Tannenberg

M2H and Blackmill Games have brought their WWI multiplayer FPS, Tannenberg, to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Tannenberg originally left Early Access in February 2019, and acts as a companion game to the company’s previous title, Verdun. While Verdun focuses on the Western Front, Tannenberg brings players to the Eastern Front, with access to new playable nations with unique weapons and loadouts.

The console version launched with a new map, which was also released on Steam in a free update. The Przemyśl map is focused on taking, or holding, a heavily reinforced fortress. In real life, this fortress led to the longest siege of the entire war, where Austro-Hungarian troops held off Russian forces for 133 days. You can read more about the update here.

You can find the console launch trailer below.

You can find a rundown of the game (via Steam) below:

Tannenberg brings the massive battles of the Eastern Front in WW1 to life with 64 players fighting for control of key sectors of the battlefield, each one offering a distinct strategic advantage. Warfare between the Russian Empire, Germany, and their allies offers a fresh experience for first person shooter players and history enthusiasts alike.

MANEUVER GAMEPLAY

There are seven squads, 50+ weapons, seven large maps that give players tactical freedom, and a 64 player game mode with full AI bot support so you can experience epic battles at any time! Everything has been recreated with the same attention to detail seen in Verdun, the first entry in the WW1 Game Series.

HISTORICAL UNIFORM PROGRESSION

This historical game takes place across the lakes, forests, mountains and snowy plains of the Eastern Front – it was inspired by the Battle of Tannenberg in 1914, one of the most iconic encirclement battles in history. Players will be able to master a range of authentically modelled equipment brought to the field by Russian Frontovik and Cossack squads, the renowned Latvian Riflemen, or the Roumanian infantry squad. Alternatively they can join the Central Powers to serve in an Austro-Hungarian K.u.K. unit, with the German Infanterie, or in the Bulgarian rifle section.

ATMOSPHERIC WEATHER VARIATION

Tannenberg offers several game modes – including the exciting Maneuver game mode reflecting the nature of war on the Eastern Front, as 64 players battle across large maps where the objectives and battle lines are always shifting. Survive the deadly battles by working together with your four man squad and utilizing your distinctive skills. There is a wealth of historical detail including realistic WW1 weaponry, authentic uniforms, horrendous gore, and maps based on real battlefields.

AUTHENTIC WEAPONS

Tannenberg key features include:

GAS WARFARE

Tannenberg’s Maneuver game mode captures the essence of warfare on the Eastern Front, with 64 players, large open maps, and the freedom to choose which sectors you will attack and defend. Just make sure you don’t get outflanked and encircled before you can do the same to your enemies!

DETAILED ENVIRONMENTS

We recreate the atmosphere of the Eastern Front with the same level of accuracy as seen in Verdun. Extensive research has been conducted, with uniforms recreated to the tiniest detail and weapons modelled to exact references. The maps use realistic props and terrain layouts based on locations from the hilly forests of Galicia to Polish villages subjected to scorched earth tactics and more!

Tannenberg is available on Windows PC, Linux, and Mac (all via Steam), PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. If you missed it, you can find our review of the game here (we recommend it).
