Move over Western Front, there’s a new theatre of war in town. BlackMill Games, the historical maestros behind the acclaimed WW1 Game Series, have officially sounded the charge. The next major instalment, Gallipoli, is set to storm onto PC and consoles on 21 May 2026.
The announcement comes with a poignant timing, landing just ahead of Anzac Day (25 April). To mark the occasion, the developers released a stunning new trailer that pays tribute to the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZACs) and the sheer scale of the campaign.
A New Front in the Great War
While previous titles like Verdun and Isonzo focused on the muddy trenches of Europe and the vertical heights of the Alps, Gallipoli shifts the lens to the Middle Eastern Front. Players will find themselves thrust into the gruelling Ottoman campaigns, choosing sides between the British Empire and the Ottoman forces.
Key Features to Expect:
- Iconic Beach Landings: Experience the tension of rowing to shore in fragile boats under heavy fire—an authentic recreation of the landings at Anzac Cove.
- Diverse Environments: Fight through sun-baked deserts, coastal dunes, and war-torn urban locations across the Gallipoli Peninsula and Mesopotamia.
- Historical Authenticity: As per BlackMill’s signature style, expect period-accurate weaponry (including “jam tin” grenades), uniforms, and maps designed with meticulous historical detail.
- Full Crossplay: Whether you’re on PC (Steam, Epic, Microsoft Store), PlayStation 5, or Xbox Series X|S, you’ll be able to join the same 50-player battlefields from day one.
Honour and Realism
Jos Hoebe, founder of BlackMill Games, emphasised the weight behind this project:
“Ahead of ANZAC Day, our new trailer aims to shine a light on ANZAC Cove, a battlefield we’ve carefully brought to life in-game. It’s a setting that carries real historical weight, and we hope to encourage reflection on the events that took place there.”
For fans of tactical, squad-based shooters, Gallipoli looks to be the deepest dive into the Great War yet. The game will launch at a competitive price point of £24.99 ($29.99 / €29.99).
