    Tanks Take the Field: Gallipoli’s First Free Expansion Revealed

    BlackMill Games dropped an exciting reveal at the FPS Games Show, officially announcing the first free post-launch expansion for Gallipoli. The upcoming update, titled Ali Al Muntar, is scheduled to launch on October 1.

    This major update introduces a brand-new map inspired by the historical assault on Ali Al Muntar—a strategic hill that served as a heavily defended position during the Second Battle of Gaza in World War I.

    A First for the WW1 Game Series

    The centrepiece of the Ali Al Muntar map brings a major gameplay evolution to BlackMill’s historically grounded tactical FPS franchise: armoured tanks.

    For the first time across the entire WW1 Game Series (following Verdun, Tannenberg, and Isonzo), mobile armour will play a direct role on the battlefield. The expansion features a cinematic opening sequence where heavy tanks escort attacking forces into position as they make their initial push toward enemy lines.

    Dense Farmland to Hilltop Fortresses

    The environment itself adds fresh tactical dynamics for squad play:

    • Natural Cover: The lower terrain features farmland lined with dense rows of cacti—one of the region’s primary exports—creating unique sightline breaks, narrow combat corridors, and cover for infantry flanks.
    • The Final Stand: The final objective sector culminates at the summit of Mound Ali Muntar, where players must fight for control around the iconic Ali Al Muntar shrine (maq?m).

    What Else is Coming on October 1?

    The Ali Al Muntar update kicks off the developer’s broader Second Expedition content roadmap. Alongside the free map and cinematic tank escorts, players can look forward to:

    • 4 New Weapons: Available for free to expand class arsenals.
    • New Features: Time-of-day/weather presets and proximity chat support.
    • Paid Cosmetic Packs: Two optional cosmetic DLCs—the Khaki Pack (featuring the West Kent subfaction) and the Black Watch Pack (featuring the Scottish subfaction).

    Gallipoli is available now on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, featuring full crossplay.
