WW1 experts discuss Isonzo
Authenticity and historical accuracy are the staples of the WW1 Game Series. Pär and Indy are both familiar with World War One, each in their own way. For many years, Indy was the writer and host of The Great War, a YouTube channel which covered the events of the First World War. In his time working on the channel, he visited Fort Douaumont together with the Verdun developers. He is currently working on a similar YouTube project WW2 in Real Time, and as such he also spends many hours buried deep within the history of both wars.
Pär is the bassist, manager and lyricist of metal band Sabaton, which has based most of their albums on major battles, wars and other impactful historical events. Their two last albums, the most recent one from March this year, cover the First World War. As one of the lyricists of the band, Pär has done a lot of research on World War I. In 2019, Sabaton and Indy joined forces with Sabaton History to discuss the events that form the basis of Sabaton’s songs.
Because of their overlapping interest in the Great War, Jos invited Pär and Indy to have a look at Isonzo and review the authenticity as well as other elements in the game. To celebrate the opening of the Xbox pre-orders, the resulting video is now live! You can watch the discussion and accompanying footage through the following link: https://youtu.be/cZKegBMBWCA.
“We're very excited for the launch of the game and are honored to be part of this special collaboration with Indy and Pär, who are both experts at presenting WW1 history in their own ways. We spent a lot of time and resources recreating historical details in-game, and it was great to shine a light on them. We hope you all enjoy this first glimpse of Isonzo,” says Jos Hoebe (co-founder and Creative Director of the WW1 Game Series).

About the WW1 Game Series and the developers
Two companies with a shared vision: M2H and Blackmill Games started working together on the first entry in the WW1 Game Series: the authentic squad-based WW1 FPS game Verdun.
Isonzo is the third game in the WW1 Game Series. Verdun led the way for authentic WW1 action with close-quarters trench warfare, Tannenberg expanded the experience with maneuver warfare in Russia and Isonzo is taking it to the next level with high-altitude combat in the Alps! The WW1 Game Series throws players into intense warfare inspired by the chaos and fury of iconic battles from the First World War. The newest title is Isonzo, set on the Italian Front and expected to release September 13th, 2022. As the series is closing in on 2 million copies sold, this novel and underserved setting has proven popular with the gaming community!
Each game in the series is standalone and provides a different experience, reflecting the nature of the fighting in the many-sided theaters of the war. The games are built on a base of thorough research and receive extensive post-release support bringing new content and challenges for our players.
