ALKMAAR, THE NETHERLANDS, July 28, 2021 – Authentic WW1 FPS games Verdun and Tannenberg commemorate the start of the First World War on this day 107 years ago, with in-game events and social media giveaways.
Until August 8th, the Film Memoir mode is available for all PC players. Activated from the options menu, Film Memoir applies a black and white film grain and sound effect overlay to recreate period film cameras as you play. Normally Film Memoir is only available to those who have purchased a Supporter Edition for Verdun or Tannenberg.
A new campaign event also begins today - The War Begins, 1914. Too often WW1 became a brutal battle of attrition, and the in-game campaigns reflect that by tracking casualties in multiplayer battles for the Entente and Central Powers. The ‘winner’ will be the faction which has suffered fewer losses by August 8th. There is no special requirement to participate - simply join an online public server and your contribution will be tracked.
On our social media channels we are sharing historical facts about the beginning of ‘The War to End All Wars’, alongside giveaway events.
Last but not least, following the Epic Games Store release last week, Western Front game Verdun is FREE to claim on the Epic Games Store for one more day, and Tannenberg’s 10% discount also lasts until then.

About Verdun
WW1 FPS Verdun takes place on the Western Front between 1914 and 1918, in one of the bloodiest conflicts in world history. We were inspired by the infamous Battle of Verdun in France, 1916. The game offers four distinct game-modes: Frontlines, Attrition, Rifle Deathmatch and Squad Defense.
Verdun is as immersive and gritty as it can get with elements such as authentic weapons, realistic bullet physics, and horrendous gore that portrays the true horror of First World War battlefields (this feature can be disabled). In the event of a gas attack, players need to put on their gas mask, which impairs your view and awareness. And if getting shot or gassed isn’t enough, sudden artillery barrages called in by NCOs can pin you down if you’re caught in the open – this unforgiving war isn’t for the faint hearted!
About Tannenberg
WW1 FPS Tannenberg expanded the focus to encompass the Eastern Front. The game offers a fresh experience for new and veteran players alike, with seven squads including smaller nations like Bulgaria and Roumania, 50+ weapons, nine open maps that give players tactical freedom, and a Maneuver game mode with AI bot support so you can enjoy epic battles at any time!
It’s all-out war on the Eastern Front! From artillery barrages and poison gas to the deadly heavy machine gun and hard-hitting rifle, there are many weapons to master. The battlefield is a dangerous place, and a little thought will help you stay alive – lead your shots, keep your eyes open, and be ready to engage in ferocious close combat at any moment.
Next in the WW1 Game Series: Alpine Warfare in Isonzo!
Verdun and Tannenberg are part of the WW1 Game Series, and a third game is coming: Isonzo! Every game in the series delivers intense, authentic First World War multiplayer action. There’s attention to detail in everything from weapon models and uniforms to trench designs and gameplay that reflects the different theaters of the Great War.
The games are built on a base of thorough research including field trips, museum visits, and a lot of historical documentation and images! They receive extensive post-release support bringing new content and challenges for our players. Each game in the series is standalone and provides a different experience, with specific game modes for each of the many-sided theaters of the war.
