Verdun is the first multiplayer FPS set in a realistic World War One setting. Merciless trench warfare offers a unique battlefield experience, immersing you and your squad into intense battles of attack and defense. Verdun is part of the WW1 Game Series, with the second entry Tannenberg taking players to the Eastern Front.
The game takes place on the Western Front between 1914 and 1918, in one of the bloodiest conflicts in world history. The developers were inspired by the infamous Battle of Verdun in 1916. The game offers 4 distinct game-modes with many historically accurate features such as realistic WW1 weaponry, authentic uniforms, horrendous gore, and maps based on the real battlefields of France and Belgium.
Verdun key features include:

With the arrival of the frozen mountainside and ice tunnels of the Marmolada map we also released the Glacial Units Pack to provide improvised clothing for the extreme cold. But as the fighting continues with no sign of the conditions improving, it’s time to offer something a little more heavy-duty.
Today we’re excited to officially announce our next cosmetic DLC: say hello to the Altitude Units Pack!
Everything you’ll find in the Altitude Units Pack!
Compared with the Alpine Units Pack and even the Glacial Units Pack, these uniforms are thicker with more padding and layers. For instance, with the Alpine Units Pack the Austro-Hungarian troops got great coats and a scarf here or there, but they still had bare hands and regular boots. That won’t do in the extreme conditions like those seen fighting for the heights of Marmolada! With the Altitude Units you get fur lined coats, thick gloves, balaclavas, wool hats, and even some unusual wicker footwear…

The pack also includes ski jackets and their accompanying hoods, as you can see in the center-right soldier below. There’s a range of headgear choices, with many caps and helmets included with or without balaclavas and hoods. Often there are goggles or sunglasses in easy reach. Of course these are not modern sunglasses – instead they tend to use mesh or thin slits to try and limit the sun’s blinding impact.

There are also a number of smoking pipes in the pack – including this one with has been customized with the addition of carved ‘trench art’.
Last but not least, there are three mustaches and two mustache-beard combos included, as well as two face options with the slightly haggard old soldier Giacomo and fresh faced Georg who has likely just arrived at the front. As always you will be free to mix and match these items within historical limits. We hope to announce the release date for the Altitude Units Pack soon!
Are we forgetting something?We did say that a bigger teaser for the new game mode would be part of this week’s blog. Have a gander at this very small part of the ground you’ll be fighting over…
For the anniversary of the Battle of Verdun, we look back at the history of the battle. There is a new campaign event with the possibility to win a teaser...
Time sure does fly. It’s already been five years since the official release of Tannenberg! To celebrate the occasion, we invited some very special guests...
New uniform pack teaser, and we talk reference material and keeping things authentic in Isonzo while still being fun.
What we can learn from written correspondence during the First World War, including an account of a hard fought battle for the Castelletto.
I love this game.
If you ever need a idea for an expansion, please think about the spanish civil war. Altough gcould sound a very local conflict with a little public, it was the almost direct predecessor of the IIWW.
It would have a similar rifle based gameplay,with potentially tanks, airplanes, more lighter machineguns and smg. The selling point could be the war of ideologies, where traditionalist, nationalist and fascist were fighting against republicans, anarchists and communist, with a lot of foreigners volunteers; more urban fights; and one of the Wire creators, it's making a mini tv short about the american volunteers. There hasn't been a real fps about this period, except a mod for CoD2.
Cheers!
