BlackMill Games announced that Gallipoli, the latest installment in its World War I games, will debut on August 20.

The title will debut on the PC, PS5 and XBOX Series X|S with full crossplay. On the PC, it will debut on Steam, Microsoft Store and the Epic Games Store for $30 with a 25% launch discount.

BlackMill Games previously planned to launch the game on May 21, but it has now moved the launch to August 20 to allow for additional time for final improvements and to ensure the game is ready for all players on day one.

Inspired by the historic Gallipoli campaign and the legacy of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, Gallipoli takes players to the Ottoman Fronts of the First World War, where British Empire and Ottoman forces clash in intense 25v25 squad-based battles across beaches, towns, and deserts.

Players can choose from 10 historically inspired classes, taking on roles such as Officer, Heavy Machine Gunner, Sniper, or Stretcher Bearer, with each class playing a vital role in supporting their squad. Lay down suppressive fire, coordinate attacks, and adapt to the chaos of battle with realistic weapon handling, deliberate reloads, and a suppression system designed to capture the intensity of combat on the front lines.

Featuring over 50 authentic weapons and equipment options from the British and Ottoman arsenals, Gallipoli recreates the brutal conditions of the campaign, from dangerous beach landings to the gruelling expeditions across the deserts of Lower Mesopotamia.

Key features:

Authentic WW1 battles: Fight through history with immersive maps, detailed uniform customization and 50+ historically accurate weapons and equipment.

Varied theatre: Engage in expeditionary warfare across coastal ravines, arid deserts, urban areas and more. Land on the beaches of Gallipoli aboard the SS River Clyde or hunker down under the ancient Arch of Ctesiphon.

Immersive gameplay: Enter brutal WW1 combat with one-shot-one-kill gameplay focused on grounded, objective-based battles. Keep your momentum high while you break through the enemy’s defenses.

Realistic gunplay: Handle weighty weapons that look, feel, and sound authentic. Grow more skillful with experience, improving aim, handling and your ability to reload while suppressed.
Class-based multiplayer FPS: Choose from 10 historical classes with distinct specializations. Join a squad and work as a team on PC and Consoles with crossplay.

Never fight alone: Bots will join the fight over the future of the Ottoman Fronts in public matches, and optionally in custom matches.

Gallipoli is the fourth standalone title in the WW1 Game Series, joining Verdun, Tannenberg and Isonzo. With more than four million sales across the series, BlackMill Games continues to create historically inspired multiplayer FPS experiences focused on teamwork, authenticity and the realities of the Great War.
