You can still participate in the Wolf Truce! Hold the truce and earn a special medal.

Hello soldiers,

It has gotten cold on the Eastern Front. The winter and snow have made it a difficult terrain to battle on, the soldiers are struggling to survive, let alone fight their enemies. But they’re not the only ones being affected by the cold season and the war. Like a soldier, the wolf awaits his moment to attack his prey in the woods...




The Wolf Truce has returned to Tannenberg! From November 18-28 you’ll be able to participate in this unique Tannenberg experience! When you hear the wolves howl on the battlefields, the wolf pack charge their attack on you and your enemy. Both sides of the battlefield have the opportunity to cease fire and fight the hungry wolves together. If everyone is able to eliminate the pack of hungry beasts without hurting anyone on the opposite team, you’ll all earn a special medal.




During the third winter of The Great War in 1917, the region between the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea was the battlefield for the German and Russian Armies. Having to fight each other often in brutal conditions and harsh environments resulted in negative effects on the soldiers’ supply lines, leading to some serious food shortages.

However, the soldiers weren’t the only ones who were hungry. The wolves who were native to the region faced an increased difficulty in hunting their normal prey. They already started feasting on the livestock in nearby villages, but it wasn’t enough to quell their hunger.
The wolf attacks might at one point have been so fearsome that the German and Russian troops called a temporary cease-fire toward each other and formed a brief alliance to jointly fight the lupine threat (although reports do come from US newspapers, so take the reports with a pinch of salt).





Have you been enjoying your battles on the Italian Front? Be sure you're well prepared for when the Germans join the game soon! Be sure to read our latest devblog to read and see a bit more about the German riflemen!

Don't become dinner soldiers!

Today is November 11th - Remembrance Day. Also known as Poppy Day, this memorial day is observed by Commonwealth members since the end of World War One. A special day to remember those who have fallen in their line of duty. Other non-Commonwealth countries started to follow this tradition and have their Remembrance Day on November 11th.

This tradition grew out of Armistice Day, which marks the signing of the armistice being signed between the Allies and Germany.

In the United States, this day is better known as Veterans Day.
The common British, Canadian, South African, and ANZAC tradition includes a one- or two-minute silence at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month (11:00 am, 11 November), as that marks the time when the armistice took effect (EU time).


The signing of the Armistice

As stated previously, this day is also known as Poppy Day. The poppy flower is a common symbol of Remembrance Day. It became the symbol of the Royal British Legion, a veterans’ organisation. They sell paper Poppy flowers which one can wear on their clothing, in memory of those who’ve fallen. The proceeds will go towards supporting war victims and families who’ve lost a family member during war.


In our games, you’ll be able to remember those who have fallen as well. There's 2 minutes of silence when you start up the game, just like the IRL tradition. If you choose to participate, you’ll receive a Remembrance medal afterwards.
Furthermore, we’ve also enabled the Film Memoir mode for everyone for a timely period. You can enable it by going into settings -> graphics.




Additionally, we have a special poppy flower emote in our Discord , specially for this day. Feel free to use it in your Discord bio, status and share with others. If you want to, you can share with us as well who and/or how you remember on this day in our dedicated armistice channel.

Hello soldiers!
Queue up and be ready to fight on the Eastern Front for free this week! Starting today, August 26, people are able to play Tannenberg for an entire week (until September 2nd).



If you want to continue fighting on the Eastern Front after the free week, make sure to get the game straight away with a 80% discount!

Today marks also the start of The Battle Of Tannenberg in 1914. The battle took place in Allenstein, Prussia, which is located in current day Poland. Here, the German army and Russian army fought each other for 5 days (until August 30th), which led to the almost full destruction of the Russian Second Army and its commanding general, Alexander Samsonov, took his own life.

The German’s success was brought to them by Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg, along with his staff-officer Erich Ludendorff.



The battle got his name as an avenge to the Teutonic Knights’ defeat, who fought the first Battle of Tannenberg 500 years prior. The Teutonic Knights’ were part of a Christian military order, who aided Christians on their pilgrimages on the way to the Holy Land, Jerusalem.

Isonzo’s release is not far away! We recently shared some new footage as a premier during gamescom! Be sure to check the IGN video!
