Verdun - gamedrivenl
2023 has been an eventful year for the WW1 Game Series, with special Christmas Truce and Wolf Truce events in Verdun and Tannenberg, and Verdun appearing in a French museum exhibit! The series also celebrated our 10 year anniversary, since Verdun entered Early Access back in 2013!

Our latest game Isonzo has naturally taken center stage, with multiple free expansions adding maps and weapons. Thanks to support from the community, it also won the IndieDB Indie of the Year 2022 award! Let's take a look at everything that's been added to the game this year...

- 4 Huge New Maps!
- 8 New Weapons!
- 2 Cosmetic DLC Packs!
- Mac Support!
- Much more!

If you haven't yet felt the crunch of Alpine snow beneath your boots, Isonzo is currently 67% off with DLC up to 30% off until January 4th.

Four New Battlefields for Isonzo!
Piave - Caporetto Offensive

Grappa - Caporetto Offensive

Piana - Mountain War Offensive

Marmolada - White War Offensive




Upwards and onwards!
We completed a lot of our roadmap milestones in 2023 just as planned, and there are plenty more coming in 2024!

There'll be a new map, more weapons, additional cosmetic DLC packs... and a special game mode! We're maintaining radio silence about the new game mode for now, but keep your ears to the ground and you might pick up some teasers.


Marmolada Video Dev Blog
Go behind the scenes with map designer Kian as he discusses the creation of Marmolada in this YouTube video - including almost 1000 reference images!



Verdun at the Museum
In the aisles of the History Center of the Notre-Dame-de-Lorette Memorial'14-18 you’ll be able to find a special exhibition! The War games. Playing with History exhibit allows visitors to immerse themselves into WW1 history, by having 10 games available to play. We’re very pleased that Verdun is one of those games!

The exhibit runs until May 2024, and entry to the museum and exhibition are both free. If you’re in the area, check it out!



Christmas Truce
The Christmas Truce is live once again in Verdun, and you’re able to participate in multiple activities together with other soldiers who joined the Christmas Truce. Join a friendly match of football, have a snowball fight or just take a nice relaxing stroll and enjoy the winter scenery.

The Truce event runs until January 7th!



Wolves in Tannenberg!
In October, the wolves returned to the forests of Tannenberg, asking the question: would you cease fire with your human foes to battle a new enemy? Some of you will have managed to hold a successful truce to fight off the canine aggressors, and others, not so much.

Last but definitely not least... thank you!
We're extremely grateful for all the support from our great community this year, and it's been wonderful to see people enjoying themselves with our games.

We can't wait to show you what we have planned for 2024! On that note, we'll end with a little Isonzo WIP image...

Hello soldiers,

During the war and especially around Christmas, there were several unofficial and spontaneous truces where armies agreed not to shoot at each other. Soldiers would get a chance to take care of the wounded, burry the fallen and were able to find shelter against severe hardships, including frostbite, avalanches, and supply shortage. The last one, not being something uncommon in the Alps on the Italian Front.

But the most well-documented one, which took place on a larger scale was the Christmas Truce on the Western Front. An event inspirend by this extraordinary moment in history is starting today (Dec 21) until January 7 in Verdun!



On Christmas Eve 1914, soldiers of both the British and German empires decided to lay down their arms and sing Christmas carols across the trenches. What followed was a rare occurrence during World War I, where troops of opposing sides would meet each other, shake hands, share drinks & food and play games like football.

A truly historical moment where humanity won over conflict.

You can once again earn an annual special medal by participating in a Christmas Truce.
Enter No Man’s Land by choosing the ‘Christmas Truce’ option from the Play menu in the game. Here you’re able to meet fellow soldiers, together in a peaceful setting based on the actual Christmas Truce that took place in 1914 on the Western Front.



Festive activities
During the Christmas Truce in Verdun, you’re able to participate in multiple activities together with other soldiers who joined the Christmas Truce. Join a friendly match of football (soccer), have a snowball fight or just have a nice relaxing stroll on the map to enjoy the winter white scenery.
At the end of your activities, you can all hurdle up together and relax at the bonfire, listen to some old Christmas Carols and say goodbye to the soldiers who lost their lives by attending a burial.

Christmas wishes from the front
You can send special Christmas wishes to your loved ones straight from the game! There are post offices on the Christmas Truce map that allow you to send people outside the game digital Christmas cards, and there’s more to it. If you send Christmas cards from Verdun, you'll automatically join our giveaway raffle! A win-win situation right? So be sure to send your holiday wishes along, which might feel to some people like you're throwing them a life-line!

There are multiple post offices around the map, each with different post cards – can you find them all?



Christmas Winter Sale
The WW1 Game Series is also on sale later today! Complete your collection by buying the games now or gift a friend the entire bundle to fight on all the fronts together! At least for when the Christmas Truce is over..

Today is November 11th - Armistice Day. Also known as Poppy Day, Remembrance Day and Veterans Day. A special memorial day dedicated to remember those who gave their life during WW1. Held by several countries, moments of silence fall over several areas all over the world.



As more countries follow this tradition of remembering those who’ve fallen in their line of duty, November 11th is known under many names, but all with the same idea in mind. This tradition grew out of Armistice Day, which marks the signing of the armistice between the Allies and Germany.

A moment of silence in Verdun

In Verdun, but also Isonzo & Tannenberg, 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 as it would be during an IRL memorial. If you choose to participate, you’ll receive a Remembrance medal afterwards.



Furthermore, we’ve also enabled the Film Memoir mode (for PC players only) for today as well. You find these settings at Settings -> Graphics.

Remember together

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.

Other activities that you could do to remember on this day are:
  • Visit a WW1 museum, stand still by the stories that are being told through the exposition
  • Read a WW1-related book. Fiction or nonfiction, whatever has your preference. As long as you feel compelled and touched by the story.
  • Watch a WW1 movie and/or series. Your streaming service might have a special dedicated section for today. Watch a movie you enjoy or try something new.
