Verdun – Official release date announced
M2H and BlackMill Games have announced the official release date of their World War I first person shooter game Verdun. We’ve previewed the early access version of this turn-based shooter, which you can read about here, but much has changed since then. There were many changes that were about to be released when we’ve interviewed Jos Hoebe but even more features have been added to the game. But without further ado, let’s make sure the “good news reaches the trenches!”
Fans of unique first person shooters that are incredibly detailed historically can note down the following date, 28th of April 2015, as this is when Verdun will be releasing. Players who have already tasted the authenticity of the game during Early Access will receive an “early access medal” for their courage on the battlefield. They will also get exclusive access to the live release one day earlier than their other comrades – a gesture provided by the developers for the loyalty and support of Verdun players.
To celebrate the release of Verdun, the developers will be holding a special tournament on Friday 1st of May. If you’d like to enter the tournament, you’ll need to register here beforehand. For more information about the upcoming tournament, follow this link – it won’t kill you I swear!
Last but certainly not least, here are the key features of Verdun:
- Unique World War 1 gameplay: Authentic weaponry, character levelling and realistic historical battlefields set in France and Belgium
- Tactical squad-based FPS: Squad assembling and upgrading
- True trench warfare: Real-time dynamic frontline; momentum-based attack and counter-attack gameplay
- Chemical weaponry: Tactical gas deployment and a claustrophobic gas mask experience
- WW1 atmosphere: Typical WW1 music, art, units, grim battlefields and an immersive user interface
- Challenging game modes: Dynamic Frontline and rifle Deathmatch
