Verdun celebrates 8 years!
The Poison Prince 1915 Campaign is over
The battle is over, and the Entente have suffered 50,280 less casualties than the Central Powers. Another Entente victory probably won't come as a surprise to anyone who's been following the campaigns so far. Still, things can change so we'll see what happens next time - a new campaign will be coming soon!
A note about the total casualties: they once again cleared 2,000,000 total, reaching almost 2,500,000. That's more casualties than the German military suffered during the entirety of WW1... an important reminder that games like Verdun and Tannenberg represent particularly intense frontline combat, of a kind that generally wasn't sustained for very long.

The first Isonzo intel is released!
For Isonzo research, we made a small road trip down to Italy last year for some on-site research. Three of the team made the trip: series creative director Jos, together with producer Thomas and level designer Robin. As well as photos and recordings of scenery, we made also made a few videos. Here's the first one:

Even better, we have an extensive dev blog which goes into more detail about the multi-map Offensive game mode! Check it out on the Isonzo steam hub:
