Gallipoli is a first-person shooter video game set on the Middle Eastern front of World War I. [1] [2] The team-based multiplayer game is set to release in 2026 on Windows, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S and supports cross-play. [2] [3] It is the fourth entry in the WW1 Game Series following up Isonzo, Tannenberg and Verdun. [4]

Gallipoli is inspired by the 1915 Battle of Gallipoli. [5] The game includes historically accurate World War I weapons, authentic uniforms and equipment, detailed injury and gore modeling, and maps based on the real battlefields of the Middle-Eastern Front. [3] [6] Players will either play on the side of Britain or the Ottoman Empire. [2] [3]

The game runs on Unity 6 and was developed by Dutch [7] independent studio BlackMill Games. IGN first announced the game through their website on August 18, 2025. [2]

Gameplay

Gallipoli is a tactical squad-based multiplayer game with PVP combat. Players can choose from a variety of classes. [8] [9] The officer leads their team, while the Light Machine Gunner fires on the enemy and the Stretcher Bearer tries to keep their squad in the fight. Each class can choose from a different selection of weapons and equipment. [10]

Gallipoli's signature game mode can be played with up to 50 players and is about momentum. [11] The aim of the attacking side is to complete their objectives as quickly as possible. The defending team has to hold their objective as long as possible to waste the enemy's momentum. [11]
