Alpine Battle on the Italian Front

Isonzo takes place on the southern front during the Great War and catapults players into the titanic clash between the Kingdom of Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Inspired by the two-year battle for the river of the same name, Isonzo will allow players to cross the new battlefields of The First World War, both beautiful and lethal. The fighting will take place on peaks with breathtaking views, impassable valleys and fantastic cities in northern Italy. The new Offensive game mode transports players in the midst of the most famous historical battles on the Italian front, from high-altitude fights in the Alps to bloody clashes for the Isonzo River.

What's new in the WW1 series

Matt Hergaarden, developer and co-founder of M2H, said: "The Italian front has proved to be the ideal theatre to raise the bar of WW1 series games, both figuratively and literally! The Alpine War of Isonzo brings numerous new game mechanics, together with the new Italian army, committed to fighting against the Austro-Hungarian army. We can't wait to show what we've been working on: there's a lot of interesting news coming soon!".

Isonzo is the third video game in the WW1 series and introduces fans to the Alpine War in northeastern Italy. Tannenberg revolves around the large-scale maneuvering war on the Eastern Front, and Verdun, the game that gave rise to it all, catapults players into an intense trench warfare on the Western Front.

Isonzo lays his foundations on what is good already seen in the WW1 series, taking verdun's intensity and combining it with tannenberg's vastness. It opens new horizons in the Alps with a complete review of features, including a new Story mode, to further elevate the series and engage players like never before!

Authentic high-altitude combat

Authentic weapons, uniforms, and sound effects will get players into the heart of World War I. Everything in Isonzo,from trench design to landmarks, has been recreated following historical sources, such as films, diaries, and photographs taken on the battlefields during searches. The new Offensive game mode allows players to guide the attack through the beautiful Italian landscapes, or to organize the defense on dynamic battlefields: the situation can change at any time!

You need to react to changing battlefield conditions by carefully choosing your role and equipment: hit engineers alongside the mountain to prevent cutting the cable, use the grenade launcher to clean up strong enemies along the river, or order barriers as an officer. This is the battle for the fate of nations and both sides will unleash their arsenal. Players will handle everything from bayonets and machine guns to mortars and grenade launchers: if that's not enough, you can ask for air support, bombing, and lethal gas.

The Great War on the Italian front comes to life at high altitude! Remember one thing: it is not the mountain to conquer, but the enemy.
