Tannenberg Heads to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on July 24

Tannenberg

M2H have announced a release date that Tannenberg will be coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Tannenberg is a WWI multiplayer shooter that acts as a sister game to M2H’s prior title, Verdun. Tannenberg was released on PC back in February 2019, and was previously announced to get a console port in Winter 2019, before it was later delayed. Whereas Verdun focuses on the Western Front, Tannenberg‘s maps and playable nations are all drawn from the Eastern Front.


You can find the console release announcement trailer below.

The console port will coincide with the release of a new map, also shown in the trailer above.

The Przemyśl map is based on the site of the single longest siege of WWI, where Austro-Hungarian troops held out against Russian forces for 133 days before surrendering. The map is full of bunkers and other fortifications inspired by the real location.

Finally, Tannenberg is currently 60% off on Steam, while Verdun is 65% off.

You can find a rundown of the game (via Steam) below:


Tannenberg brings the massive battles of the Eastern Front in WW1 to life with 64 players fighting for control of key sectors of the battlefield, each one offering a distinct strategic advantage. Warfare between the Russian Empire, Germany, and their allies offers a fresh experience for first person shooter players and history enthusiasts alike.

MANEUVER GAMEPLAY

There are seven squads, 50+ weapons, seven large maps that give players tactical freedom, and a 64 player game mode with full AI bot support so you can experience epic battles at any time! Everything has been recreated with the same attention to detail seen in Verdun, the first entry in the WW1 Game Series.

HISTORICAL UNIFORM PROGRESSION

This historical game takes place across the lakes, forests, mountains and snowy plains of the Eastern Front – it was inspired by the Battle of Tannenberg in 1914, one of the most iconic encirclement battles in history. Players will be able to master a range of authentically modelled equipment brought to the field by Russian Frontovik and Cossack squads, the renowned Latvian Riflemen, or the Roumanian infantry squad. Alternatively they can join the Central Powers to serve in an Austro-Hungarian K.u.K. unit, with the German Infanterie, or in the Bulgarian rifle section.

ATMOSPHERIC WEATHER VARIATION

Tannenberg offers several game modes – including the exciting Maneuver game mode reflecting the nature of war on the Eastern Front, as 64 players battle across large maps where the objectives and battle lines are always shifting. Survive the deadly battles by working together with your four man squad and utilizing your distinctive skills. There is a wealth of historical detail including realistic WW1 weaponry, authentic uniforms, horrendous gore, and maps based on real battlefields.

AUTHENTIC WEAPONS

Tannenberg key features include:

  • Authentic WW1 atmosphere; accuracy in everything from maps and weaponry to uniforms
  • Tactical squad-based FPS; play as Russian, Roumanian, Latvian, Austro-Hungarian, German and Bulgarian troops
  • Wide-ranging landscapes; large maps each with weather variants from snow to summer sun
  • 64 player Maneuver game mode; capture strategic sectors in grand battles of movement
  • Never fight alone; squad gameplay and AI bots for Maneuver so you can join epic battles at any time

WW1 on the Eastern Front
It’s all-out war on the Eastern Front! From artillery barrages and poison gas to the deadly heavy machine gun and hard-hitting rifle, there are many weapons to master. The battlefield is a dangerous place – lead your shots, keep your eyes open, and be ready to engage in ferocious close combat at any moment.

GAS WARFARE

Tannenberg’s Maneuver game mode captures the essence of warfare on the Eastern Front, with 64 players, large open maps, and the freedom to choose which sectors you will attack and defend. Just make sure you don’t get outflanked and encircled before you can do the same to your enemies!

Authentic World War 1 Setting
The WW1 Game Series currently includes Tannenberg and Verdun (set on the Western Front). These authentic WW1 shooters let players choose from a range of squads from across the war, as they fight for control of the ever-changing frontlines.

DETAILED ENVIRONMENTS

We recreate the atmosphere of the Eastern Front with the same level of accuracy as seen in Verdun. Extensive research has been conducted, with uniforms recreated to the tiniest detail and weapons modelled to exact references. The maps use realistic props and terrain layouts based on locations from the hilly forests of Galicia to Polish villages subjected to scorched earth tactics and more!


Tannenberg is available on Windows PC, Linux, and Mac (all via Steam), and July 24th on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. If you missed it, you can find our review of the game here (we recommend it).
