Independent Dutch studio Blackmill Games, the folks behind the World War 1 FPS Verdun, have announced a standalone expansion for the game.

The new expansion is titled simply Tannenberg, as the game is focused entirely on the eastern front of the first World War. For those history buffs out there, The Battle of Tannenberg is where the German Empire nearly annihilated the entire Russian second army.

Featured above, you can view the announcement trailer for the FPS, which is launching sometime later this year, on PC via Steam.

Here’s a rundown on the game, via Blackmill:

Tannenberg is the latest entry in the 1914-1918 WW1 Game Series that started with WW1 FPS Verdun, expanding the focus to encompass the Eastern Front. Warfare on the border of the Russian Empire offers a fresh experience for new and veteran players alike, with new squads and weapons, open maps that give players tactical freedom, and a whole new 64 player game mode!

This historical game takes place across the lakes, forests, and snowy plains of the Eastern Front – it was inspired by the Battle of Tannenberg in 1914 where the Russian Second Army was dealt a heavy blow by the Germans. Tannenberg offers a range of game modes – including the exciting new mode reflecting the different nature of war on the Eastern Front – and a wealth of historical detail: realistic WW1 weaponry, authentic uniforms, horrendous gore, and maps based on real battlefields, this time in the forests, plains and mountains along the border between the Russian Empire and the Central Powers.

Key Features:

• Realistic World War 1 gameplay
• Tactical squad-based FPS
• Warfare on the Eastern Front
• Majestic backdrops and map detail
• Variety of game modes for player counts of up to 64

Experience World War One on the Eastern Front

• It’s all-out war on the Eastern Front! From artillery barrages and poison gas to the deadly machinegun and humble rifle, there are many weapons to master. The battlefield is a dangerous place, and a little thought will help you stay alive – lead your shots, keep your eyes open, and be ready to engage in ferocious close combat at any moment.

Authentic Eastern Front Warfare

• The development team is aiming to recreate the atmosphere of the Eastern Front with the same level of accuracy as in Verdun. Uniforms have been recreated to the tiniest detail, the weapons are modeled to exact references and the maps use realistic props and terrain layouts.
