Isonzo official trailer
Elevating WW1 to unexpected heights!
The WW1 Game Series seeks to bring the Great War closer than ever before, and after prequels Verdun and Tannenberg, it is now Isonzo’s turn to take the stage. Starting today, the Italian and Austro-Hungarian armies will clash in Isonzo river valleys and the Alps of the Southern Front.
The ‘Offensive’ game mode is a carefully refined experience that allows players to witness first hand the high-altitude battles of the Italian Front and reenact key historical moments. Authenticity and historical accuracy are the staples of the WW1 Game Series, and Isonzo takes the series to a new height.
“We’ve worked on Isonzo for over three years now with a passionate development team and several historians. We’re all very excited to finally put this title out there for all to experience! But our Italian adventure doesn’t end here – as with our earlier games we have great plans for new content beyond launch. First up on the roadmap: German troops! ” says Jos Hoebe, Creative Director and co-founder of the WW1 Game Series.
From fighting high up in idyllic Alpine scenery to close-combat in rocky trenches, who will survive the crosshairs of sharpshooters, biplane bombers, or the terrifying poison gas? Take position behind a gatling gun or sound the horn to support your squad mates in urban streets and river valleys – take part in key WW1 moments and see if you can change the course of history. This is the Italian Front!

BlackMill Games and Focus Entertainment join hands
Focus Entertainment and BlackMill Games are teaming up to work on the latter’s vision of the First World War together, taking the majority stake in the franchise. The WW1 Game Series has been going steady for almost ten years now, having released the games Verdun, Tannenberg and Isonzo. Focus Entertainment believes in the series and will combine its efforts with BlackMill Games to make sure impactful historical events continue to get the attention that they deserve.
Jos Hoebe, founder and Creative Director of the series, will remain the CEO of BlackMill Games as the sole developer. He and the entire team behind the series are excited to bring the company to the next level together with Focus Entertainment. Focus Entertainment’s experience in the industry can help Isonzo and the franchise expand their ambitious long-term plans, all while maintaining the core values of BlackMill Games’ development philosophy. The release of Isonzo and this partnership with Focus Entertainment are huge steps forward in offering even more compelling authentic games for fans of history.
After co-creating three titles focused on World War One, the founders of M2H wished for a change to pursue other passions. The collaboration between Focus Entertainment and BlackMill Games allows them to step aside and give their former partners at BlackMill Games the freedom to chase their vision for the accurate entertainment portrayal of key moments of our history.
