Verdun and Tannenberg

Verdun and its spin-off, Tannenberg, drop you right into the brutal trenches of World War I. These multiplayer shooters focus on realistic, squad-based combat where every bullet and strategy counts. Whether you’re frontlining in France or maneuvering across Eastern Europe, expect a different take on historical warfare that’s not about quick kills but slow, tense battles. Think it’s all about sharpshooting? Think again. Close quarters, artillery, and teamwork are the real stars here.

What Is Verdun and Tannenberg?

Verdun zeroes in on the Western Front, especially the infamous 1916 battle. Tannenberg swings to the Eastern Front with sprawling maps and massive 64-player clashes. Both games lean heavily on authenticity—from weapons to environments—making you feel the weight of World War I battles. Ever handled a bayonet in a firefight? You will here.

Gameplay Rundown

Why Give It a Shot?

Looking for something different in a shooter? This isn’t about flashy moves or fast respawns. Instead, it’s about patience and tactics. You’ll remember that lesson about bringing a spare sword—because close combat is a real deal here. Plus, having AI bots fill your squad means you’re not left hanging if friends bail last minute.
