Blackmill’s Verdun, a highly realistic World War I first person shooter developed with Unity, will be receiving a standalone expansion later this year with Tannneberg. Set in the Eastern Front from 1914 to 1918, the expansion will see the Russian Army, Austro Hungarian Empire and German Empire involved.

Tannenberg will have more open maps, thus necessitating a quicker pace as compared to the trench warfare and defense of the base game. It should be noted that Tannenberg will exist separately from Verdun and have its own modes to go with the new maps. Given Verdun’s current player base, it should be interesting to see how the response to Tannenberg is.

Verdun’s expansion will be out later this year on PC. There’s no word yet on a PS4 or Xbox One release so stay tuned for more details on that. What are your thoughts on Verdun offering a standalone experience with Tannenberg? Let us know in the comments below.
