Gallipolinext game in the long run World War 1 series from BlackMill Games, will be officially released on August 20. The upcoming first-person shooter takes place on the war front in the Middle East, with Gallipoli represents the 1915 Battle of Gallipoli.
Gallipoli is the fourth game in BlackMill Games' World War 1 series, after Verdun, Tannenbergand Isonzo. Each game is inspired by the titular historical battles, featuring authentic weapons, uniforms and equipment from the period. And while historical accuracy is important to these games, the selling point for many is the tactical shooter.
Gallipoli releases on August 20 for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S
In a brand new release date trailer, BlackMill Games confirmed that the WW1 game Gallipoli will be officially released for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on August 20, 2026. The trailer focuses on player feedback with the message “We've heard you”, highlighting improvements to heavy weapon sounds, movement and gunplay, crossplay, strategic team play and new roles compared to previous titles in the series.
Gallipoli was originally scheduled for release on May 21st and was revealed as such just a month before that date. However, a critical technical issue eventually delayed the launch, and only now has the developer been able to commit to a new release date. Hopefully, it has been able to overcome the previous hurdle to prevent release, and it will now make its new date without further delay.
Historically, World War I has been underrepresented in video games. WW2 games are much more common, with a much larger variety of titles. That said, there are still some great titles set in the First World War, with DICE's Battlefield 1 perhaps the most famous example of all. Also Call of Dutythe biggest military shooter franchise in the world, has no game set during World War I, despite annual releases over the past two decades. This is part of why the continuation of BlackMill Games' World War 1 series is so important – it fills a niche that other developers aren't willing to fill right now.

By focusing on a specific battle per game, BlackMill Games has given itself plenty of potential for future titles while staying true to the World War I setting the series is known for. It has not even covered some of the most famous battles of the war, such as the Somme or the Battle of the Marne. This focus also allows for extra attention to detail to achieve perfect historical accuracy, whereas many games spread themselves too thin and try to depict too many settings at once. It will be interesting to see where BlackMill Games goes next after the launch of Gallipoli.
