Gallipoli
The new WW1 shooter from BlackMill Games — the studio behind Isonzo, Verdun, and Tannenberg. It's the series' first trip to the Ottoman Fronts: 50-player objective battles, historic beach landings, trench warfare and sun-scorched desert fights. Out now on Steam (Aug 20, 2026) at $29.99 — the 25% launch discount has ended.
What is Gallipoli?
Gallipoli is a large-scale WW1 multi-player shooter and the newest entry in BlackMill Games' WW1 Game Series. If you've played Isonzo or Verdun, you know the template: grounded, moderately tactical 50-player objective-based battles with historically flavored classes and weapons. Gallipoli takes that to the 1915 campaign — beach landings, trench lines, and desert expeditions across the Ottoman Fronts.
One important note about the name: "Gallipoli" also refers to the famous 1915 campaign and an Italian seaside town, so if you've only seen the word in history books or travel blogs, this page is specifically about the video game from BlackMill Games.
How it plays
- 50-player objective battles. The store description is explicit: intense objective-based fights with 50 players, attacking and defending across the peninsula.
- 10 historic classes. You pick from ten period classes, each with authentic weaponry and a role in the fight.
- Trench warfare and desert combat. The map variety is the selling point here — claustrophobic trench work one match, open sun-scorched desert the next.
- Grounded, not arcade. BlackMill's series has always been closer to authentic-feeling warfare than to fast arena shooters. The top community review one day in basically says it: if you want Battlefield-style speed, this isn't it; if you want the trench-war atmosphere, it delivers.
