Isonzo focuses on the conflict between the Kingdom of Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, with the game’s multiplayer maps based on the War’s southern front. The game’s setting sees players battling it out amongst “scenic peaks, rugged valleys and idyllic towns of northern Italy” in an experience that’s said to blend the “intensity of Verdun” with the “scale of Tannenberg.”

The game will launch with its own flagship mode called Offensive. This mode sees one team attempt to capture and hold defensive positions – which range from concrete bunkers to shallow fox holes – while the other team tries to stop them.

​Players will be able to take on different roles in order to “react to the battlefield,” including choosing an engineer loadout that has the ability to cut through barbed wire. Going by the trailer, it looks like certain areas of the maps can be drastically altered, such as the bridge we see getting destroyed.

Like Verdun and Tannenberg, Isonzo also boasts a meticulous attention to detail when it comes to historical accuracy, with weapons, uniforms, trench designs and “significant landmarks” all said to be authentically recreated in-game.

Isonzo is out sometime later this year and will be available on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4 and PC via Steam.
