FTS: WW1 FPS Isonzo’s Free “Montello” Expansion Releases Today (PC, PS, Xbox)

WW1 FPS Isonzo Introduces Free “Montello” Expansion Today Alongside New Cosmetic DLC!

PARIS -- Sept. 5, 2024 -- BlackMill Games, the studio behind the WW1 Game Series, is proud to announce that more content arrives today in Isonzo, the latest entry in the series taking place on the Italian Front. Wage battles on a new, free map set in the burning woodlands of Montello Hill, master new weapons and outfit your character with new premium DLC.

Fight amidst fire in the new Montello map

The free “Montello” update introduces an exciting new map for players, inspired by the Second Battle of the Piave River, which occurred in June 1918. Also known as the Battle of the Solstice, this event saw Austro-Hungarian and Italian forces clash for control of Montello Hill and the surrounding region. As the last major Austro-Hungarian offensive on the Italian Front during WW1, it holds a key place in the conflict's history, now brought to life in Isonzo.

Fight across shelled farms, burning woodlands, ruined villages and narrow trenches as you advance on this new battlefield, making strategic decisions with your team along the way. To help you in this endeavor, two new weapons have been made available for Austro-Hungarian soldiers: the infamous Mosin Nagant rifle – available in-game as the M.91 Russisches Repetier-Gewehr – and the Schwerhandgranate fragmentation grenade.

For victory, whatever the cost may be!

In addition to this new expansion, players can also purchase a new premium DLC: the “Shellshocked Units Pack.” Inspired by the exhausting and unforgiving nature of war, it features injured and weary Italian and Austro-Hungarian troops not typically depicted on propaganda posters. From torn clothing and improvised equipment to stripped down uniforms and makeshift head accessories, soldiers can now convey the true cost of the Great War.

Find the perfect edition for you

Today also marks the release of the First Wave Edition of Isonzo, a new edition of the game with over 140 cosmetic items featured in the previously released First Wave of DLC: “Elite Units,” “Veteran Units,” “Reserve Units,” and “Alpine Units.” It’s the perfect way to get into Isonzo! For the complete Isonzo experience, the Ultimate Edition, gathering all paid DLC — hundreds of items in total —  is also available on PC and consoles.

Isonzo and the free “Montello” expansion are now available on Steam, PlayStation 5 & 4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One with Xbox Game Pass, and the Epic Games Store. Get the game, its various editions and DLCs up to 67% off for a limited time.

FTS: WWI FPS “Isonzo” Gets New Game Mode & DLC Today (PC, PS, Xbox)

WWI FPS Isonzo Climbs Even Greater Heights Today with Limited-Time Ascent Mode, Free Update & New DLC

PARIS – April 10, 2024 – BlackMill Games, the studio behind the WWI Game Series, today releases even more content for Isonzo, the authentic World War I FPS set on the Italian front. Climb to victory with the unique, limited-time Ascent game mode, a free update improving gameplay on consoles, and new DLC. Today also marks the release of Isonzo’s Ultimate Edition on PC, gathering all paid DLC in one bundle (coming soon to consoles).

Climb to victory with a new free mode: Ascent

Ascent is the first temporary mode for Isonzo and brings new climbing-based gameplay that has never been experienced in first-person shooters. Scale a sheer mountainside with only a pickaxe as bullets and rocks fly past in what might be the most daring way to assault an enemy position seen during the war! During each Ascent match, 32 players must battle it out to either hold their position on the mountain or conquer it. Earn your special event medal upon completion before it ends!

“As with our previous special events for the WW1 Game Series, such as the Verdun Christmas Truce event, Ascent stays true to our tradition of offering players a brand-new way to experience the conflicts of WWI, this time in the most extreme heights of the Italian Alps,” said BlackMill Games Founder Jos Hoebe.

Ascent is available until April 24 on Steam, PlayStation 5 & 4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, and the Epic Games Store.

Elevating Isonzo to higher levels on consoles

The console version of Isonzo has received a massive update with a range of quality-of-life improvements. Additionally, to enhance cross-platform and cross-gen compatibility in the console environment, voice chat has been added, meaning that soldiers on PlayStation and Xbox can now communicate by voice for the first time in the series!

Gear up for altitude!

When ascending to such heights in these conditions, it is important to gear up properly. For this exact reason, the "Altitude Units Pack" is being released alongside Ascent. This pack contains all kinds of clothing suitable for cold alpine warfare: fur-lined coats, fitting jackets, warm boots and even ski uniforms. There are also new headgear variants, mustaches, goggles, pipes and faces for both Italian and Austro-Hungarian soldiers.

Isonzo, the “Altitude Units Pack” DLC, and the game’s free update are now available on Steam, PlayStation 5 & 4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, and the Epic Games Store. The Ultimate Edition is available on Steam and the Epic Games Store now and will come to consoles at a later date. Get the game and its various DLC sets at up to 67% off for a limited time, and enjoy the Ascent mode for free until April 24!
