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.

Steelrising: A Souls-Like Experience In... France!

“Steelrising is a game that might have slipped under the radar for many, but we’re highlighting it as an alternative adventure within the same genre for Dark Souls fans.”

Feel free to explore this lesser-known gem and discover a fresh gaming experience!

STEELRISING

The city burns and bleeds as it suffers the madness of King Louis XVI and his violent legions of automatons. Aegis, a mechanical masterpiece created by the engineer Vaucanson to be the queen's bodyguard, must save the French Revolution in this challenging action-RPG.

Challenging Combat Between Automatons

Up against the king's mechanical soldiers, deadly accuracy will be needed. String together dodges, parries, jumps and devastating attacks to fight your way through Paris. Every fight will test your nerve and requires excellent discipline, while the huge relentless machine bosses demand patience and skill.

Aegis: A Character With Extraordinary Skills

Define your own style and upgrade your abilities as you progress through the game. You can play as a ruthless warrior, a hard-hitting bodyguard, a deadly dancer or a virtuoso of the elemental arts. Take advantage of weapons and skills to approach each fight in your own unique way.

Revolutionary Paris Is Your Playground

Using carriages, grapples, secret passages, a detailed map, and other methods and tools you find along the way, explore a city experiencing its darkest days. Your grappling hook adds a new dimension to exploration and Paris' verticality. Combined with your dash ability, it will provide access to all the city's secrets across multiple levels you can explore over and over again.

Change The Course Of History

You are one of the main characters of an alternative history where Paris is being choked by a tyrant king. Allies and enemies with unclear motives will cross your path, such as Marie-Antoinette, Lafayette and Robespierre. It's up to you to cut a path through all the plotting and put an end to one man's madness so that the French Revolution succeeds.

Miraculous: Rise of the Sphinx

Special thanks to the GameMill team for providing us with this game. It's the perfect game to present on Halloween because it's like a cosplay holiday!

Headline: Be Strong...Be Brave...Be Miraculous!

Paris needs a hero! Once again, the city of lights is in trouble as it faces a new menace--the most threatening sentimonster ever created is about to take control! As you take on the personna's of the globally renowned superheroez Ladybug and Cat Noir, you'll need to unveil the diabolical plan hatched by archvillain Hawk Moth--and squash it! Immerse yourself into the magical world of Miraculous and level up your superpowers as you embark on your biggest journey yet!

Miraculous gives you the option to play 2 player local co-op, and when you aren't in battle you are able to explore the streets of Paris as Marinette and Adrien as you uncover the story behind their alter-egos.

This game is rated E10+ for everyone 10 and up, which fits. The gameplay is simple, but you're able to unlock various moves, boost health, agility, and even access alternate paths based on skills you've unlocked. I found that I was able to use certain areas in a stage to access certain platforms, but you have to truly unlock skills in order to access certain things.

To the target demographic, Miraculous: Rise of the Sphinx should be a pretty immersive experience they will enjoy. I found it frustrating to have as much dialogue as the game has, but if you're a fan of the Miraculous franchise it is part of the storyline that you love. It could have been an easier experience to tolerate if there were voiceovers, but its none existent beyond the cutscenes. 

Miraculous: Rise of the Sphinx is available now! In celebration of Halloween festivities, this gameplay is the perfect fit.

For me, I give this game 3 out of 5, but young fans may give it 5 out of 5.
