Developers M2H and BlackMill Games, announce a summer release and major overhaul of their promising World War 1 (WW1) shooter game; Verdun, now available for PC, Mac and Linux through Steam Early Access.
Update
A major update has been made to the game Verdun, after receiving valuable player feedback.
The game has a fancy new graphical user interface which will vastly improve the player’s experience, especially the ability to play together in a squad has been made more prominent. Another improvement is the addition of distinctive German and French voices, which greatly strengthens the World War 1 atmosphere of the game.
Most exciting for players will be the introduction of a whole new map, inspired by the battle of Ypres; Flanders! Probably the muddiest battlefield you’ve ever fought in and a real challenge due to its scale. Also, some enhancements are made on the Vosges map and the balancing of the weapons. And lastly but not least, Verdun integrated the Steam Trade Card feature for a full Steam experience. Players can earn virtual cards in Verdun which can be turned into game badges and tradable Steam community items.
As a sneak peek for the next update; we’re expecting more authentic World War 1 characters…

With one more update coming up, Blackmill Games and M2H have decided on a summer release, coinciding with the World War 1 centenary that is coming up. Verdun has been in Steam Early Access then for almost a year which has been a great opportunity to get the final touch done.
