Gamers, get ready to storm the peaks. Isonzo just launched its fourth free Piana expansion, giving soldiers in-game a shot at dominating Monte Piana. Now available on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Mac, this expansion is more than just a map; it’s a history lesson rolled into a gaming experience.
The Piana Expansion: What’s In It?
Following the free Caporetto expansion, Piana rolls out as another free update across all major platforms including Steam, PlayStation 5 & 4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, and the Epic Games Store. Feelin’ the cold? Good news: the Glacial Units Pack featuring chilly weather gear for Italian and Austro-Hungarian troops is now wishlist-ready.
Special Sale Alert: Up to 55% off on WW1 Game Series
Don’t sleep on this, squad. Throughout the week, Isonzo and other games in the WW1 Game Series are part of a Focus Entertainment sale. Expect to see price slashes from 40% to 55% on various editions. Also in the bargain bin? DLCs like the Royal, Elite, Alpine, Reserve, and Veteran Units Packs at 30% off, plus the Expedition Units Pack getting a cool 10% off.
Monte Piana: The History and the Hype
Monte Piana, the high-altitude battlefield, was historically a stalemate between Italian and Austro-Hungarian forces. The in-game battle picks up after a fierce Austro-Hungarian push, setting the stage for an Italian counterattack. Can you rewrite history? The new map challenges players to do just that, offering a shot at a decisive Italian or Austro-Hungarian victory.
Upcoming Cosmetic Update: Glacial Units Pack
This winter, players can also wishlist the Glacial Units Pack on Steam, Epic Games, and Xbox, with a PlayStation release also in the pipeline. The pack will include sets of improvised uniforms for all classes, and a range of accessories like warm headgear, mustaches, and beards. Though they won’t affect gameplay, they’ll keep your character lookin’ fresh in the frosty Alps.
Special Isonzo Event: Keep Your Snow Gear Ready
Just like Verdun has its Christmas Truce, Isonzo is gearing up for its own special event. The devs are keeping details hush-hush for now, but one thing is certain: you’re gonna need that Glacial Units Pack to blend in with the wintery terrain.
WW1 Game Series: A Quick Rewind
For the uninitiated, Isonzo is the third title in the WW1 Game Series by BlackMill Games. Kicking off with Verdun’s trench warfare, followed by Tannenberg’s Eastern Front action, Isonzo elevates the conflict to the Alps. The series as a whole has sold over 2 million copies, proving WW1 as a gripping context for FPS gaming.
In the Dev’s Words: Isonzo’s Journey
Jos Hoebe, the Creative Director and founder of BlackMill Games, shares the excitement around Isonzo’s journey over the past year. The team is far from done bringing WW1 history to gamers, and the Piana update is just another feather in their cap.
So, there you have it, gamers. New maps, new gear, and a slice of history to dive into. Time to see if you can alter the course of WW1 in Isonzo’s latest Piana expansion. Game on!
