Blackmill Games and M2H revealed the release date of Isonzo, the upcoming FPS set in the trenches of World War I‘s Italian front.
The game will release on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One on September 13.
The game comes from the developers of popular WWI games Verdun and Tannenberg, and this time it carries the player to a very interesting but not as well-known front, the trench warfare across the Alps where Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire fought in often prohibitive conditions.
