Gallipoli launches May 21 [Update: Delayed]
World War I-themed first-person shooter dated.
Gallipoli, the latest entry in the WWI first-person shooter game series following Isonzo, Tannenberg, and Verdun, will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store on May 21, developer Blackmill Games announced.
Update 05/12/26: BlackMill Games has delayed Gallipoli to an unannounced date. Here is the full statement:
In the final stages before the launch of Gallipoli, we ran into a critical issue that interferes with the game launching on PC and consoles [on] May 21.
As we want everyone’s experience of Gallipoli to be the best it can be on day 1, and to respect the work and commitment our team put into the game these past years, we concluded that we need a bit more time to solve the issue. So unfortunately, we had to make the decision to delay the release of Gallipoli.
We will announce a new release date once the game is ready, but we expect to launch Gallipoli sometime this summer.
Thank you for your patience, and we’re really excited to be back with good news soon!

About
What began on mainland Europe, was never likely to end there… Prepare for relentless World War I beach landings and desert warfare across the Middle Eastern Front in Gallipoli!
Faced with the deadlocked trenches of the Western Front, the Triple Entente looked for new pathways to victory. What was thought to be a quick expeditionary campaign to remove a German ally from the war, ended up in a disastrous four-year campaign: the Ottoman Empire wasn’t going down without a fight.
Gallipoli marks the fourth entry in the WWI game series, further broadening its authentic and realistic FPS combat experience to give you the deepest dive into the Middle Eastern Front of World War I yet.
Key Features
- Authentic World War I Battles – Fight through history with accurate maps, weapons, music and uniforms as a soldier of the British or Ottoman Empire.
- Varied Middle Eastern Theater – Engage in expeditionary warfare across coastal dunes, dry deserts, urban areas, and more.
- Realistic Gameplay – Get to grips with highly detailed weaponry and equipment and survive through suppressive fire and dust.
- Squad-Based Multiplayer First-Person Shooter – Join a squad as one of many classes with distinct specializations and work as a team across PC and Consoles with cross-play.
- Never Fight Alone – AI bots will join the fight over the future of the Middle Eastern Front in public matches, and optionally in custom matches.
Fight on Unforgiving Battlefields
Experience the varied battlefields of the front, including the Gallipoli and Mesopotamia campaigns. Land on the beaches of Gallipoli with the ANZACs to seize the Dardanelles, fight in the streets of war-torn towns to defend Ottoman-controlled soil, and charge to victory across no man’s land under the scorching sun.
Engage in Squad-Based Combat
Work together as a squad to gain an edge over your opponents in player-versus-player combat. Pick from many different classes, each with an essential role on the battlefield. Take the lead as an Officer, lay down suppressive fire as a Light Machine Gunner, or keep your squad in the fight as a Stretcher Bearer!
Weighty weapon handling and methodical reloads keep the engagements grounded, affected by your mental state and familiarity with each weapon. Explore the authentic arsenals of the British and Ottoman empires.
Soon, it’s up to you to join the expeditionary campaigns of the Middle Eastern Front and experience the brutal combat of Gallipoli!
Join the Other Fronts of World War I
Gallipoli is the newest sequel in the WWI Game Series, which takes you along all major fronts of the Great War. Dive into the trenches along the Western Front in Verdun, charge for key sectors of the Eastern Front in Tannenberg, or scale the mountains of the Alpine Front in Isonzo!
