Here is an overview of the game, via Blackmill Games:
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.

Experience the varied battlefields of the front, including the Gallipoli and Mesopotamia campaigns.

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!
