Tannenberg

Tannenberg is a first-person shooter set on the Eastern Front of World War I. Up to 64 players fight for control of battlefield sectors, each offering a strategic advantage, across large maps inspired by real locations and the 1914 Battle of Tannenberg. You choose which sectors to attack and defend as objectives and battle lines shift.

Squads and combat

You fight in a four-person squad, working together and using your distinctive skills to survive. Choose among seven squads from the Russian Empire, Germany and their allies: Russian Frontovik, Cossack, Latvian Riflemen and Roumanian infantry units, or the Austro-Hungarian K.u.K., German Infanterie and Bulgarian rifle section. The game includes more than 50 weapons, authentically modelled equipment and uniforms, artillery barrages, poison gas, heavy machine guns, rifles and close combat. Its battles also feature horrendous gore.

Game modes

Maneuver is a 64-player mode in which teams capture strategic sectors across large, open maps. The objectives and front lines shift during battle, giving players freedom to choose where to attack and defend. AI bots support the mode, so battles can be played at any time. Tannenberg also includes other game modes.

Maps and setting

Eight large maps span the Eastern Front’s lakes, forests, mountains and snowy plains, with weather variants ranging from snow to summer sun. Their terrain and props draw on real locations, including the hilly forests of Galicia and Polish villages affected by scorched-earth tactics. The game recreates the setting through historically researched uniforms, weapons and battlefield details.
