Tannenberg

Eastern Front Warfare in World War I

Tannenberg transports players to the brutal Eastern Front of World War I, where 64-player battles rage across the forests, mountains, and snow-covered plains that defined this theater of war. Drawing inspiration from the historic Battle of Tannenberg in 1914, this first-person shooter delivers authentic Great War combat between the Russian Empire, Germany, and their allies across eight expansive battlefields.

Squad-Based Combat with Historical Accuracy

Seven distinct military units bring the Eastern Front to life, from Russian Frontovik and Cossack squads to the legendary Latvian Riflemen and Romanian infantry. Players can also fight for the Central Powers as Austro-Hungarian K.u.K. troops, German Infanterie, or Bulgarian rifle sections. Each faction features meticulously researched uniforms recreated down to the smallest details, while over 50 period-accurate weapons reflect the arsenal available to these forces during the conflict.

Maneuver Mode Captures Dynamic Battlefield Strategy

The signature Maneuver game mode reflects the fluid nature of Eastern Front warfare, where battle lines constantly shifted across vast territories. Strategic sectors scattered across large maps offer distinct tactical advantages, forcing teams to adapt their approach as objectives change. Success depends on coordinating with your four-man squad while leveraging each unit's specialized abilities to control key positions.

Realistic Battlefields from Galicia to Poland

Maps recreate actual locations from the Eastern Front, spanning the hilly forests of Galicia to Polish villages scarred by scorched earth tactics. Weather variants transform each battlefield, shifting from summer sun to harsh winter conditions that affected historical campaigns. The attention to geographical detail extends to realistic terrain layouts and period-appropriate props that ground players in the authentic atmosphere of 1914-1918.

AI Support Ensures Epic Battles Anytime

Full AI bot integration means the large-scale warfare never stops, allowing players to join 64-player battles regardless of server population. The bots maintain the tactical complexity of human opponents while ensuring that strategic sectors remain contested and squad-based gameplay stays intact. This feature keeps the Eastern Front alive with constant military action.

Part of the Authentic WWI Trilogy

Tannenberg joins Verdun and Isonzo as part of a comprehensive World War I series, each focusing on different theaters of the conflict. The same research methodology that brought accuracy to the Western Front in Verdun now illuminates the Eastern Front's unique character, from the weapons and uniforms to the tactical challenges that defined this often-overlooked theater of the Great War.
