Bala Games announced today that the FPS Verdun will be released on Xbox One the 8 March at a price not yet been specified. Verdun is a first-person multiplayer shooter set in a realistic reconstruction of the scenario of the first world war. The ruthless war in the trenches offers a unique battle experience, dragging you and your team in intense battles of attack and defense.

The game takes place on the Western Front between 1914 and 1918, in one of the bloodiest conflicts in world history. Developers were inspired by the infamous Battle of Verdun in 1916.

There are 4 distinct game modes: front lines , Attrition , deadly confrontation with rifle and defense of the platoon . There are also many historically accurate elements like realistic weapons of World War I, authentic uniforms, bloodshed and maps based on the real battlefields in France and Belgium.

How the front lines is unique due to its tactical complexity. In the trenches, recreated with the utmost in realism, it is hard to fight and, to catch them or defending them, there is a need for some cunning tactics. The Entente and Central Powers make every effort to gain control of the areas of the face. In a battle you are running towards the enemy trenches during an offensive action to gain territory, while in another you may find yourself defending the soil just picked-up by a powerful enemy counterattack.

Each player may choose to join one of the many types of team featured in the game, each of which has its own strategic role. Collaborating with your friends, you can gain experience which increases the power and versatility of your team. Gaining experience thanks to the fighting and moving up in rank, you can earn career points which you can use to unlock specializations, weapons and equipment.

Attrition mode, the Entente and Central powers are facing each other in a single battle. In each of the two parts is assigned a number that represents the amount of available men. When a player is killed and get back in the game, this number decreases by one. When either party reaches zero, its players no longer after being killed and who remains last with men WINS!

The deadly confrontation with rifle is a combat mode where players collide with each other in an electrifying skills challenge in which may only use rifles.
