Covering the video games industry since 2017, with experience in news, articles, lists, and reviews (and I blame The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask for that).

If you are a fan of RPGs and want a third-person version: Tayná Garcia is a Brazilian journalist (but you can call her Tay) who ended up working with video games after finishing Zelda: Majora's Mask when she was a kid. With more than eight years of experience in the segment, she has been an assistant editor at Jovem Nerd in the past and is currently a contributor at DualShockers and a writer for gaming magazines for Editora Europa. Oh, and she may like Hideo Kojima a bit too much.

If you paid attention in history class, you know that the Gallipoli Campaign was one of Winston Churchill's most infamous tactical failures during World War I. Now, that brutal conflict is about to become your next digital battleground.

From mysterious origins to iconic returns, 2026 has more in store than "just" GTA VI.

Honoring Anzac Day with a Release Date

To commemorate the upcoming release and the history behind the game, a new trailer has been released ahead of Anzac Day (April 25), which is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand, marking the 111th anniversary of the Gallipoli landings, honoring all those who have served in times of peace and war.

The trailer offers intense glimpses of gameplay as soldiers land on the grueling beaches of Anzac Cove, and you can check it out below:

“We’re beyond excited to announce that Gallipoli is releasing in just a month, on May 21st! To commemorate Anzac Day, we’ve dedicated the Release Date Trailer of Gallipoli to the Landing at Anzac Cove and every life lost,” the developers shared on X (formerly Twitter).

WW1: Gallipoli shifts the focus to the Middle Eastern Front of the Great War, allowing players to fight as either the Ottoman forces or the British Empire. Following in the footsteps of its predecessors (Verdun, Tannenberg, and Isonzo), the game aims for historical authenticity.

According to BlackMill Games in previous declarations, the intention is to “go deeper,” offering a precise and complete portrayal of the conflict. Players can expect tactical, realistic gameplay across diverse environments, including beach landings, ruined cities, and blinding sandstorms as they fight to hold strategic desert terrain.

WWI: Gallipoli will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. In the meantime, you can pick up Verdun and Isonzo at a deep discount until Saturday.
