Hello everyone!Hosted by the Directorate of Gallipoli Historic Site (Çanakkale Savaşları Gelibolu Tarihi Alan Başkanlığı), we organised a Gallipoli event at Seddülbahir Fortress, the very same fortress that played an important role in the landings at V Beach! Here, press and content creators from Türkiye and around the world were able to watch the Gallipoli Launch Trailer and play the game early.A small delegation of the BlackMill Games team went there and were heartily welcomed by the Directorate. Before the big night, we travelled to the ancient city of Troy, visited Anzac Cove and finally t

Hello everyone!Today, our favourite historian Dr Chris Kempshall is back to round up your Gallipoli history course with the other side of the equation: the perspective of the Ottoman Empire during WW1. But first, to get you in the right mood, listen to the Main Theme of Gallipoli: Gallipoli Marsi.With Gallipoli Marsi stuck in your head, let's get to the blog:In 1915, the Ottoman Empire faced an existential threat to its survival. The allied attack on the Dardanelles Straits and Gallipoli peninsula could, if unchecked, lead to the occupation of the Ottoman capital of Constantinople. In the end,

If you own any of the cosmetic DLC for Isonzo, you’ll know that those DLC were big packs containing a uniform for every class in the game, for two factions. For Gallipoli, we’re approaching it differently!The fact that supply lines on the Ottoman Fronts weren’t the most reliable meant many soldiers had to make do with the equipment available to them, instead of fighting in complete standardized uniforms. This however allows us to not only change how we approach customisation without breaking immersion, but cosmetic DLC as well. Instead of large packs containing six class-exclusive uniforms for

Hello everyone!We wanted to give you some historical background on the events depicted in Gallipoli, so we asked historian Chris Kempshall to help us explore the real-world context behind the campaign. In this first blog, we’ll be looking at the strategic thinking and circumstances that led the British and their allies to attempt the Dardanelles operation, and how those decisions ultimately shaped the Gallipoli landings of 1915. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ At the end of 1914, combat on the Western Front of the First World War had begun to enter a de

Hello everyone!Today we'd like to give you a little update for the Ctesiphon & Anzac Cove maps. We've last shown them not long after the initial announcement of Gallipoli, but they have not been gathering dust! While the general lay of the land has not been changed, both maps have received lighting work and changes to weather.While it may be hard to spot, we've also made balance changes to both maps based on the results from rigorous testing by our QA team and all of you participating in the Closed Playtests. Most of these changes are related to cover, either hard cover like sandbags or visual

Hello everyone!Last week, we announced the release date of Gallipoli to be May 21, 2026! We really hope you enjoyed that trailer. Today, we’d like to dive into some new mechanics you can expect to see in Gallipoli.If you didn't see the Release Date Trailer yet, watch it here:Gallipoli puts a strong emphasis on squad gameplay. Each squad is kitted out for a different purpose; one may be best for scouting, while another for capturing objectives or locking down an alleyway with suppressive fire. Nothing prevents you from going off to do your own thing, but staying with your squad and playing to y

The landings of the Gallipoli campaign were launched in the early morning on April 25th, 1915. The forces of the British Empire and France stormed the beaches at what they dubbed Anzac Cove and Cape Helles. The landings were a success, but a lot of lives were lost to achieve it. What followed was almost a year of fighting over the Gallipoli peninsula that ended in the Ottomans coming out victorious and maintaining control.The day of the landings is now remembered as Anzac Day, for the bravery and sacrifice of the Australia and New Zealand Army Corps at Anzac Cove specifically. Australia and Ne

We sat down in the weapons vault of the Royal Armouries museum in Leeds to discuss the weapons used on the Ottoman Fronts, and also got to fire a couple.

Hello everyone!Today we’re taking a look at how classes work in Gallipoli, as well as the classes you can expect to see!Gallipoli has a new class system, with each class having a perk and “Kits”, or subclasses, to choose from that give you various advantages and equipment options tailored to a specific role you’re looking to fill.Each class has two kits to pick from. A kit comes with a perk, equipment, a choice of a primary weapon and sometimes a choice of a secondary weapon as well. Based on everything you’ll be carrying around, each kit also has a set weight and ammo count.To illustrate the
