Gallipoli Release Date Guide

Gallipoli, the Ottoman Fronts entry in BlackMill Games’ WW1 Game Series, is scheduled to release on August 20, 2026 on PC and current-generation consoles. This page collects the confirmed schedule, the earlier May plan, storefront list, crossplay promise, and the pricing signal press reported alongside the rebooked date. For systems changes versus the previous Alpine title, continue to what’s new versus Isonzo.

Confirmed launch date

BlackMill has publicly locked Gallipoli for August 20, 2026. The Steam store page lists the same planned unlock date, and the official series site promotes the August launch while pointing players to wishlist buttons on Steam, Epic, PlayStation, and Xbox. Treat August 20 as the working day-one target unless BlackMill posts a further change.

That date matters because Gallipoli is a full multiplayer launch, not a single-player drip. Day-one expectations include 25v25 objective battles, ten historical classes, authentic British and Ottoman arsenals, and bots helping fill public matches. If you are planning a squad night, set reminders for the storefronts your friends actually use, then keep this wiki open for maps and class primers.

Gallipoli Release Date Reveal Trailer

Why the May date moved

Gallipoli was previously announced for May 21, 2026. After that reveal, BlackMill communicated a delay tied to a critical technical issue and said the team needed more time for final improvements so the game would be ready for players on day one. The August 20 announcement is the rebooked target that followed that delay window.

When you watch older trailers or social posts, check the upload context. Some release-date films still carry delay notices in their descriptions because they were published against the May plan. The Updates Hub is the place to keep the chronology straight: May reveal, delay, then August lock-in.

Platforms and crossplay

At launch, Gallipoli is listed for:

• PC via Steam
• PC via Epic Games Store
• PC via Microsoft Store
• PlayStation 5
• Xbox Series X|S

Full crossplay between PC and consoles is part of the launch messaging. That is a meaningful step for a series that already lives on multiple platforms: friends should be able to queue together without splitting the community into dead regional silos. Exact party UI and storefront invite quirks can still vary by platform, so pair this page with Getting Started once launch menus are live.

Price and launch discount signal

Press coverage tied to the August date also reported a launch discount that brings the price to about $29.99 / €29.99 / £24.99 with a stated 25% launch discount on the covered platforms. Treat regional storefront taxes, edition bundles, and any time-limited Steam packages as store-page truths at checkout. Cosmetics packs already appear as separate Steam content rows, so budget for the base game first unless a bundle is clearly cheaper for you.

What the release trailer emphasizes

The official release-date reveal trailer is embedded above. Across the delay-and-rebook messaging, BlackMill leaned on player feedback themes: weightier gun audio, movement and gunplay polish, strategic teamplay, new roles, and crossplay. Those talking points are useful orientation, but they are not a substitute for the deeper systems write-up on what’s new or the map primers under the Maps Hub.

If you are deciding whether Gallipoli is “just Isonzo with sand,” the short answer is no. The Ottoman Fronts setting changes terrain language—beaches, ravines, desert approaches, and urban siege streets—while the squad and support-role work aims to make teamwork less optional. Preview outlets at Gamescom and PAX repeatedly returned to those points; we synthesize that caution-labeled coverage on the preview review page.

Pre-launch checklist

1. Wishlist or pre-order on the storefront your friends use.
2. Confirm your PC can clear the Steam-listed system requirements.
3. Read maps overview so Anzac Cove and Kut Al Amara are not blank names on day one.
4. Skim the Players Hub for class roles before the tier list debates start.
5. Keep the Guides Hub bookmarked for controls and objective explainers.

Gallipoli remains upcoming until the August unlock. If BlackMill posts a last-minute time zone note or storefront staggered unlock, update this page from the official announcement rather than from rumor threads.
