From today (December 22nd) until January 5th, players can re-enact the famous Christmas Truce that took place during the First World War. During this timed event, everyone can call a truce and celebrate the festivities with soldiers from all sides - stroll through the snowy winter map, take part in a snowball fight or join a friendly football (soccer) match. Huddle up by a bonfire and listen to some Christmas carols, or send a Christmas card to friends and family.
During the Christmas Truce, Verdun is available on Steam with a discount of 70%. The series’ latest game Isonzo is available with a discount of 20%. Isonzo was released in September and received a free expansion earlier this month.
Verdun’s special event is based on the historic Christmas Truce that took place during World War 1 in 1914. This marked the first Christmas that soldiers would experience at the start of one of the most destructive wars to ever take place. The fighting had died down following the stalemate of the First Battle of Ypres, and soldiers from both sides of the fight decided to lay down their weapons for a temporary truce and instead celebrate Christmas together.
