Isonzo - The WW1 FPS gets even bigger with the time-limited Ascent mode, a free update & new DLC!

BlackMill Games, the studio behind the WW1 Game Series, today releases more content for Isonzo, the latest addition to the series taking place on the Italian Front. Climb to victory with the unique free, time-limited game mode Ascent, a free update and a new DLC. Today also marks the release of the Ultimate Edition on PC, gathering all paid DLC in one edition, soon available on consoles.


Climb to victory with the free mode: Ascent

 
Ascent is the first temporary, exclusive mode for Isonzo and brings a new climbing-based gameplay that has never been experienced in first-person shooters. Climb a sheer mountainside with only a pickaxe in what might be the most daring way to assault an enemy position seen during the war, as bullets and rocks fly past! During an Ascent match, 32 players must battle it out to either hold their position on the mountain or risk their lives to conquer it. Earn your special event medal upon completion before it ends!
 
As with our previous special events for the WW1 Game Series, such as the Verdun Christmas Truce event, Ascent stays true to our tradition of offering players a brand-new way to experience the conflicts of WWI, this time in the most extreme heights of the Italian Alps”, BlackMill Games Founder Jos Hoebe says.
 
Ascent is available until April 24th on Steam, PlayStation 5 & 4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One and the Epic Games Store.

 
Elevating Isonzo to higher levels on consoles
 
The console version of Isonzo has received a massive update bringing general quality of life improvements. Additionally, to enhance cross-platform and cross-gen compatibility in the console environment, voice chat has been added, meaning that soldiers on PlayStation and Xbox can now communicate by voice for the first time in the series! 
 
Gear up for altitude!
 
When ascending to such heights in these conditions, it is important to gear up properly. For this exact reason, the Altitude Units Pack is being released alongside Ascent. This pack contains all kinds of clothing suitable for cold alpine warfare: fur-lined coats, fitting jackets, warm boots and even ski uniforms. There will also be new headgear variants, mustaches, goggles, pipes and faces for both Italian and Austro-Hungarian soldiers.
 
Isonzo, the Altitude DLC, and the free update are now available on Steam, PlayStation 5 & 4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One and the Epic Games Store. The Ultimate Edition is available on Steam and coming to consoles on a later date. Get the game, editions and DLCs up to 67% off for a limited time and enjoy the Ascent mode for free until April 24.
