Tannenberg is the sequel to Verdun, the popular World War One squad-based online shooter, and it's out now on open beta on Steam Early Access from developer Blackmill Games. We utterly loved Verdun, and Tannenberg looks even better. It focuses on the Eastern Front between Russia and Germany, and it boasts support for 64-player matches. All the details and the launch trailer are below.
