Isonzo Offical Boxart Release Date: September 13, 2022 Developer: BlackMill Games Publisher: M2H Platforms: PC Linux PlayStation 4 PlayStation 5 Xbox One Xbox Series X Genre: First-Person Shooter

Isonzo is the third entry of the WWI Game Series, taking the setting to the Alpines Front and is named after the twelve Battles of the Isonzo River from 1915 to 1918 in northern Italy. At that time, Austria-Hungary's troops fought bloody battles against Italy's soldiers in various areas in the Alps from the Swiss border to the shores of the Adriatic. A good 500,000 people lost their lives in the process.

It is the only man-portable fully automatic usable by the Italians. It can be fired from both barrels when mounted on its bipod, or hipfired from a single barrel. The reload animation for the Villar Perosa is incorrect; the player does not press the magazine release catches, instead just yanking the magazines out of the feeds, and the cocking pawls both retract together instead of individually.
