Tannenberg Confirms The WW1 FPS Coming to Console

Tannenberg COming to Console

Tannenberg’s team confirmed today that their WW1 FPS title is on the way both Xbox One and Playstation 4 this winter. Tannenberg is the second entry in their WW1 Game Series, following their Western Front shooter, Verdun. They strive to keep the accuracy of weapons, uniforms in environments in this, as they did with Verdun. The gameplay in Tannenberg is different to Verdun to reflect the different nature of warfare in the East. Instead of attacking and defending trench lines, you will face more open maps with a choice of sectors to attack, each offering a strategic benefit.

Before Tannenberg arrives on consoles, there will be a huge update to Verdun on Xbox One and PlayStation 4, bringing all the new squads, maps, bots and other improvements from the PC version of the game to console players.

Pandemic Express Brings Zombie Escape Battle Royale to Life

Pandemic Express has been in development for two years, and now tinyBuild is proud to bring it to life. The premise is simple enough: 30 survivors spawn in a closed train station. One turns into a zombie at random, and the gates open wide. The survivors need to get to the train, looting along the way. Zombies can stop the train by keeping the survivors away from it, killing and infecting anyone they get their hands on.

It was inspired by “Zombie Escape” mods found in Counter-Strike, Halo, and others. It’s if Left 4 Dead’s swarms were actual human players who were initially on the survivors team. There’s also a launch promo going on for the game. It’s 14.99 with a 34% launch discount, and if you own a previous tinyBuild game, you receive an additional 10% off. If that weren’t enough, everyone who buys it in the first three days gets an extra copy for a friend.
