PARIS — Sept. 5, 2024 — BlackMill Games, the studio behind the WW1 Game Series, is proud to announce that more content arrives today in Isonzo, the latest entry in the series taking place on the Italian Front. Wage battles on a new, free map set in the burning woodlands of Montello Hill, master new weapons and outfit your character with new premium DLC.

Fight amidst fire in the new Montello map

The free “Montello” update introduces an exciting new map for players, inspired by the Second Battle of the Piave River, which occurred in June 1918. Also known as the Battle of the Solstice, this event saw Austro-Hungarian and Italian forces clash for control of Montello Hill and the surrounding region. As the last major Austro-Hungarian offensive on the Italian Front during WW1, it holds a key place in the conflict’s history, now brought to life in Isonzo.

Fight across shelled farms, burning woodlands, ruined villages and narrow trenches as you advance on this new battlefield, making strategic decisions with your team along the way. To help you in this endeavor, two new weapons have been made available for Austro-Hungarian soldiers: the infamous Mosin Nagant rifle – available in-game as the M.91 Russisches Repetier-Gewehr – and the Schwerhandgranate fragmentation grenade.

For victory, whatever the cost may be!

In addition to this new expansion, players can also purchase a new premium DLC: the “Shellshocked Units Pack.” Inspired by the exhausting and unforgiving nature of war, it features injured and weary Italian and Austro-Hungarian troops not typically depicted on propaganda posters. From torn clothing and improvised equipment to stripped down uniforms and makeshift head accessories, soldiers can now convey the true cost of the Great War.

Find the perfect edition for you

Today also marks the release of the First Wave Edition of Isonzo, a new edition of the game with over 140 cosmetic items featured in the previously released First Wave of DLC: “Elite Units,” “Veteran Units,” “Reserve Units,” and “Alpine Units.” It’s the perfect way to get into Isonzo! For the complete Isonzo experience, the Ultimate Edition, gathering all paid DLC — hundreds of items in total —  is also available on PC and consoles.

Isonzo and the free “Montello” expansion are now available on Steam, PlayStation 5 & 4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One with Xbox Game Pass, and the Epic Games Store. Get the game, its various editions and DLCs up to 67% off for a limited time.

Enjoy a greener side of life with the Melvor Active activation alongside Green Game Jam 2024 this September

Thursday, 5th September 2024, Cambridge, UK. Jagex and Games by Malcs are thrilled to announce that cosy incremental game Melvor Idle will be joining the lineup for the 5th Edition of Green Game Jam, a flagship initiative organised by the Playing for the Planet Alliance to promote action-led environmental changes.

Melvor Idle is a RuneScape-inspired idle/incremental game with feature-rich mechanics and a heightened player experience at the centre. In celebration of Green Game Jam 2024, Melvor Idle will commemorate the event with Melvor Active, a real-world activity that highlights three specific skills to encourage positive change and more sustainable lifelong habits for all players which launched on Monday 9th September. 

Carve out a more sustainable life with three key themes: Food, Waste, and Restoration. These tie-in to Melvor Idle’s in-game skills in Farming, Cooking, and Crafting. Each week from September 9th to September 30th, one of these skills will be highlighted to encourage Melvor Idle fans to engage with more positive habits that benefit living more sustainably in real life. 

Harvest scraps of food for composting, collect seeds from cooking to regrow produce, and try new recipes inspired by those in Melvor Idle, using crafting to create items and recycle old materials into something new. Research has shown that small, incremental changes motivate people to continue to do more when it comes to climate action. Melvor Idle will lean into this learning by using a continuous cycle and encourage participants to make small alterations that lead to real change. 

Melvor Active will feature in Melvor Idle alongside Green Game Jam 2024 from September 9th to September 30th. Players are encouraged to share their participation on social media, tagging #GreenGameJam and using a series of themed stickers to decorate their photos.

Melvor Idle is available now on Steam, iOS and Android. For more information, visit jagex.com.

The Playing for the Planet Alliance is a membership-based initiative that supports the video games industry to reduce its environmental impact. Founded in 2019 at the UN Climate Action Summit in New York, the initiative is facilitated with the support of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).

There are currently 50 members of the Alliance. In joining, these companies make specific and measurable commitments that range from committing to net-zero carbon emissions in line with the Paris Agreement, to integrating green messaging into their games.

The initiative is designed to help those active in the games industry to start their sustainability journey and to level up those already on it.

Green Game Jam

The Green Game Jam is an annual challenge for studios with live games and existing audiences to build ‘green activations’ that engage their players on particular environmental topics. Green activations are new features implemented either in the game or through the ‘metagame’ space, such as social channels or in-person events. They can include new modes, maps, themed events, storylines and other creative ways to make players aware of environmental topics. 

The goal of the Green Game Jam is to harness the reach and cultural power of video games to engage people all over the world on these issues. Focusing our efforts each year on a dedicated environmental theme, we show our ever-growing participant list that the mission of education, awareness and mobilization for the environment can go hand in hand with making great games.
