“It’s an exciting time with this acquisition, the Isonzo launch, and the opportunity to begin full focus on our new adventure with M2H,” adds Matt Hergaarden of M2H. “The fans of our games can expect the same dedication and passion that we have delivered the past ten years with Verdun and Tannenberg but elevated to new heights with Isonzo and this partnership.” WW1 Games Series will undoubtedly benefit from Focus’s track record in FPS genre,” says Jos Hoebe, CEO of BlackMill Games. “I’m proud and excited for the upcoming launch of Isonzo and by teaming up with Focus Entertainment, which is a larger and more experienced partner and will help the series to reach its full potential. “We’re looking forward to working with Jos and his team and to continue delivering new unique experiences.” The studio has already shown strong DNA and identity and has proven to be an expert on delivering immersive, authentic, and realistic multiplayer FPS experiences with its WW1 Game Series – one of the references of First World War shooters.” declares Christophe Nobileau, CEO of Focus Entertainment. “This acquisition constitutes a great addition to Focus Entertainment’s portfolio and its federation of talents. Players will experience mountain warfare during the First World War as Italy clashes with the Austro-Hungarian Empire! A new Offensive game mode with multi-map battles offers a novel experience for fresh recruits and returning veterans! WW1 FPS Isonzo is the third game in WW1 Game Series, this time set on the Italian Front. The studio will proceed solely as BlackMill Games B.V.īased in the Netherlands and composed of 15 passionate creators, WW1 Game Series became the 6th development studio to join the Focus group. Jos Hoebe (BlackMill Games), WW1 Game Series’ Founder and Creative Director, will own the remaining 33,33% stake and continue running the studio. Hovewer, a recent find of ampoules with calcium hypochlorite at the village of Kred, now exhibited at the Kobarid WWI Museum, leads to the conclusion that the Italian IVth army's command, located in Kred, considered decontamination measures against Yperite necessary.BlackMill Games and FOCUS ENTERTAINMENT are delighted to announce the agreement to acquire M2H’s majority stake in WW1 Game Series B.V. The possibility of a chemical attack was underestimated by the Italian high command as shown by the ineffective gas-masks issued to the troops. The joint German and Austro-Hungarian forces waged a massive gas-attack with dichloroarsine and phosgene, which was later disclosed as the horrifying overture to the general disordered retreat of the Italian troops to Piave. The ensuing trench-warfare during the eleven Isonzo battles ended with the 12th battle known as the Kobarid/Karfeit/Caporetto break-thru in October 1917. In exchange for the opening of this front, the Kingdom of Italy would be granted large tracts of territory in the wesster provinces of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and along the Adriatic coast. The Isonzo front/Soška fronta was opened on by the Kingdom of Italy according to a secret London Treaty. The contents of the unlabelled ampoules were identified as calcium hypochlorite, a decontaminant for mustard gas (Yperite). Sources and methods: Analysis of ampoules from the Kobarid Museum using pharmacopoeial methods. To identify the contents of ampoules stored items at the WW I Kobarid Museum, Slovenia.
