Just over a century ago, two of the world's mightiest militaries fought one of the bloodiest battles ever fought in Europe.
The Battle of Verdun cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of French and German soldiers, and it inspired the first-person shooter Verdun, widely recognized as one of the most horrifying war games ever. However, even in the grim trenches of northeastern France, there is room for some joy and Christmas cheer.
Developer BlackMill Games has brought the Christmas Truce to Verdun, continuing one of the most heartwarming traditions in the gaming industry
Christmas Comes to Verdun
The Christmas Truce is a recurring special event that has graced the joyless fields around Verdun, and it tries to give players a glimpse into the unique story of the 1914 Christmas Truce.
To access the mode in Verdun, select Play in the menu and pick Christmas Truce. This will transport you into a familiar battlefield transformed into a winter wonderland.
The fortifications and battle scars still dot the land, but it's hard not to smile when you see the fields covered in snow, and the guns are silent.
In keeping with the real events of 1914, the Christmas Truce mode...
