The history of warfare throughout the world is never quite as simple as popular culture makes it seem. A battlefield is an evolving thing, with local conditions and random happenstances often forcing infantry to adapt and decide on the fly, which has led to some exceptionally bizarre combat legends in the process.
As a hardcore FPS steeped in the real-life history and iconography of World War I, Tannenberg has not just the right, but in fact, the duty to replicate these occasional odd events as faithfully as possible.
This is exactly what the game is doing with its newest event, the Wolf Truce. According to an announcement on the series' X, formerly Twitter profile, from now until November 3, players in Tannenberg matches may occasionally find themselves beset by enormous packs of ravenous wolves, with both sides having no choice but to band together and fight them off before your regularly scheduled conflict can resume.
It’s a rather clever way to introduce a spontaneous horde mode without resorting to zombies, and into a game whose subject matter wouldn’t really facilitate that kind of gameplay. Plus, if everyone in a match participates, they get a shiny medal!
