Free to grab: Verdun and Summer Sale discounts at EPIC Game Store

Verdun was developed by M2H and Blackmill Games and is supported by PCs and Macs. The game offers close-quarters battles with bayonets as well as requires good aim with bolt action rifles. It’s a tactical squad-based multiplayer FPS with 15 distinctive squad types representing soldiers from 5+ countries. Each class offers a distinct weapon and equipment

The game takes place on the Western Front between 1914 and 1918, in one of the bloodiest conflicts in world history – inspired by the infamous Battle of Verdun in 1916. Verdun is the first multiplayer FPS set in a realistic World War One setting, the game which started the WW1 Game series. The vicious close quarters nature of trench warfare means that skill with a bayonet can be as vital as good aim with a rifle.

In terms of requirements, the game requires at least an Intel Core i5-2500K or AMD Phenom II X4 940 CPU. Recommended specs require 8GB of RAM and 12GB of storage. The GPU requirements are rather low, GeForce GTX 950M or Radeon HD 7750 are within the minimum requirements. Verdun is the first installment in the series, the developer has since then released a game called Tannenberg (Eastern Front) and announced Isonzo (Italian front), which has not been released yet. Additionally, Epic Games is giving away a free copy of Defense Grid: The Awakening, which is a tower defense game that was originally released in 2008. This game was already offered for free on EGS, so it is another chance to get a copy in case you haven’t already.
