Get ready to storm the trenches — Over The Top: WWI, the ambitious 100-versus-100 multiplayer shooter set in the brutal battlefields of the First World War, is officially launching on Steam on March 6, 2026.
Developed by Flying Squirrel Entertainment and published by GG Publishing, Over The Top: WWI blends large-scale combat, destructible environments, and historically inspired warfare to create one of the most chaotic and immersive WWI shooters yet.
What to Expect on March 6
Over The Top: WWI aims to deliver intense multiplayer mayhem with matches supporting up to 200 combatants, whether human players or bots. Battles unfold across sprawling maps inspired by the Western Front, complete with trenches, artillery, tanks, and aircraft that bring iconic elements of the Great War to life.
Players can choose from a variety of classes — from frontline riflemen to engineers and officers — each with unique abilities and strategic roles. The game’s fully destructible terrain and dynamic weather systems further deepen battlefield tactics, allowing squads to alter the environment through fortifications, craters, and collapsing cover.
Another standout feature is the map editor, which invites players to design and share custom battlefields via Steam Workshop. Community-hosted servers, adjustable rulesets, and mod-friendly tools expand replayability and support long-term engagement.
A New Era of World War I Shooters?
While WWI shooters have seen renewed interest in recent years, Over The Top: WWI sets itself apart by combining massive team sizes with period-accurate weaponry and vehicles. From bolt-action rifles and machine guns to armored tanks and artillery barrages, the arsenal evokes a gritty, visceral feel of early 20th-century warfare.
Gamers who joined previous public playtests have already praised the game’s dynamic battlefields and tactical depth, noting that trench building and destructible landscapes add a layer of strategic choice not always seen in shooters set in this era.
Over The Top: WWI will be available on Steam for PC starting March 6. Players can add it to their wishlist now ahead of launch.
