Beyond The Wire is a large scale multiplayer first-person shooter immersing players in the frantic and bloody Western Front of the Great War.

The Western Front is brought to life in all of its shocking and bloody realism, with up to In battles with up to 100 real-world combatants, players will have to contend with large open maps and tight claustrophobic trenches utilizing both period-appropriate guns and a more tactical close-quarters melee combat system than anything seen in a WW1 game to date.

Playing as a member of elite American, French and German armies, teams will need to work together in order to survive in Beyond The Wire. The lives of your squad will depend on tight communication, unit cohesion, quick wits and skills to break through the frontlines and crush the enemy. Squads will be able to utilize period-appropriate guns such as pistols, rifles, poisonous gas, shotguns and machine guns, as well as clubs, bayonets and more with Beyond The Wire’s advanced tactical close-quarters melee combat system bringing the horrors of war up-close-and-personal unlike anything that has been seen in a first-person shooter before.

Across the Battles of Zonnebeke, Frise, Ansoncourt and more real-world locations from WW1, multiple game modes allow players a choice of how they experience The Great War. Environments seeped in historical accuracy fully immerse players in each theatre of war as the 50 vs 50 player large-scale conflicts rage on in all directions as far as the player can see, with tight corners, limited vision and muddy debris-strewn pathways that are all fraught with danger.

Redstone Interactive and Offworld Industries have now launched their 50v50, WWI shooter Beyond The Wire into Steam Early Access, priced at $34.99 USD, €29.99 EUR or £27.79 GBP.
