Tannenberg is a multiplayer FPS set in the First World War. The developers from Verdun take the focus now on the eastern front between 1914 - 1918. It is named after the infamous Battle of Tannenberg in 1914. Tannenberg offers a range of game modes - including the exciting new mode reflecting the different nature of the war on the Eastern Front - and a wealth of historical detail: realistic WW1 weaponry, authentic uniforms, horrendous gore, and maps based on real battlefields, this time in the forests, plains and mountains along the border between the Russian Empire and the Central Powers.

The following weapons appear in the video game Tannenberg:
