    About

    Beyond The Wire is a large-scale multiplayer first-person shooter immersing players in the frantic and bloody Western Front of the Great War. Utilizing both period-appropriate guns and a more tactical close-quarters melee combat system, the action in Beyond The Wire is more comprehensive than anything seen in a WW1 game to date.

    Massive Multiplayer Action In battles with up to 100 real-world combatants, players are split into two 50 person teams with each team broken into nine person squads and a commander overseeing the battle. Players have to communicate tactics with the rest of their squad as they contend with enemy emplacements, large open maps, and claustrophobic trenches to survive the brutal scale of action soldiers faced on the front lines of the Great War.Team-focused GameplayCoordinate and chat with your fellow soldiers-at-arms! Beyond The Wire places an emphasis on team collaboration. Call out enemy positions, share on-the-fly tactics, warn teammates about incoming fire—succeed and survive as a squad.
