The Christmas Truce is live in Verdun! From today until January 5, you can call a truce and enter No Man’s Land by choosing the ‘Christmas Truce’ option from the Play menu. The event was inspired by the real Christmas Truces of 1914 on the Western Front. You can read more about the history and process of building the Christmas Truce in this article.

[h2]Snowballs, football, and much more![/h2]
In the Christmas Truce, the only teams that matter are football teams. Instead of guns, you can throw snowballs at other players, maybe play a friendly game of football on an improvised pitch, or just walk around and enjoy all the little details and scenes the truce map has to offer.

Witness a handshake ceremony yourself in-game.

Relax at the bonfire, listen to recordings of some old Christmas Carols, attend a burial in the temporary peace, and of course…

[h2]Send postcards and you could win prizes[/h2]
In the Christmas Truce map you can find post offices that allow you to send people outside the game digital Christmas cards. Every card you send counts as one entry in a Christmas raffle, where you could win game keys or merch – from peppermint cans to chocolate and coffee!

[h3]Hello soldiers,[/h3]
Winter has arrived on the Eastern Front and with that, hunger and cold amongst the soldiers on the battlefield. But they’re not the only ones being affected by the cold season and the war. Just like a soldier, the wolf awaits his moment to attack his prey in the woods.

[h2]Hunger drives the wolf out of the wood[/h2]
The Wolf Truce has returned to Tannenberg! From today until December 5, you’ll be able to participate in this unique Tannenberg experience! When you hear the wolves howl on the battlefields, the wolf pack will be coming for you. Both sides of the battlefield have the opportunity to cease fire and fight the hungry wolves together. If you and other players are able to eliminate the pack of hungry beasts without hurting anyone on the opposite team, you’ll all earn a special medal.

All your questions are answered in the FAQ!



[h3]As the wolves ran, drawing nearer to their prey...[/h3]
During the third winter of The Great War in 1917, the region between the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea was the battlefield for the German and Russian Armies. Having to fight each other often in brutal conditions and harsh environments resulted in negative effects on the soldiers’ supply lines, leading to some serious food shortages.

However, the soldiers weren’t the only ones who were hungry. The wolves who were native to the region faced an increased difficulty in hunting their normal prey. They already started feasting on the livestock in nearby villages, but it wasn’t enough to quell their hunger.

The wolf attacks might at one point have been so fearsome that the German and Russian troops called a temporary cease-fire toward each other and formed a brief alliance to jointly fight the lupine threat (although these reports do come from US newspapers, so take them with a pinch of salt).



[h3]If one runs with the wolves, one must howl with the pack[/h3]
