From Press Release:
[May 4th, 2026] – September 1914. The war has ground to a halt. Now you dig in. Take command of your sector in Dig In, a WW1 Trench Warfare Colony Sim from Vitar Games. Carve the battlefield by digging and extending trench networks where your men live, sleep, and fight. Hold fast as artillery shapes the destructible battlefield. Move supplies, reinforce your lines, and design your defenses—using barbed wire in No Man’s Land to funnel the enemy into deadly strongpoints. When the moment comes, blow the whistle and send your men over the top. What kind of commander will you be? The shepherd to your men, or their butcher?
In the fragile calm before the storm, every decision matters. Ensure your troops are fed, sheltered, and safe in your trenches. Morale will decide how long they last. Do what you can to meet the demands of High Command as you deploy sections of men who only months ago were bakers, farmers, bellboys, and foremen. Hold the line as long as you can. Because victory isn’t about advancing — it’s about surviving.
About Dig In
- Wage War One Shovel at a Time: Shape the battlefield by digging and expanding trench networks, building shelters, and fortifying your position before the enemy makes their move.
- Command the Frontlines: Take control of forces across multiple nations, including France, Great Britain, Austria-Hungary, Russia, and Imperial Germany, in real-time tactical engagements. Additional factions will be deployed throughout Early Access.

- Adapt or Be Overrun: Embrace the chaos and creativity of war as you experiment with different approaches to suit the situation at hand. Survey the terrain for an advantage as you send your troops charging into battle or carefully and methodically hold the line; the choice is yours.
