Gallipoli Maps: All 5 Battlefields & New Map Update

Gallipoli maps guide with all 5 launch battlefields, pictures, sector landmarks and terrain tips. Find out when the free Ali Al Muntar map update arrives.

Gallipoli launched with five maps: Anzac Cove, V Beach, Ctesiphon, Kut Al Amara and Suez. They span the Gallipoli peninsula, Mesopotamia and the Sinai and Palestine campaign. Ali Al Muntar is the next announced free map, scheduled for October 1, 2026; it is not one of the five launch battlefields.

This guide covers the game maps, with official screenshots and landmarks to help you orient yourself. For the real 1915 peninsula and landing areas, use the separate historical Gallipoli campaign map guide.

All Gallipoli Maps at a Glance

  • Anzac Cove: a landing beach leading into steep ridges, Plugge's Plateau and the Sphinx.
  • V Beach / Cape Helles: a sea assault, Seddülbahir's castle and village, then an uphill approach.
  • Ctesiphon: exposed ruins, the Arch of Ctesiphon and ground beside the Tigris.
  • Kut Al Amara: desert defenses followed by streets, rooftops, the bazaar and docks.
  • Suez: the fifth base-game map, named in the official Expedition timeline.

These are multiplayer battlefields for Expedition mode. Objectives are semi-randomized: learn the landmarks, then check which objective is active in your match. The sector descriptions below summarize the developers' published walkthroughs, rather than guaranteeing the same objective sequence every round. See the Gallipoli game guide for the mode and squad roles.

Anzac Cove: Beach Landing and Ridgelines

The attacking British Empire troops begin in boats before climbing from the beach toward Plugge's Plateau. In the developer walkthrough, the first sector becomes a forward base once captured. The second sector extends toward the Sphinx; the final headquarters lies in trenches at Russell's Top. Official Anzac Cove walkthrough.

What to watch: elevation is the main orientation cue. The Sphinx overlooks much of the earlier ground, so a route that feels concealed at beach level may be visible from above. Before crossing a ridge, identify your next piece of solid cover and the active objective. The trench movement guide covers moving between exposed ground and defensive positions.

V Beach: River Clyde, Castle and Village

V Beach — official pre-release preview of the Cape Helles battlefield.

V Beach is the Cape Helles landing, with two opening transport options: smaller boats and the SS River Clyde. The developer describes the boats as faster at the start but more exposed. Once the River Clyde has grounded, its gangways and connected lighters provide a route ashore. Official V Beach walkthrough.

The published layout moves from the castle courtyard and coastal defenses into Seddülbahir village, then through farmland toward the final hilltop headquarters. Village side streets and interiors contrast with the longer views down its main roads. What to watch: the castle's narrow entrances, road crossings and the final exposed climb require different approaches. Reassess your cover and sightlines when the fighting moves inland.

Ctesiphon: Ruins, the Arch and Riverbank

Ctesiphon begins across open ground near ruined walls. The developers identify a wall position and the Vital Point in the first sector, followed by the Arch of Ctesiphon and Gurkha Mound in the second. The final headquarters is near the Tigris, where vegetation and water replace some of the desert terrain. Official Ctesiphon walkthrough.

What to watch: distance and visibility change the usefulness of a position. The original walkthrough describes a sandstorm reducing sightlines later in the battle; the subsequent map update also changed weather, lighting and cover. Check the conditions actually visible in your match before choosing a long-range position. Official Ctesiphon and Anzac Cove update.

Kut Al Amara: Desert Approach and Urban Fighting

Kut Al Amara — official pre-release preview of the town and surrounding battlefield.

Kut places Ottoman attackers against British defenses. Its four-sector walkthrough starts with the Mud Fort and a connected redoubt, continues past riverside palms and kilns, then enters the town around the British headquarters and mosque. The final approach passes through the bazaar toward a warehouse headquarters at the docks. Official Kut Al Amara walkthrough.

What to watch: the early desert approach and the later street fighting have very different sightlines. The developers specifically describe accessible rooftops, doorways between lanes and some dead ends. Check above street level when entering town, and learn which doorways actually connect to the next street before committing to a route. A familiar landmark is more dependable than assuming every doorway provides a flank.

Suez: Confirmed Base-Game Map

Suez is named among the five base-game maps in the official Expedition timeline. The launch overview describes its fifth location as part of the Sinai and Palestine campaign. The image linked below is that roadmap, not a Suez gameplay screenshot. View the official map timeline.

The sources reviewed for this guide do not provide a comparable Suez sector walkthrough. We therefore have not assigned spawn locations, capture-point names or a recommended route to it. Use the live objective markers in your match until a verifiable layout is available.

New Map: Ali Al Muntar on October 1

BlackMill Games' September 3 announcement schedules the Ali Al Muntar expansion for October 1, 2026. It introduces a free map with tanks accompanying the opening assault, farmland divided by cactus rows, and a final sector on Mound Ali Muntar. These are announced features, not confirmation that the map is playable today. Official expansion announcement.

The developer also announces four free weapons and separate paid cosmetic packs. Follow the Gallipoli roadmap and update guide for release status and the distinction between free gameplay updates and cosmetics.

Map Questions Before You Play

Are the maps exact historical reconstructions?

No. BlackMill Games bases them on real locations but adjusts them for gameplay and balance. An archival map can explain the wider terrain; it cannot reliably tell you the game's current spawn positions or objective boundaries. The Australian War Memorial's map collection is useful for historical context.

Do I need a paid DLC pack for the new map?

The announced Ali Al Muntar map is free. The same update includes paid cosmetic packs, which are separate from the new battlefield. Check the roadmap guide above for the announced release date and contents.

Which map should I learn first?

Start with the map your server is playing and learn one sector at a time: your team's approach, the active objective and a route back to cover. For the four maps documented above, use named landmarks to explain positions to your squad. If you are struggling to find a populated match, the player count and server guide explains what the available population figures can tell you.
