Gallipoli Roadmap: October 1 Map & Patch 1.1.0

The next dated Gallipoli content update is Ali Al Muntar, announced for October 1, 2026. BlackMill Games confirmed a free map and four free weapons, alongside two optional cosmetic packs, in its September 3 announcement. Separately, the studio's September 4 status update described Patch 1.1.0 as still in testing, without a replacement release date in that post.

What Is Coming Next?

• October 1, 2026 — Ali Al Muntar: a new free battlefield, four free weapons and the paid Khaki and Black Watch cosmetic packs.
• Patch 1.1.0 — in development in the September 4 status post: gameplay, balance and stability work; that announcement does not give a firm release day.
• Later Expeditions — broader plans without dates in the launch announcement: more battlefields, weapons and features, including future New Zealand involvement and a wider Ottoman Front setting.

These are announcement statuses checked on September 8, 2026. A planned update should not be treated as playable until the release notice and the update on your platform confirm it. The official Gallipoli news feed is the place to check for a newer notice.

Ali Al Muntar: October 1 Map and Weapons

The announced map opens with tanks accompanying the attacking force. Its farmland uses cactus rows to interrupt sightlines, and the final sector reaches the shrine on Mound Ali Muntar. Those details describe the developer's preview; they are not tested routes or a claim that players can drive the tanks.

Four weapons are confirmed for the free update, but the September 3 teaser does not identify them by name. The cosmetic additions are the Khaki Pack for the West Kent subfaction and the Black Watch Pack for the Scottish subfaction. See the official expansion teaser for the announcement and our current maps guide for battlefields already available.

Patch 1.1.0: Announced Changes

The hotfix status post, updated September 4, says the work expanded into Patch 1.1.0. The announced additions include:

• More starting tickets for attackers on every map.
• Private-match support on consoles.
• Additional Ottoman bayonets and a melee balance improvement.
• Improvements to bots following orders.
• Minimap markers for downed players.

The earlier part of that post also identifies hit registration, disconnections, crashes or stuttering, ultrawide first-person FOV, saved key bindings and room codes as areas being addressed. These are announced targets, not confirmation that each issue is already fixed. If you are troubleshooting a match now, compare your installed version with the latest release notice and consult official support.

Are New Maps Free? What Does a Season Pass Buy?

The Ali Al Muntar map and its four weapons are announced as free content. The separate Khaki and Black Watch packs are paid cosmetic content; the developer says both are included in the Second Expedition Season Pass. You do not need those cosmetic packs to receive this free map and weapon update.

The official FAQ explains that a Season Pass supplies its included cosmetic packs as they release. Buying a pass does not make every future item available immediately. Check the named contents before buying, particularly when comparing an Expedition's free gameplay updates with its paid customization packs.

Later Expeditions and Future Battlefields

The launch announcement describes a multi-year series of Expeditions containing free maps, weapons and features. It specifically mentions Chunuk-Bair and New Zealand participation for the Third Expedition, plus ambitions for the Caucasus Front and French participation later. That post does not assign those later items release dates.

The same announcement lists continuing work on the engine, bot AI and helping new players learn the game. For an overview of the existing combat systems, read the Gallipoli game guide.
