Perhaps one of the war's most forgotten elements, the campaign in the Balkans saw the mobilisation of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but largely revolved around confrontations between Bulgaria, then in allegiance with the Central Powers, and Serbia/Greece, the latter of which formally entered the war at the dawn of 1918.
Apart from the fact that the addition of this front would provide yet another excuse to add more factions into the title, there's also an opportunity to address the very origins of the Great War itself, seeing as, you know, old Archduke Ferdinand actually bit the bullet in Serbia slap-bang in the middle of 1914.
It might not top the list of requests for Battlefield's post-release platform, but the Macedonian Front remains one of the most intriguing aspects of the conflict to date.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
