11 Bit Studios, the creators of the side-scrolling survival game This War of Mine, are celebrating the game’s 10th anniversary by releasing a new charity DLC called Forget Celebrations. This DLC is part of the studio’s ongoing mission to raise awareness about the civilian cost of war.
Forget Celebrations takes players back to the war-torn city of Pogoren, where they follow the story of Katia, a war correspondent. The DLC explores the brutal realities of war as Katia struggles to survive after a missile attack destroys her home.
Although 11 Bit Studios has not announced the release date or price of the DLC, they have confirmed that all proceeds will be donated to charity partners such as War Child, Amnesty International, Liberty Ukraine, and Indie Games Poland. The goal is to support those affected by current conflicts around the world.
This War of Mine has received praise since its launch in 2014 and has been featured in museums and even added to the Polish school curriculum. The game’s depiction of the harsh realities faced by civilians in conflict zones has earned it recognition from organizations like Amnesty International.
In a review of This War of Mine, it was noted that the game’s message about the horrors of war is conveyed convincingly and serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of international humanitarian law in protecting civilian lives during armed conflicts.
Overall, the release of the Forget Celebrations DLC highlights 11 Bit Studios’ commitment to shedding light on the impact of war on civilians and supporting charitable causes that aim to make a difference in conflict-affected regions.
