11/12/2024

Marking the 10th anniversary of This War of Mine, 11 bit studios is set to release the Forget Celebrations DLC on December 11th. Rather than celebrate the milestone with fanfare, the studio is using the occasion to amplify the game's poignant message and drive humanitarian aid.

This War of Mine

Genre: Adventure, Indie, Simulation

Developer/Publisher: 11 bit studios

Release Date: 15 Nov, 2014

Platform: PC

DLC Release Date: 11 Dec, 2024

Step into the lives of civilians trying to survive in a besieged city. Make tough decisions, manage your shelter, and experience war from a completely new perspective.


A Platform for Change

Available for the Steam version of This War of Mine at $2.99, the proceeds from the Forget Celebrations DLC will support critical humanitarian efforts. Donations will be made to Liberty Ukraine Foundation, Amnesty International, War Child, and Indie Games Poland Foundation.

This DLC continues the legacy of This War of Mine as a platform for action, following the success of previous initiatives like the War Child Charity DLC (2015) and fundraisers during the war in Ukraine, which collectively raised over $1.5 million for humanitarian causes.

Created by Veterans of This War of Mine

Forget Celebrations is crafted by members of the original development team, including Kacper Kwiatkowski and Grzegorz Mazur, founders of Vile Monarch, with narrative contributions by renowned Polish novelist Piotr Rogoża and Wojciech Setlak, one of the game's original writers. Their expertise ensures that the new content stays true to the game's heart-wrenching themes.

The Soundtrack Comes to Vinyl

As part of the anniversary, This War of Mine's critically acclaimed soundtrack by Piotr Musiał will finally be available on vinyl. Partnering with Black Screen Records, fans can now pre-order this hauntingly beautiful piece of the game's history.

A Decade of Reflection

"For ten years, This War of Mine has portrayed the civilian experience of war with unflinching honesty. Its universal tale of struggle and hope has become a call to action," said Przemysław Marszał, CEO of 11 bit studios. "The gaming community's empathy and generosity inspire us to continue making a difference."
