This War of Mine News

Forget Celebrations, a new This War of Mine Charity DLC coming soon.



Hello everyone,

Today marks the 10th anniversary of This War of Mine. A decade since its release, the game’s mission to shed light on the civilian cost of war is far from over.

That’s why, very soon, the game will receive a new charity DLC, Forget Celebrations. In this new story, you’ll return to war-torn Pogoren to follow the story of Katia, a seasoned war correspondent. While struggling to write a book on the brutal realities of war, a missile attack devastates her home, forcing her into an even harsher fight for survival and the recovery of her gathered material.

All studio proceeds from #ForgetCelebrations will be donated to support our charity partners in this anniversary initiative: War Child, Amnesty International, Liberty Ukraine, and Indie Games Poland. Stay tuned to learn how you can make a difference.

Add Forget Celebrations to your wishlist and stay updated:

Take care,

After ten years, superb survival game This War of Mine is suddenly back

From Fallout to Baldur's Gate 3, Civilization to Cyberpunk 2077, a lot of the greatest PC games are based on the idea that your choices as a player really, truly matter. But nowhere is that more keenly felt than in This War of Mine, the unique, historical survival game first launched by Frostpunk 2 maker 11 bit way back in 2014. A fictionalized portrait of the Siege of Sarajevo, it makes the simple act of cooking a meal, putting wood on the fire, or even answering the door feel laden with consequences. Now, a decade since it originally arrived, This War of Mine is suddenly back with an entirely new DLC.

This War of Mine's spiritual successor demo now available!

Hello everyone,

As 11 bit studios we're known mostly as the developers of This War of Mine and Frostpunk but there are more games we're working on! The Alters is a title developed by a team that consists of many former This War of Mine creators and as such is in many ways a spiritual successor to this cult game. While the setting is totally different, taking you to a distant planet instead of a war-torn city, the game aims to ask as many important questions. Just like in This War of Mine, The Alters’ main protagonist faces impossible odds and must discover how far he is willing to go in order to save his life.

See the latest Gameplay Trailer:
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Jan Dolski is a simple worker who faces impossible odds. Crash-landing on a distant planet, stranded and alone, he seems trapped with no way out. Jan’s only hope for survival is to employ additional helping hands on board his mobile base… but how? Improvising as he goes, Jan uses the local Rapidium substance to create alternate versions of himself: The Alters.

Play The Alters Demo and see for yourself what it's like to be Jan(s).

Right now, until June 17th you can play The Alters demo during Steam Next Fest. Give it a try:

Frostpunk dev's decade-old strategy hit suddenly has 132% more players

There can only be two possible reasons for gamers to flood back to a game that was released ten years ago: either it's an incredible game, or it's very, very cheap. In the case of This War of Mine, both of these are true, as the visceral survival game just shot up in popularity thanks to a free play promotion over the weekend.
