This War of Mine getting new charity DLC

As a connoisseur of video games with a soft spot for titles that delve into the human condition, I can wholeheartedly endorse the latest expansion for 11 bit studios’ masterpiece, This War of Mine. Having played and been moved by this game since its initial release a decade ago, I am thrilled to see it continue to evolve while also making a tangible impact on the real world.


11-Bit Studios unveiled a fresh DLC for This War of Mine today, commemorating the game’s ten-year anniversary since its initial release, with all profits directed towards charity. Unlike conventional war games, it depicts the human impact of conflict, offering a harrowing depiction of how war can devastate lives and survival possibilities, revealing the harsh reality of death and destruction.

In “Forget Celebrations,” players join Katia, a hardened war reporter, in the ravaged city of Pogoren. As she strives to pen a book about the grim truths of war, a missile strike obliterates her residence, compelling her into an even more arduous battle for survival and the retrieval of her amassed research materials.

The upcoming expansion pack for This War of Mine, named ‘Forget Celebrations,’ aims to underscore the ongoing devastation caused by war across the globe. By showcasing the tragic consequences of conflict, whether through the loss of soldiers on the battlefield or innocent civilians ensnared in its brutality, this DLC seeks to raise awareness. Notably, the revenue generated from this DLC will be donated to charities such as War Child, Amnesty International, Liberty Ukraine Foundation, and Indie Games Poland.

“This War of Mine has significantly marked its place in video game history, being showcased at esteemed institutions like the Imperial War Museum London and the Museum of Modern Art New York. Furthermore, through various charity downloadable content, the game continues to generate funds for War Child. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, all earnings from a week-long period were donated to the Ukrainian Red Cross, amassing an impressive $850,000.

Moreover, This War of Mine has been acknowledged as supplemental material by the Polish Ministry of Education and has also received a Special Recognition Award from Amnesty International for its efforts in promoting understanding of international humanitarian law.
