This War of Mine

In celebration of This War of Mine's two year anniversary, 11 Bit Studios has launched a free Anniversary Edition update for the frontline combat survival game.

In August, 11 Bit announced Frostpunk a similarly bleak venture that also holds a mirror to society's functionality however the Polish outfit has returned to the game that "immediately turned [its] world as a studio upside down."

"That success has given our company amazing opportunities to grow and explore new projects, such as Frostpunk, and that s only possible because of the people who believed in This War of Mine in the first place," reads a Steam Community update. This War of Mine's Anniversary Edition is somewhat of a thank you, then, and brings with it three new locations, new civilians, a new ending scenario, and new achievements.

Here's the accompanying trailer:

11 Bit also notes This War of Mine's Anniversary Edition is "not separate DLC - just a standard update for the original game." Assuming you own the original, it will download automatically when you log or relog into Steam.

If you fancy giving This War of Mine a go, it's out now on The Humble Store for 14.99/$19.99. Check out our review by heading this way.

We released This War of Mine two years ago, and the response immediately turned our world as a studio upside down.

That success has given our company amazing opportunities to grow and explore new projects, such as Frostpunk, and that’s only possible because of the people who believed in This War of Mine in the first place.

That’s why we are releasing the Anniversary Edition; a complete retail package with new characters, new locations to explore, and most importantly, a whole new ending. This content is also available completely free to owners of the base game.

This War of Mine

Twitch has revealed November's free games and content for Twitch Prime, a name given to additional benefits for Amazon Prime subscribers. This month's loot includes exclusive in-game content for Watch Dogs 2, in addition to digital copies of This War of Mine: Anniversary Edition and Punch Club.

Anyone who's subscribed to Amazon Prime during the month of November can get themselves an in-game Twitch hoodie for Ubisoft's open-world action game. It also comes with an XP boost and two skin packs. The first is pixel art-themed, while the other is titled, "Guts, Grit, and Liberty." Unfortunately, no images of the skins were released.

This of War Mine's Anniversary Edition brings three new areas, which introduce new characters and alternate endings to the stealth-survival game. PC Gamer's review of the base game scored it an 80/100. You can also currently pick This War of Mine up on Steam for $5.

Punch Club, on the other hand, doesn't include any additional content, but it did receive a free expansion, The Dark Fist, earlier this year.

The Watch Dogs 2 content is available from November 7 to December 12, but a schedule for the two games has not been released. When they become available, the games will be downloadable through the Twitch Launcher.

Twitch Prime also offers ad-free viewing, in addition to free monthly games and content. As mentioned earlier, they're additional benefits to an Amazon Prime subscription, so you only need to pay one monthly or yearly fee to access both services.

This War of Mine experience on mobile devices is now broadened with The Little Ones expansion.

The newly delivered expansion explores the hardships of wartime survival as seen from an entirely new perspective―that of a child. This DLC puts you in charge of a group of adults and children stuck in a besieged city, struggling with basic necessities. TWoM: The Little Ones focuses not only on the reality of enduring war, but also on how even in times of conflict, kids are still kids: they laugh, cry, play, and see the world differently. In addition to thinking about survival, you'll have to summon your inner child to understand how to protect the little ones. Their youth, and their future, are in your hands.
