About ten years ago, 11 bit studios released This War of Mine, telling a stark and touching story of war and the people who fight, live through and survive it. Ten years later, the game is not only receiving new DLC that supports anti-war charities, but also a vinyl anniversary soundtrack that captures the incredible music throughout the game. Today we received a release date for the Forget Celebrations DLC and pre-orders for the anniversary vinyl have been opened.

The 11 bit studios team announced the release date details This War of Mine’s Forget Celebrations DLC and the 10th anniversary vinyl. The Forget Celebrations DLC will be released on December 11, 2024 on all available platforms for $2.99 ​​USD. Proceeds from this DLC will be used to support a number of anti-war, Polish and Ukrainian gaming charities, including the Liberty Ukraine Foundation, Amnesty International, War Child and Indie Games Poland.

Ten years ago we published #ThisMineWar – a game that we hoped would shine a light on the devastating realities of war. A decade later, its dark message seems more urgent than ever.

While we cannot celebrate in the midst of ongoing conflicts, remaining silent seems just as unacceptable.
