11 bit studios will release survival game This War of Mine: Final Cut for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Microsoft Store on May 10, the developer announced. It will also be available via Xbox Game Pass for Console and PC.
This War of Mine: Final Cut first launched for PC via Steam, GOG, and Humble Store on November 14, 2019.
This War of Mine: Stories, which is comprised of three narrative-focused downloadable content episodes, will be also available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series separately or in one package. This War of Mine: Complete Edition bundles the base game with all of the This War of Mine: Stories downloadable content.
“The message and themes existing inside of This War of Mine have, unfortunately, become brutally vivid and relevant in recent months,” said 11 bit studios CEO Przemek Marszal in a press release. “We believe it’s especially important to educate people on the realities of war right now, while its horrifying reality has become a daily struggle for people that are close to us. We’re proud that recent This War of Mine fundraising helped us create a wave of spontaneous help for war victims in Ukraine, and we hope we can further spread our antiwar message with This War of Mine: Final Cut.”
Here is an overview of the game, via 11 bit studios:
About
The remastered Final Cut version is finally here!
In This War of Mine, you do not play as an elite soldier, rather as a group of civilians trying to survive in a besieged city; struggling with a lack of food, medicine and constant danger from snipers and hostile scavengers. During the day you need to focus on maintaining your hideout: crafting, trading and taking care of your survivors. At night, take one of your civilians on a mission to scavenge for items that will help you stay alive.
Make life-and-death decisions driven by your conscience. Try to protect everybody from your shelter or sacrifice some of them for longer-term survival. During war, there are no good or bad decisions; there is only survival. The sooner you realize that, the better.
