Few games have ever delivered experiences as intense and morally challenging as 11-Bit Studios’ survival sim This War of Mine, so much so that the game, with its tales showing war from the perspective of civilians, was recently added to the recommended reading list in Polish schools. Now it’s easier than ever for people to experience those stories, thanks to a new update for the Nintendo Switch version of the game.
While the Switch version released in 2018 was billed as the Complete Edition, it actually hadn’t received every piece of post-launch content that 11-Bit has developed for the game. That is, until this month, because a recent update finally added in the last two pieces of DLC, allowing Switch owners to finally experience everything This War of Mine has to offer.
Players now have access to the last two of the three This War of Mine: Stories standalone episodes, The Last Broadcast and Fading Embers. Both of these provide some of the most narrative-driven and intense stories 11-Bit Studios has told, with The Last Broadcast putting players in the role of a radio operator facing the moral dilemma of whether to share the truth of not, while Fading Embers follows a woman who must make the difficult decision of choosing between the survival of a man or a legacy. Each of these offer multiple paths for their stories to take, with players’ decisions shaping how they end.
With the update, now is a good time for anyone interested in This War of Mine to give it a try, and as added incentive, the Complete Edition is currently on sale in the Nintendo eShop for 75% off, meaning all of the game’s base and DLC content can be gotten for just $9.99, but only until November 30.
This War of Mine is available for Mobile, PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
