This act of charity comes on the heels of many other opportunities that first began with the This War of Mine: The Little Ones DLC, as it raised funds—$558,000 and counting—for War Child helping youngsters affected by war. In February of 2022, when Russia invaded Ukraine, 11 bit studios decided to donate the proceeds of one week’s worth of This War of Mine sales to the Ukrainian Red Cross. During that period, 204,000 copies were sold across all platforms raising a massive $850,000 in the process.

11 bit studios is equally proud of the recognition This War of Mine has gathered over the years. The game has been shown in countless exhibitions with highlights such as being featured at The Museum of Modern Art in New York and in the recent War Games exposition at the Imperial War Museum in London, and also its inclusion in the Polish national education system. Starting in the upcoming school year, This War of Mine will be added to the core curriculum of schools across Poland as complementary reading to use during lessons surrounding armed conflicts, morality, and ethics. Already in use by various teachers throughout Poland and by university lecturers worldwide, the impact of This War of Mine on impressionable students thus far cannot be understated.
