As part of 11 bit studios\u2019 ongoing effort to gain recognition for its \u2018<\/span>meaningful entertainment<\/span>\u2019 philosophy, they\u2019re proud to announce that <\/span>This War of Mine<\/span> has made another prestigious achievement. The best-selling game portraying a dire civilian fate during a wartime struggle has secured a coveted spot in New York\u2019s The Museum of Modern Art<\/strong> as part of the exhibition Never Alone: Video Games and Other Interactive Design<\/strong> on view through July 16th, 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

\u201cNever Alone seeks to help us understand video games as various parts, different tools, and techniques that designers bring to bear to shape our experience with games,\u201d<\/span><\/i> states Paul Galloway, Collection Specialist, Department of Architecture and Design at MoMA and co-curator<\/strong> of the exhibition, that puts interactive design at its center.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere is often a kind of a conversation about games as fun, games as a diversion, but I think that there\u2019s an increasing range of games that ask more of the players. When I played This War of Mine it made me sad, it made me afraid, it made me very tense, and in the end, it left me with a very changed understanding of what it is to be playing in a war space,\u201d<\/span><\/i> describes Galloway.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

This War of Mine<\/span> was acquired by MoMA in 2022 <\/span>along with 35 other video games as part of the Museum\u2019s permanent collection<\/span><\/a>. This allows the Museum to study, preserve, and exhibit video games as part of its Architecture and Design collection. Starting in September 2022, the game is also a part of <\/span>War Games – an exhibition exploring the message about conflicts that are conveyed by war-themed games<\/span><\/a>, in the Imperial War Museum in London<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
