GN Version 5.0

This War of Mine launched back on PC in 2014, and ever since then, 11 bit Studios has been keeping the game fresh with new content and expanding to new platforms. The game came to Switch not all that long ago, and its helped breath new life into the game overall. For example, This War of Mine generated more revenue in Q1 2019 than in Q1 2018. In a feature written by publishing director Paweł Feldman, we hear more about how bringing the game to Switch was important to keep momentum going.

This War of Mine was expanded with every edition. Mobiles were all about touch controls, consoles got the 'The Little Ones' expansion, which later came out on PC. For Nintendo Switch, This War of Mine was released as a Complete Edition, containing the game, DLC, and a Season Pass with Stories episodes. ...It's like adding another retail layer to the franchise, but it's crucial to be on new platforms like Nintendo Switch and think outside the box. The This War of Mine board game was also a huge success.
