Free ‘This War of Mine’ Update Released in Celebration of Fifth Anniversary
In case you missed it, 11 Bit Studios’ This War of Mine turns the big five today. And in celebration of the game’s successes, the devs have released a free update to the game entitled This War of Mine: Final Cut.
Final Cut not only has goodies like a new character, new classic scenario, and all of the locations from the game’s Stories DLCs filled with more quests and events, it also gives the graphics a boost with 4K UI adjustments, remastered versions of all the classic levels and 21:9 aspect ratio support.
“We wanted to put the last touch to this phenomenon. The phenomenon, which made us who we are today as a team, equally in terms of creative fearlessness and business direction, and helped us pave our further way,” says Przemyslaw Marszał, art director at 11 bit studios.
“We think of the Final Cut as a closing episode to the one-of-a-kind series This War of Mine has been. It will remain precious to our hearts and I don’t know what ideas the future will bring but Final Cut is final by no means.”
And if you haven’t played the game yet, both Steam and GOG.com are having a discount on the game right now.
This War of Mine is also available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.
We’ll be waiting a little while longer for developer Studio Cut to Bits’ gothic Metroidvania Venture to the Vile. Originally slated to launch on PC via Steam on May 7, the game has now been pushed a couple of weeks to May 22. The PlayStation release of Venture to the Vile is still expected later this year.
In a press release, Venture to the Vile producer Masao Kobayashi explains the decision to delay the release, stating that while Studio Cut to Bits is made up of industry veterans, this is the first time that the team has released a game as indie developers. As such, the team encountered a few hurdles leading up to the original release date.
“We all love Venture to the Vile and want to make sure we are delivering the best possible game we can for our players. For this reason, we have decided to delay our game by two weeks. I’m sorry to those who have been anticipating our game but I assure you it is going to be worth the wait.”
Venture to the Vile centres on the town of Rainybrook, where an unknown darkness is taking over, transforming anything and anyone it touches. Fortunately for you, you seem to be unaffected by this presence. However, your friend Ella is nowhere to be seen. You must brave the horrors and find her.
