11 Bit Studios’ game will be available through Game Pass (both on console and PC), so subscribers will be in for a treat this time around.

This War of Mine: Final Cut was first released on PC on November 14 2019, on Steam, GOG and the Humble Store, but now, in addition to the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series pairing, PC users can also get their hands on 11 Bit Studios’ creation via the Microsoft Store. This War of Mine: Stories, a set of three narrative-focused DLC episodes, will also be available separately, or the pack can be found in its entirety as This War of Mine: Complete Edition.

“The message and themes existing inside of This War of Mine have become brutally vivid and relevant in recent months. We believe it’s essential to educate people on the realities of war right now, while its horrifying reality has become a daily struggle for people close to us. We’re proud that recent This War of Mine fundraising helped us create a wave of spontaneous help for war victims in Ukraine, and we hope we can further spread our antiwar message with This War of Mine: Final Cut,” said 11 Bit Studios CEO Przemek Marszal in a press release.

The studio provided the following overview: “The remastered Final Cut version is finally here! In This War of Mine, you do not play as an elite soldier, instead as a group of civilians trying to survive in a besieged city, struggling with a lack of food, medicine and constant danger from snipers and hostile scavengers. During the day, you need to focus on maintaining your hideout: crafting, trading and taking care of your survivors. At night, take one of your civilians on a mission to scavenge for items that will help you stay alive.

Make life-and-death decisions driven by your conscience. Try to protect everybody from your shelter or sacrifice some of them for longer-term survival. During the war, there are no good or bad decisions; there is only survival. The sooner you realize that, the better. Inspired by real-life events, control your survivors and manage your shelter; craft weapons, alcohol, beds or stoves—anything that helps you survive. Make decisions—an often unforgiving and emotionally brutal experience; randomized world and characters every time you start a new game. Charcoal-stylized aesthetics complement the game’s theme. All updates and free expansions added along the way to create the Final Cut.”

This War of Mine: Final Cut will launch on May 10 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Microsoft Store on PC, and Game Pass.
