Exclusive new non-violent content available in Sunless Skies, Guns of Boom and more; Steam sale and fundraising livestream for children affected by conflict
War Child UK and Children in Conflict today return with their annual charity gaming fundraiser, Armistice 2019, which encourages peaceful gameplay during the month of November to coincide with Armistice Day.
This year the charity has partnered with its friends at Failbetter Games, I Got Games, Digital Legends and Game Insight to create exclusive in-game content that will raise funds to support children affected by conflict. Furthermore, a huge number of peace-promoting titles from Inkle, Snap Finger Click, Brain&Brain!, Dinosaur Polo Club, Oddworld Inhabitants, Bedtime Digital Games, Revolution Software and more will be discounted across Steam and Mobile. Gaming personalities Outside Xbox will also host the War Child Armistice Livestream alongside special guests.
Failbetter Games will today be launching a free update to its critically-acclaimed title Sunless Skies, which will introduce a new mascot to the literary horror RPG: the Sky-Worn Urchin. Orphaned by the Winchester War, the Urchin now stows away on locomotives, intending to see every corner of the sky. Sunless Skies and Failbetter’s previous title Sunless Sea will both be available at a discount on Steam during Armistice 2019.
Additional in-game Armistice 2019 activations are as follows:
- Guns of Boom (Game Insight): Two new Armistice Insignias/Emblems available, which players can purchase to show their support for children affected by conflict.
- Respawnables (Digital Legends): ‘Healer’ gadget returns for a limited time, and can be used to stun enemies and heal teammates without the need to switch ammunition type.
- Afterpulse (Digital Legends): A brand-new IAP containing non-violent content, such as Medic Kits and Lanterns.
- Shadowgun Legends (MADFINGER Games): An Armistice Bundle will be available from the in-game store priced $9.99. It includes an exclusive War Child Flower Power Helmet, in game currency and peace-themed stickers.
- Imperia Online (Imperia Online JSC): Players can purchase the Armistice Bundle containing a whole host of goodies to help them improve their empire, including Diamonds, Trade Coupons and Economic Schematics.
- Lords Mobile (I Got Games): The War Child Armistice Pack available for purchase in-game which contains 20% more gems than regular packs alongside a Shield, Chest of Hasty Learning, Speed Up Items and Resources
