This War of Mine: Stories - The Last Broadcast | Date Annoucement!
Hello there! We've got some exciting news for you!
We've teamed up with Meg Jayanth, Writer of '80 Days', to deliver a new story to the game. Episode 2: The Last Broadcast - is coming soon!

It took more than initially expected but we’re 11 bit studios - we iterate games hundreds of times to make sure what you are served is an utterly thrilling story. That’s the case with the new one.
Everything began after the first episode, Father’s Promise, when 11 bit studios joined forces with exceptionally talented game writer Meg Jayanth, most known for 80 Days (IGF winner for Excellence in Narrative), to create a new story for This War of Mine. Based on a scenario by Meg, we present to you The Last Broadcast, the newest installment to This War of Mine: Stories.
The new episode will launch on November 14, 2018, to mark the 4th anniversary of the original release of the game. Over the course of development, this story grew much larger in scope when compared to Father’s Promise.
Tomasz Kisilewicz, Project Lead, says:
“Surely it took us a while, but the focus was on delivering a deeply emotional story. The leading theme circles around the price of telling the truth.
In this addition, we’re introducing a lot of new content with different endings, new gameplay mechanics, new moral dilemmas about telling the truth that influence the world, new playable civilians, a new shelter people can live in, and new sites of the city of Pogoren to visit. It had to be at least as good as the other stories you can find in This War of Mine. For this reason, after we received the scenario from Meg we iterated on the episode an enormous amount of times afterward. We had to make sure that in the end, the community would have a story they expect from us and we couldn’t let them down. And now that The Last Broadcast is releasing, I’d like to say ‘enjoy The Last Broadcast’, but perhaps the better wording is actually ‘experience The Last Broadcast’.”
This new episode will be priced at $3.99 USD. Due to the significant growth of this DLC, the season pass will change from its price of $4.99 to $6.99 on November 14, 2018. We strongly encourage players to act now if they want to get this great content before the price increase! Everyone who has purchased the season pass to date will receive all of the content without any additional cost.

10% discount on Frostpunk for This War of Mine owners!
Hi there!
Good news, everyone!
If you own This War of Mine on Steam you can get Frostpunk - our brand new society survival game - with a 10% discount!
It’s a society survival game that asks what people are capable of when pushed to the brink of extinction. In an entirely frozen world, people develop steam-powered technology to oppose the overwhelming cold. The city’s ruler has to manage both the citizens and the infrastructure they live in. The leader’s tactical skills face challenges that will frequently question morality and the basic foundations of what we consider organized society. Optimization and resource management often clash with empathy and thoughtful decision-making. While city and society management will consume most of the ruler’s time, at some point exploration of the outside world is necessary to understand its history and present state.
What decisions will you make to ensure the survival of your society? What will you do when pushed to the limit? And...
...who will you become in the process?

Here's the full list of fixes:
Korean translations are fixed - we had some misleading/incorrect Korean lines in game - it's fixed now!
Animation fixes for Japanese, Chinese and Korean versions of the game - there were some smaller animation glitches here and there for these language versions; now everything should be back to normal!
Father's Promise DLC doesn't unlock the additional scenarios anymore - you have to play the main campaing to unlock them - so it's back to normal!
