War Child UK’s charity fundraiser Armistice 2019 focuses on “non-conflict” games

by Nicola Ardron on November 11, 2019

Today is Armistice Day and to coincide with that War Child UK and Children in Conflict have returned to their annual charity gaming fundraiser.

Armistice 2019 is an event that encourages peaceful game-play during the month on November. This year the charity has partnered with Failbetter Games, I Got Games, Digital Legends and Game Insight to create exclusive in-game content that will help raise funds to support children affected by conflict. Also involved are a 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. The team at Outside Xbox will also host the War Child Armistice Livestream alongside special guests.

Failbetter Games has launched a free update to Sunless Skies which introduces a new mascot to the literary horro RPG: The Sky-Worn Urchin. Failbetter’s previous title Sunless Sea as well as Sunless Skies will both be available at a discount on Steam during Armistice 2019.

The rest of the exclusive content is 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
