The Outside Xbox team will also host a special War Child Armistice four-hour Livestream on November 12, with guests including comedians Steve McNeil, Bec Hill, and Jake Lambert. Popular content creators including Hannah Rutherford and Stuart Ashens will also be appearing to play through a selection of non-violent games. The stream kicks off at 4pm GMT.
Finally, War Child UK has partnered with a number of companies, including Failbetter Games, I Got Games, Digital Legends and Game Insight to create exclusive in-game content to raise further funds. Failbetter has launched a free update to the critically-Sunless Skies, which introduces a new character to the horror RPG in the form of the Sky-Worn Urchin.
"Orphaned by the Winchester War, the Urchin now stows away on locomotives, intending to see every corner of the sky," War Child writes. "Sunless Skies and Failbetter's previous title Sunless Sea will both be available at a discount on Steam during Armistice 2019."
