Hi there, Family! Valiant protectors of the land of Rea, the Bergsons are a beacon of hope for all of Reas citizens, both human and animal. Much like the Bergsons, we at 11 bit studios and Dead Mage love our animal friends too, and thats why weve partnered with Humane Society International to launch Paws and Claws, a charity DLC for Children of Morta! The DLC is available now on PC, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4! Watch the most wholesome and heartwarming trailer for a DLC ever: https://youtu.be/HYdBAMT_GcY In order to protect Reas creatures with paws and claws -- and beaks, wings, fur, or horns -- the Bergsons homestead will see an entirely new section added. Of course, caring for all these animals means new responsibilities for the family members, and looking after them will add to their daily routines, but the selfless and soothing presence of your various friends could be rewarding and affect the heroes in further battles. And thats not all -- a bunch of freshly brewed items have been added with a free 'A Treasure!' Update available for all players - whether you own the Paws and Claws DLC or not! Containing new relics, consumables, and divine graces -- that could, for instance, spawn laser traps around you or protect the Bergsons with breathing fire -- theres a little something for everyone! Get the DLC here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1317160/ Notice: 100% of 11 bit studios and Dead Mage's proceeds go to the Humane Society International charity!
Paws and Claws is the kind of content that embraces the meaningfulness that were often pouring into our games. Animals are a big part of the original Children of Morta story, so enriching relationships with them in the game felt natural. And collaborating with an organization like Humane Society International perfectly fits 11 bit studios mindset since we believe that a company producing meaningful games should also act meaningfully - said Karol Kaa, Producer of Children of Morta. 100% of 11 bit studios and Dead Mage proceeds from Paws and Claws DLC go to the Humane Society International charity, whose main mission is to help animals all over the world.
