This War of Mine Gets a Full Remake at 11 Bit Studios

This War of Mine is getting a reimagining at 11 Bit Studios, and the studio says the project sits alongside two completely new, still-unannounced games, an all-new Frostpunk game, and more work on its existing series. 11 Bit revealed the news in its 2025 financial summary, which also says the studio’s financial situation is stable. For players, this matters because the original game’s anti-war themes feel even sharper now, and 11 Bit appears to be treating the remake as a serious new release rather than a quick coat of paint.

The project has the internal name P15, and 11 Bit describes it as a reimagining of the award-winning 2014 anti-war survival game This War of Mine. The studio hasn’t given a release date for the remake, but it did say 2026 will bring the full release of Moonlighter 2, new DLC for Frostpunk, and new DLC for The Alters, while Frostpunk 1886 is planned for the turn of 2027/2028. That puts the remake in a wider roadmap that already stretches across several years, which should tell players this isn’t a side project or a nostalgia play.

About This War of Mine

11 Bit Studios is the developer behind This War of Mine, and the company’s 2025 financial summary places the game back at the centre of its future plans. The source describes This War of Mine as an award-winning 2014 anti-war survival game, and 11 Bit calls the new version “a reimagining of the cult classic This War of Mine.” That framing matters, because it signals a full rethink of the game’s presentation and structure rather than a simple remaster.

Przemysław Marszał, 11 Bit CEO, said, “The Alters showed that we can build new, global brands, and we are consistently developing Frostpunk as a long-term franchise,” which helps explain why the studio is mixing new IP with familiar names. He also said, “Projects like Frostpunk 1886 or the newly announced P15, which is a reimagining of This War of Mine, are not standard remasters,” and that they “represent a fully modern, fresh take on the games that defined 11 Bit studios, designed from the ground up with a multi-year lifecycle and long-term community engagement in mind.” For players, that suggests the remake is being built to last, with room for updates, support, and a longer conversation with the audience.

11 Bit’s New Strategy for P15 and Frostpunk 1886

11 Bit’s future slate now includes two “completely new” and still unannounced games, an all-new Frostpunk game, P15, and Frostpunk 1886. Marszał said the new Frostpunk game will expand the series “into a new genre,” while the source adds that the article speculates it could be a Cryostasis-style survival shooter where players comb the outside world for resources and survivors. That’s speculation, not confirmed fact, but the genre shift itself is real and it could change how Frostpunk players approach survival, risk, and resource gathering.

• Two “completely new” and thus far unannounced games are in development.
• P15 is a reimagining of This War of Mine.
• Frostpunk 1886 is an all-new Frostpunk game.
• 11 Bit says the new Frostpunk game will expand the series “into a new genre.”
• Frostpunk 1886 is “planned for the turn of 2027/2028.”

Creative director Michał Drozdowski said, “Our strategy is primarily an evolution that allows us to explore the boundaries of the medium even more boldly,” and added, “We want every game under the 11 Bit studios banner, whether it's a completely new IP or a reimagining of already known worlds, to carry a unique, ambitious artistic vision and that special emotional charge that our players value most.” That’s a strong statement, and it gives the remake a clear creative mandate: preserve the emotional weight of the original while pushing the format forward. If 11 Bit follows through, P15 should feel like a new version of a familiar wound, not a museum piece.

What This Means for Players

This is a smart move, even if it comes with risk. A full remake of This War of Mine gives 11 Bit a chance to bring the game’s civilian-focused survival design to players who missed the original, while also reworking it for a “fully modern, fresh take” as the studio puts it. The long-term community support angle matters too, because a remake built “from the ground up with a multi-year lifecycle” suggests ongoing updates rather than a one-and-done launch.

At the same time, 11 Bit is leaning hard on its own catalogue, and that can cut both ways. Fans of This War of Mine will want more than upgraded visuals and a tidy nostalgia loop, especially with the source stressing that P15 is “not standard remasters.” If the studio really wants this to land, it needs to keep the original’s focus on civilians trapped in war zones and make the remake feel necessary, not decorative. Marszał’s comments point in that direction, and that’s the encouraging part.

For now, 11 Bit hasn’t said when P15 will arrive, and that leaves the remake in the same bucket as the studio’s other unannounced projects. What we do know is that the company has put This War of Mine back on the board, and it’s doing so with unusually clear intent. Watch for more details as 11 Bit moves through its 2026 plans and the longer runway it has laid out for Frostpunk 1886.
