War Child UK launch Armistice 2020 campaign

War Child UK, the charity that protects, educates and stands up for the rights of children caught up in war, is today launching its annual Armistice fundraiser, which encourages peaceful gameplay during the month of November to coincide with Armistice Day. This year the campaign includes a fundraising Steam Sale and will be supported by a series of Fall Guys streams throughout the period.

Starting today, until the 17 November, players can pick up a host of non-violent games in the Armistice Steam Sale, including critically-acclaimed titles from Daedalic Entertainment, Amanita Design, Inkle, Dinosaur Polo Club, Huey Games and Bossa Studios. A percentage of all proceeds will go directly to children whose lives have been torn apart by war.

This year the charity has also partnered with its friends at Mediatonic, to host a series of Fall Guys charity streams. From 19-30 November, many popular influencers will be playing Fall Guys for their fans, who will be encouraged to donate directly to War Child. Anyone wishing to stream Fall Guys in aid of War Child can sign up here.
