From furry friends to feathered friends, 11 bit is proud to announce all proceeds from Paws and Claws will go to one of the largest animal protection organizations in the world

Warsaw, Poland – August 24th, 2020 — Valiant protectors of the land of Rea, the Bergsons are a beacon of hope for all of Rea’s citizens, both human and animal. Much like the Bergsons, we at 11 bit studios and Dead Mage love our animal friends too, and that’s why we’ve partnered with Humane Society International to launch Paws and Claws, a charity DLC for the bestselling indie action-RPG available now on PC, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4.

In order to protect Rea’s 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 that’s not all — a bunch of freshly brewed items have been added with a free treasure update available for all players! Containing new relics, consumables, and divine graces — that could, for instance, spawn laser traps around you or protect the Bergsons with breathing fire — there’s a little something for everyone!

“Paws and Claws is the kind of content that embraces the meaningfulness that we’re 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 Kała, Producer of Children of Morta.

• Animal shelter system – adds a whole new section of the house!
