There's a follow-up to the acclaimed My Child Lebensborn in the works
A follow-up to the BAFTA award-winning My Child Lebensborn is in the works.
My Child Lebensborn was a heart-wrenching game about caring for children born of war. Specifically, children born during World War 2 to Nordic women and German soldiers, and registered in the Nazi Lebensborn programme. It would lead to lives of persecution, abuse and bullying.
The game was released on mobiles in 2018, and won the Game Beyond Entertainment BAFTA in 2019. My Child Lebensborn was released more recently on Steam, and Xbox and PlaySation consoles, in June this year.
Creative producer Elin Festøy confirmed the follow-up game during a GDC panel yesterday on how games shape and reflect our worldview. “We’ve started on a follow-up to My Child Lebensborn,” she said at the end of an illuminating interview. I followed this up with her afterwards to get more information.
