'War Hospital' Will Make You Face Moral Dilemmas - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on Feb. 1, 2022 @ 11:26 a.m. PST

War Hospital is a unique war-themed society survival/strategy game about saving lives, not taking them.

A fight for life.
A fight for the soul.

The year is 1917. You are major Henry Wells, a retired British combat medic, drafted back and thrown into the nightmare of World War I. Understaffed and undersupplied, you are the last bastion of hope for countless soldiers at the French Front.

The game represents the new genre of society survival, which consists of such games as Frostpunk and This War of Mine.

Treat horrible war injuries as the commander of a field hospital. Build a facility to heal them while the artillery shells explode ear-splittingly close. Use real WW1 equipment and see how your tools and methods evolve. Your choices will make a lasting impact.

Build a micro-community of life-savers and survivors. Kindle hope in your staff and soldiers. Bring a speck of normalcy by inspiring periods of ceasefire. Play a war-themed game that celebrates life, not death.


The above video features Major Henry Wells, who is facing the moral dilemmas that come with his role.

With this new cinematic trailer, players confront the harsh reality of war, where every choice is a fateful decision. In their role of attending to the sick and injured, players must choose the best way to treat soldiers' war wounds by managing the means at their disposal. Most of these decisions have immediate consequences for the injured, and the terrible events that are part of daily life in the trenches are not always predictable. As well as treating patients, players will need to make difficult decisions that impact staff morale, resource availability, and sometimes even the course of history.

Thanks to the support that the British Imperial War Museums gave to the developers, the game faithfully reproduces the environment of the front and trenches, and features the authentic medical equipment available at the time.

Key Features:

  • A war-themed game focused on saving lives, not taking them
  • Society survival that challenges tactics as well as morals
  • Faithfully recreated setting of the French Front in WW1
  • Realistically depicted conditions of a British field hospital
  • Develop and put to use innovative WW1 medical technology

War Hospital will come to PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam) in Q4 2022.
