WW1 FPS Isonzo supports Movember Movement with exclusive Moustache DLC

Blackmill Games :

ALKMAAR, THE NETHERLANDS, November 1, 2024 — BlackMill Games, the developer behind the WW1 Game Series, announces that it will be participating in this year’s Movember, a global charity dedicated to tackling men’s health issues. From November 1st to January 2nd, 2025, players of the WW1 FPS Isonzo can support the movement with an exclusive charity-driven DLC: the Movember Handlebar DLC. 

Players in Isonzo can acquire this exclusive and stylish handlebar moustache for $1.99 / €1.99 on Steam. Proceedings from the DLC will be donated to the Movember Foundation charity (please note that Steam’s standard fees and VAT apply). 

Dan Cooper, the Movember Foundation’s Global Director of Innovation, shared his enthusiasm for this collaboration, “The ‘Handlebar’ moustache DLC offers a way for the community to support and contribute to Movember’s mission to improve men’s health. This moustache is a symbol of solidarity, plus it’s hard not to respect someone sporting such an impressive upper lip accessory. We hope the moustache adds a little bit of fun, whilst doing good!”

BlackMill Games and the WW1 Game Series are no stranger to charities, having donated proceedings from custom in-game content to causes such as Warchild with the ‘Children in Conflict campaign’ and Trees for All initiative in 2019 before. Now, with the stylish Movember Handlebar DLC, players can sport an iconic handlebar moustache in-game as a symbol of solidarity with the Movember movement. It is available for a limited time period only. Purchased content will remain accessible afterwards.

About Movember
Twenty-one years ago, a bristly idea was born in Melbourne, Australia, igniting a movement that would transcend borders and change the face of men's health forever. The movement, known as Movember, united people from all walks of life. Sparking billions of important conversations, raising vital funds, and shattering the silence surrounding men's health issues. Since 2003, the trailblazing charity has challenged the status quo, shaken up men’s health research and transformed the way that health services reach and support men. Taking on prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention, with unwavering determination.

They have raised millions for men’s health, thanks to a passionate network of global Movember supporters. These critical funds have delivered more than 1,320 men’s health projects around the world. Funding hundreds of biomedical research projects and developing some of the largest prostate cancer registries in the world, based on the real-life experiences of hundreds of thousands of men. Since taking on mental health and suicide prevention in 2006, Movember has emphasised the importance of better social connections, early recognition of what men’s poor mental health looks like, and how clinicians can better respond to men in distress. They want to make sure more men know what to do when mental health issues appear, and that their supporters are better prepared to step in when they need it.

Movember will continue championing new research, cutting-edge treatments and healthy behaviours. Advocating for inclusive, gender-responsive healthcare systems that are tailored to the unique needs of men, women and LGBTQI+ people, from a diverse range of cultural backgrounds. In doing so, Movember hope to forge a future where barriers to healthy living are overcome, stigmas are removed, and where everyone has an equal opportunity to live a long healthy life. By improving men's health, we can have a profoundly positive impact on women, families, and society. Because healthier men mean a healthier world.
