Halo’s 343 Industries, Total War’s Creative Assembly and Football Manager’s Sports Interactive will be joined by Curve Digital, Bossa, Spilt Milk Studios, Team 17, Hardlight, Carbon Games, Torn Banner and Hinterland (with more to come) in a global six-day game jam to create games that will be bundled together for a release called HELP: Real War is Not a Game.
