Accordingly, the Roman Empire is likely to be a key part of the charity stream. The team of well-known content creators who are working together on Friendly Fire are always coming up with new ideas to put on a great show.

Friendly Fire 11 will take place on December 6 starting at 3 p.m. Gronkh, Pandorya, PietSmiet, MrMoregame, fishc0p, Phunkroyal, and Heider have already been confirmed as participants.

 "Over the years, Friendly Fire has become an integral part of the German gaming and charity landscape. It's all the more wonderful that Anno 117: Pax Romana is the focus of attention, a title that not only stands for strategic depth and historical authenticity, but also for the innovative power of German development studios," says Karsten Jahn, General Manager Marketing Central Europe at Ubisoft. "The Anno series has a long tradition, and Anno 117 promises to be the most ambitious chapter yet. I am therefore delighted that two strong brands, Anno and Friendly Fire, are coming together and that we are once again able to support the fundraising campaign as the official main sponsor this year."

"Friendly Fire has grown enormously over the years, and we are very pleased that Ubisoft is supporting us as the main sponsor for the fourth time. It's especially nice that Anno 117, a game developed in Germany, is inspiring our stage design and merch, and you can feel a real shared enthusiasm for bringing the projects together," says Lena Laaser, project manager of Friendly Fire 11.

With its date in early December, Friendly Fire has not only established itself as an integral part of the Advent season over the years, but is also the most successful games charity stream from Germany. Last year's edition, Friendly Fire 10, alone raised over €2 million for charity. The cumulative total of over €10 million since the start was already exceeded a year earlier during Friendly Fire 9, when the stream raised €1.35 million.
