BRNO, Czech Republic & VIENNA, Austria – Aug. 4, 2023 – THQ Nordic and developer Ashborne Games have released a new story trailer for Last Train Home, the upcoming historical strategy game set in the aftermath of World War I. Yearning for home with a desperation that knows no bounds, the Czechoslovak Legionnaires crave one thing above all else – to finally set foot in their very own state, a place they shed blood, sweat, and tears for during the Great War. Their hearts ache to behold the faces of their families and friends, as they yearn to leave behind the desolate and unforgiving Siberian wilderness, along with the relentless turmoil of the Russian Civil War.
Home is their sole beacon of hope, calling them back from the depths of despair.
Last Train Home thrusts players into the grim aftermath of the First World War. As a commander of the Czechoslovak Legion, you’ll find yourself trapped in the chaos of civil war in the heart of Russia. Aboard an armored train, you must venture into the unforgiving landscape of Siberia and safely bring your men back home.
In order to accurately represent the time period, the game team partnered with the official Czechoslovak Legionary Community, which operates the “Legiovlak,” a faithful replica of a legionary train from the years 1918-1920, complete with a locomotive, infantry car, workshop, kitchen, ambulance, artillery car and more. The team was able to use the Legiovlak when recording to accurately depict the time when Czechoslovak war operations were taking place on the Trans-Siberian Railway in Russia.
Last Train Home is developed by Ashborne Games in Brno, Czech Republic, and is coming to PC. The game is available to wishlist now on Steam. For more information, visit the official website, and keep up with the team on Facebook, Instagram and Discord.
