Helsinki, Finland – May 13th, 2026 – Channel37 proudly announced Content Update 4: Below Us for The Last Caretaker, available in Early Access on Steam and the Epic Games Store – is discounted by 20% at $27.99 / €23.99 / £21.59.
Update 4: Below Us is one of the largest updates yet for The Last Caretaker, expanding the game’s world, tools, systems, and story. Players can now take to the air with the new Salvage Gyro, discover Gyro Service Towers, explore new Silo locations, enter Eden Cradle and uncover its questline, and delve deeper into the mystery of Project Canticle.
The update also introduces HoloMemory, a new system that reveals visual traces of past events in select world locations. More than collectibles, echoes are fragments of what came before, moments left behind in the world, waiting to be seen.
Alongside the new content, Content Update 4 adds several practical tools for survival and exploration.
Players can deploy the new Decoy Pod, build Drone Charging Stations, and use Hook Cables to connect to structures and interact with the world in new ways.

“Update 4 is about opening the world further,” said Antti Ilvessuo, Co-Founder of Channel37. “The Salvage Gyro changes how players read the horizon. Eden Cradle and Project Canticle push the story deeper. HoloMemory lets the past appear inside the world itself. At the same time, we kept doing the work Early Access needs: performance, physics, saves, localization, UI, audio, and bug fixes. Big systems matter, but so do small things.”
Content Update 4 also includes a large number of fixes and quality-of-life improvements across quests, interactions, vehicles, drones, collisions, inventory, localization, UI, save/load behavior, sound, visuals, and world streaming. Drone responsiveness, boat systems, flashlight behavior, glass visuals, environmental effects, and multiple location art passes have also been improved.
In The Last Caretaker, players awaken as the last active Caretaker, a machine built for one directive: save humanity. Across a vast ocean world, players recover human seeds, restore the Lazarus Complex, and launch the next generation into orbit. Every resource matters. Every success gives humanity one more chance.
The Last Caretaker is available now in Early Access on Steam and the Epic Games Store.
