Make difficult decisions and lead your legion home in the upcoming WWI strategy game

BRNO, Czech Republic & VIENNA, Austria – Sept. 27, 2023 – Siberia: merciless, unforgiving, a realm of death. No winter, no matter how brutal, can rival this icy purgatory. Today THQ Nordic and developer Ashborne Games delivered a new trailer for Last Train Home offering a closer look at the perilous path that is the only hope for the Czechoslovak Legion fleeing the aftermath of WWI, a desperate odyssey toward the distant harbor of Vladivostok and their final chance for salvation.

On this relentless journey, you’ll confront not only the numbing cold, but also the remorseless Red Army. Hunger has become a loyal companion, and the train, a vessel of dwindling hope, sputters on the verge of running dry—fuel that both propels the steel beast and preserves the fragile warmth of your legionary brethren. The fate of these valiant souls is destined by your decisions.

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.
