The early access survival game continues to grow with new gameplay additions, content, and Spanish (Spain) and Japanese language support

LOS ANGELES – Aug. 7, 2023 –Survival: Fountain of Youth, the single-player survival game set in the 16th-century Caribbean islands by developer Odinsoft and publisher Twin Sails Interactive, furthers its horizon with a boatload of new content available now on Steam Early Access with the new “Captain’s Trail” update!

Return to the Caribbean and continue searching for the Fountain of Youth in a newly added third region full of treacherous islands and underwater terrain to explore. Overcome dangerous weather patterns like thick fog, deadly electric stingrays, and more by utilizing new traps, perks, and a new ship. Packed with tons of content to explore, adventurers can expect an additional 20 hours of gameplay in the new update.

Set during Juan Ponce de Leon’s legendary 16th-century expedition to find the fabled Fountain of Youth, shipwrecked survivors must overcome wild threats and scarce resources, scavenging for necessities and establishing a base of operations as they explore a mysterious collection of islands. The new update builds upon a successful early access launch, garnering a positive 86% rating overall, with the addition of new territories, including sunken ships, enigmatic underwater temples, craggy cliff sides, and expanded gameplay mechanics.

Survivors can now set traps to prey upon unwary wildlife and help automate the food-gathering process – but are now in danger themselves from flocks of bats, electric stingrays, hunting packs of wild jackals… and most alarmingly, the ferocious puma. The fearsome Great Jackal pack leader serves as the ultimate test of an explorer’s grit and survival skills, calling upon bloodthirsty allies if not swiftly disposed.

In turn, the new Spanish Schooner will greatly assist survivors’ ability to explore the nearby waters with incredible speed and increased storage to carry their hard-earned resources. The addition of iron as a new crafting material allows for more powerful tools and weapons, a massive improvement to their capabilities in the face of these new threats.

“We are very passionate and committed to improving this challenging survival experience we have created,” said Stas Kotrutsa, Development Lead, Odinsoft. “This latest update is a testament to that commitment and a taste of what fans can expect when Survival: Fountain of Youth launches into 1.0.”

Survival: Fountain of Youth is now available on Steam Early Access for Windows PC and will be discounted 20% starting today at 7 PM CET until Thursday, August 10. The latest update for the single-player survival game features new localization support for Japanese and Spanish (Spain), alongside its already existing English, French, German, Russian, and Simplified Chinese language support.

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.
