‘THE LAST KIDS ON EARTH AND THE STAFF OF DOOM’ RELEASES ON CONSOLES AND PC TODAY!
The kid-friendly, zombie action video game based on the New York times best-selling books and Emmy award-winning Netflix series ‘the last kids on earth’ is officially launched
Team up with family and friends and take on a multitude of zombies and massive monsters in a quest to save the world!
The zombie apocalypse has arrived and it’s time to prepare for an epic battle! Outright Games, the leading global publisher of family-friendly interactive entertainment, together with Atomic Cartoons (the Kids and Family Division of Thunderbird Entertainment), and development studio Stage Clear Studios have today launched The Last Kids on Earth and The Staff of Doom. The production partnership is managed by Atomic Cartoons’ worldwide agent for merchandise, licensing and video games, Cyber Group Studios.
This brand-new action adventure is inspired by the New York Times best-selling books and Emmy award-winning Netflix series The Last Kids on Earth, and is available today on Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®, Xbox and Steam.
View the launch trailer here:
In The Last Kids on Earth and the Staff of Doom, fans can immerse themselves in an all-new story, exploring the massive town of Wakefield and taking on hordes of zombies. Play as the series’ legendary heroes Jack, Quint, June and Dirk, as they search for the missing pieces of the ultra-powerful ‘Staff of Doom’ and try to overcome Malondre, the Queen of the Slime Monsters, as she seeks to summon Rezzoch, the Ancient Destructor of Worlds. Players will be able to jump into 1-4 player offline couch co-op mode, which will soon be followed by a patch that will add online multiplayer functionality later this year.
Terry Malham, CEO of Outright Games: ‘’It’s been an incredibly exciting adventure for us becoming a part of The Last Kids on Earth universe. We’ve had the best time working with author Max Brallier and Atomic Cartoons on transporting the amazing characters from the books and TV into an action-packed zombie adventure that’s fun for all the family. We hope players will enjoy it as much as we do.’’
The brand-new game is based on The Last Kids on Earth award-winning animated series from Atomic Cartoons and the books from Penguin Random House, which has sold more than seven million copies in print around the world, in addition to being named to numerous best-selling book lists such as The New York Times, USA Today, and The Wall Street Journal. The first full-color graphic novel, “Thrilling Tales from the Treehouse” published this past April and the seventh installment in the 6 series, THE LAST KIDS ON EARTH AND THE DOOMSDAY RACE publishes September 14, 2021.
Max Brallier, Author of best-selling book series, Netflix Series Creator: “As a lifelong gamer, bringing The Last Kids on Earth to life on consoles and PC is an absolute dream come true. Atomic Cartoons, Cyber Group Studios, Outright Games, and Stage Clear Studios have been incredible partners–and I believe we’ve managed to create something truly special. I’m incredibly excited for fans to interact with the world of Last Kids in an entirely new way – as their favorite characters!”
In addition to the best-selling books, Atomic Cartoons partnered with Brallier on an animated Last Kids Netflix series, which premiered in 2019 with a 66-minute special that won an Emmy Award for “Best Special Class Animation Program.” It was followed by two additional seasons in 2020, and a special interactive episode entitled “Happy Apocalypse to You,” which started streaming on April 6, 2021. To produce the interactive episode, Atomic Cartoons leveraged interactive Netflix technology that requires viewers to make choices using their remote control to advance the story.
The animated series features the voice talents of Mark Hamill, Rosario Dawson, Catherine O’Hara, Keith David, Bruce Campbell, Garland Whitt, Montse Hernandez and Charles Demers, in addition to Nick Wolfhard voicing the lead character Jack Sullivan. Wolfhard, Hernandez, Whitt and Demers will also voice their characters in the upcoming video game.
IP rights for The Last Kids on Earth were acquired in 2017 by Thunderbird Entertainment Group, the parent company of Atomic Cartoons. In addition to the Netflix series and video game, Atomic together with Cyber Group Studios, has also launched a toy and merchandise line based on the series with Jakks Pacific, and a T-Shirt line with Hot Topic.
Matthew Berkowitz, Chief Creative Officer, Atomic Cartoons and Thunderbird Entertainment: “The launch of The Last Kids on Earth and the Staff of Doom marks the start of yet another exciting adventure for the Last Kids universe. Fans will get the chance to jump into the world feet first and immerse themselves in an entirely original storyline crafted top-to-bottom for the video gaming experience. This action-packed adventure is a unique piece of the cannon, yet it still connects back seamlessly to the rest of the universe we all know and love. More than that, it’s a fun, all-ages joyride that brings kids and families together as they play as Jack, June, Quint and Dirk and battle against a brand new villain in Malondre, the Queen of the Slime Monsters!
We’re so thrilled with our partnership with Outright Games and Stage Clear Studios and how authentically Max’s Last Kids universe is portrayed – from the town of Wakefield to the main characters, monsters, zombies and more. We hope fans of the show and books will enjoy it as much as we all loved creating it, and we can’t wait for them to experience it for themselves!”
Dominique Bourse COO and Thierry Braille, Vice President, Interactive and Video Game Division of Cyber Group Studios said: “We are delighted that the collaboration with Atomic Cartoons and Outright Games are resulting into a very compelling game based on The Last Kids on Earth. The combination of this wonderful IP and the great game developed by Outright Games is delivering an amazing video game which will contribute to expand The Last Kids on Earth universe”

The Knockout Round takes place online from June 3rd to 6th and will be available as a 24-hour livestream from June 5th
Events will be available to watch live on Red Bull Twitch andYouTube.
Australia, Thursday 3 June 2021: The Red Bull Campus Clutch knockout finals are on this weekend with Oceania – Australia and New Zealand – to be broadcast on June 5th at 9am (CEST) as university students battle it out for their spot in the prestigious world final in Madrid.
Red Bull Campus Clutch has seen students from more than 50 countries compete across National Qualifier and Final events, with National Finals Winners in regions such as Turkey and Canada securing a state-of-the-art gaming hub for their university. The winning teams of each country will face the next level of competition, an epic global World Final to determine the world’s best student VALORANT team.
The ground-breaking competition challenged players of all levels to team up in groups of five, represent their campus, and compete on the world stage to make history for their university and country. The online event also offered students the opportunity to showcase their skills in one of the hottest character-based tactical first-person shooters (FPS) for PC, where precise gunplay meets unique agent abilities, and understand what it takes to compete professionally.
The Australian National Finals winners took home the ultimate glory and title as Australia’s first Red Bull Campus Clutch victors, along with prizes up to the value of RRP $AU12,500 with each team member receiving an Intel NUC 11 Mini PC, AOC Monitor and SteelSeries peripheral pack.
The Australian winners were Ali Bakhtiari (Prophet) and Minzin Thein (Minzin) from RMIT, Matthew Asido from Chisholm TAFE, Viktor Myszko (Vik) from University of Melbourne and Luis Manfregola (OrangePearl) from Latrobe University. The team, formed about a month before the Australian qualifiers back earlier this year, only met for the first time after their nationals win on April 24. They agree they’re most excited for Oceania to be included on the world stage.
“Playing Internationally is so great, especially since regions like Australia are very undermined and undervalued worldwide. This gives us a good opportunity to represent our region with our individual skills,” says 18-year-old Minzin.
With high-level competition and the world watching, the World Final will give the competitors the chance to experience a professional esports tournament setting. This will be the first opportunity for many of the players to participate in an esports event of this size, competing against teams from across the globe in a live broadcast setting.
The Red Bull Campus Clutch World Final is the pinnacle event of the global student esports tournament. Played out across two stages: the World Final Knockout Round will see National Final winning teams from over 50 countries compete online for a highly coveted placement at the World Final.
