THQ Nordic and developer Ashborne Games have revealed a new behind-the-scenes video for Last Train Home, the recently revealed survival RTS in which players must lead a group of Czechoslovakian soldiers home in the aftermath of World War I. The video provides a closer look at the creation of the game’s live-action reveal trailer, which aired during the PC Gaming Show and features both real actors (including award-winning Czech actor Karel Dobrý [Mission: Impossible, A Knight’s Tale, Carnival Row] as Captain Langer) and game developers acting as soldiers. The trailer also showcases accurate replicas of trains, weapons, clothing and relics from the World War I era.
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.
