Last Train Home Gets New Demo Before November 28 Launch on PC

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.


THQ Nordic and developer Ashborne Games have revealed a new behind-the-scenes video for Last Train Home, the 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: ImpossibleA Knight's TaleCarnival 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.

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.

The Great War is over - but the fight continues as you command a legion of soldiers desperately trying to make their way home amidst the chaos of civil war in this survival RTS game. Lead them through the unforgiving wilderness onboard an armored train. Manage your crew and resources and try to survive.

  • MANAGE YOUR CREW: Direct your soldiers in their non-combat roles aboard the train. Craft items, heal your wounded, and restore morale for the arduous journey home.
  • UPGRADE YOUR TRAIN: Unlock your armored train’s full potential by upgrading the carriages and locomotive, and oversee important maintenance work to keep it running.
  • JOURNEY THROUGH SIBERIA: Stockpile and trade supplies, make new allies, and overcome crisis after crisis as civil war rages across the vast snowfields of Siberia.
  • BASED ON HISTORICAL EVENTS: Last Train Home is a compelling narrative that portrays the experiences of the Czechoslovak Legion and their valiant fight on behalf of the Entente powers during World War I. You can learn more about the game's historical background on Wikipedia.
