Last Train Home

Client: THQ Nordic, Ashborne Games, 2022-2023

For Last Train Home, a strategy video game from Ashborne Games, we’ve created a series of seven gameplay trailers that combine live-action scenes with gameplay footage. In addition to the trailers, we are working on a documentary series about the making of the video game.

The game follows the harrowing journey of Czechoslovak legionnaires of World War I through the Siberian wilderness back to their homeland. The last train from the front takes the crew back home.

The project was financially supported by the Pardubice Region.
