Asymmetrical Horror Game ‘Last Year’ Relaunching as Free-To-Play Today! [Trailer]

In spite of the initial mixed reception to their asymmetrical horror game Last Year, developer Undaunted Games aren’t giving up on the game or its community. Picking up from where the now-defunct Elastic Games left off, Last Year is relaunching today on Steam as a free-to-play title with purchasable cosmetics.

Set in a gruesome alternate reality, Last Year is a collaborative, asynchronous PvP horror game pitting five high-school classmates against a sixth player controlling a nightmarish beast. Players either attempt to escape as one the high school students, or take on the role of one of the Fiends – a variety of player-controlled monsters each with its own unique attacks, combat styles, and abilities that can tear the classmates into pieces.

Team up with your friends, choose from different classes of characters, and work on your strategy if you want to make it back in one piece. Keep exploring and surviving to unlock new weapons and arcane abilities, as you strive for the edge in the endless fight between humanity and its worst fears.

Commenting on the relaunch of Last Year, Undaunted Games Studio Head and Producer Matthew Itovitch said: “We’ve always believed in the potential of this title. When we did the marketing for the game at PAX East and West in 2018, we saw the reactions from players, and also what this game could be. Last Year definitely deserves another shot at realizing that, and bringing back the game is the first step.”

Alexander Halchuk, former Technical Director at Elastic Games, added: “I’m glad to see Last Year getting another opportunity to be enjoyed by our dedicated fans. Our team created a really unique experience with Last Year and there’s a lot of unexplored ideas and potential with the game. I’m sure Undaunted understands this and they’ll make the right choices to improve and expand on what we’ve built.”
