The Last Caretaker Unveiled Three Compelling Trailers Amid Its Summer of Caretaking

What a week it’s been for the gaming industry! Among all the summer showcase reveals and announcements, Finnish developer Channel37 released three new trailers for its upcoming seafaring survival action game, The Last Caretaker.

At The MIX, the team kicked off the “Summer of Caretaking” by debuting new gameplay footage and accolades from some of the planet’s most ~correct~ humans. So far, we’ve seen that the “Wall-E with a gun” comparison resonated very well with the community.

Next, during the PC Gaming Show, Channel37 onboarded players to the initiative of preserving and propagating the human species, the primary objective of The Last Caretaker:

TALON INDUSTRIES & ROBOTICS — the world-renowned conglomerate taking care of your dreams!™ since 1947 — introduces us to the AUTONOMOUS CARETAKER UNIT MODEL TC-250. In Chapter 01 of this visual instructional manual, you’ll learn how your caretaker unit will ensure the future of humankind as our planet becomes increasingly saturated and uninhabitable. As a vital part of the MOSES Human Seed Program, you and your caretaker will facilitate the acquisition of cryogenically frozen embryos, the growth of human seeds into adults optimized for space life within patented MOSES Lazarus Rack pods, and their transport to orbital MOSES Colonies for integration into a thriving society among the stars!

Finally, Channel37 shared a fresh glimpse into some of The Last Caretaker’s forgotten interiors and haunting landscapes where echoes of humanity's past and monuments to dreams never realized remain. The IGN Live trailer showcased just a few of the environments and landmarks players will discover as they sail across this ocean that claims all but memories. This may be a journey to sail alone, but this world refuses to stay silent. It brings players closer to the truth — the answer to what it will take to bring humanity back from the brink of extinction…
