In 2021, a group of former Trials developers in Finland embarked on a new journey by founding Channel37. Now, after four years of dedicated work, their first game, The Last Caretaker, has been released in early access for PC on both Steam and the Epic Games Store.
New Horizons in Survival Gaming
The Last Caretaker offers players a unique survival building and crafting experience. As a caretaker robot, players awaken in a submerged world, tasked with reviving and upgrading a ship to embark on a mission to save humanity. This underwater adventure requires gathering resources, enhancing the ship, and ultimately reaching the goal of human salvation.
Exciting Updates on the Horizon
Accompanying the early access launch is a detailed roadmap unveiled by Channel37. The first major update, expected by year-end, will bring exciting additions such as new modules, night vision, a new node questline, warehouses, caves, and even a basketball game. Looking ahead to 2026, the studio plans to release four major updates across the year, paving the way for the game’s 1.0 launch, expected next year. Channel37 aims to release the full version of The Last Caretaker by 2026.
Technological Enhancements and Availability
For those looking to dive into The Last Caretaker, it is available on Steam and the Epic Games Store. Players are encouraged to update their graphics drivers as NVIDIA has confirmed support for DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation and Super Resolution. Additionally, the game is accessible via NVIDIA’s GeForce NOW for those who prefer cloud gaming.
