The Last Worker has been revealed by Wired Productions, Oiffy, and Wolf & Wood, with the game heading to PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and Meta Quest 2 later this year. The game places you in the shoes of an employee in the fictional online retailer Jungle, who works in the fulfilment centre JC1. The centre is 650 million square miles big and occupies the same space as Manhattan, which in this world has submerged under the waves of the Atlantic. The Last Worker is a narrative game in which players will go through the JC1, which has been the subject of a tour by Jungle CEO Josef Jüngle. However, what is soon apparent is that something is going quite wrong in this fulfilment centre as the machines start to turn on the human workers. What follows is a lot of death and it seems as The Last Worker you will have to survive and figure out what is happening. “The Last Worker is a true labour of love and I’m lucky to be working with the best creative talent money can’t buy,” said Writer, Director and Producer Jörg Tittel. “With people like these, one can’t help but deliver the goods, but should we fail, I hope Mr. Jüngle can give me a job?” “We have all become attached to the characters in The Last Worker. Seeing them transition from Mick McMahon’s sketches and then brought to life by such amazing actors has been a fantastic process to be a part of.” Said Ryan Bousfield, Creative Director of Wolf & Wood. “I’m extremely proud of the innovative approach taken by our team to create a rich and exciting world that is as immersive on screen as it is in VR. We’re looking forward to showing you the first elements of gameplay.” “The Last Worker is a truly unique experience, and we are proud to support both the innovative work of Jörg Tittel and the multi-talented indie studio Wolf & Wood in creating this awe-inspiring title,” said Leo Zullo, Managing Director, Wired Productions. “We are excited to formally introduce players to Jüngle and the epic Fulfilment Centre in which the game is set. The intense, surprising, and heartfelt story is one that we cannot wait to share later this year.” The Last Worker will include a number of different endings dependent on the choices players make throughout the story. It will star Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, Jason Isaacs, Clare-Hope Ashitey, and David Hewlett, plus more to be announced. The music has been scored by Oliver Kraus who has worked with the likes of Adele, Sia, and Florence and The Machine. Source: Press Release
