'The Last Worker' Will Also Be Coming To PSVR 2 In 2023 - Trailer

by Rainier on Dec. 7, 2022 @ 8:55 a.m. PST

The Last Worker is a first-person narrative adventure centered around humanity's struggle in an increasingly automated world, where humans are being replaced by robots.

Set in a lonely, oppressive but strangely beautiful environment, The Last Worker is a unique blend of first-person narrative, work simulation and stealth strategy game play.

Combining a hand crafted art style with uniquely immersive gameplay mechanics in an epic setting, The Last Worker delivers an emotional, thought provoking and comedic story packaged with rich characters.

Featuring uniquely immersive gameplay, handcrafted 3D and 2D visuals based on concepts by comics legend Mick McMahon and a multi-instrumental score, The Last Worker features intense performances from an all-star cast (to be announced in early September).

Publisher Wired Productions, Writer/Director Jörg Tittel and pioneering independent games studio Wolf & Wood are thrilled to unveil a brand-new Christmas advert from the Jüngle Corporation, the largest online retailer dominating the increasingly automated world of The Last Worker

In addition, The Last Worker is now confirmed for PlayStation VR2, alongside Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Meta Quest 2 in 2023.

Publisher Wired Productions confirmed that players won’t need to pay for an upgrade. Players who buy the game on PS5 will receive both versions – and the save files and progress carry over between them – meaning if wannabe dispatchers spend the morning fully immersed in the PSVR2 world of JFC-1, but want to quickly get a shift in later without setting up your VR kit, they can carry on playing on their TV in true flat-packed mode.

In addition, Wired Productions are pleased to announce the Jüngle Pronto physical edition of The Last Worker, which will be available later in 2023 and features a reversible sleeve, Jüngle stickers and a double-sided poster.

“Like his real world counterparts, Mr. Jüngle has a lot to be merry about,” said Writer, Director Jörg Tittel, whose company, Oiffy, is producing the game. “If only the fact that he’s raking in billions while hordes of increasingly dehumanized workers struggle to get that superhero themed electric toothbrush head to you on time. Naturally we couldn’t let him get all the $$$, so we’ve been crafting this cynical product for you to consume. Happy Capitalist Ho Ho Horror!”

"You embody Kurt, a big man, with a big beard, who delivers 'presents' on a flying scooter." said Ryan Bousfield, Creative Director at Wolf & Wood, "Although you have robots instead of reindeer, it's testament to the immersive power of VR that such an unusual and stylized world still feels 'real' when you're in there!"
