Positive news to share…
As many of you already know, the development of new content had to be put on pause due to
lack of funding. It is no secret that Last Year didn’t sell a huge amount of copies, and
unfortunately this caused a problem where there wasn’t enough money to pay a team to
continue making updates.
But today we are announcing a potential new opportunity for the updates to keep coming.
But first…
We want to thank all of you who have been true fans of the game and offered positive support.
We want to let you know that even though this has been a difficult uphill battle, we *still* have
committed team members who want to keep developing and releasing new content updates.
There are multiple maps, fiends, and other awesome new features that were in the pipeline
that are waiting to be finished and released. In order to do this we need to find creative ways to
make it happen.
To celebrate this year’s Halloween and the anniversary of the Last Year Discord beta exactly
two years ago, we are announcing that Last Year: The Nightmare is coming to Steam for the
very first time and it is available to buy now.
Previously a Discord-only exclusive, this Classic Edition is the true OG version of the game,
complete with the original open-style maps like classic gym, no cryptids, original matchmaking,
and original game mechanics for Strangler, and much more. We also added new updates like a
balancing pass for the Killers and Survivors and Steam achievements like the infectious Covid-
96. If you die from someone who has this achievement, you become infected with it then you
can pass it on by killing others. Go try it! But remember to wear your mask in the real world
cause Covid-19 sucks!
We wanted to bring you the original Last Year in its truest form so we’ve also given this version
the ORIGINAL look and feel from the early days. The original poster, logo, and design have all
been included, plus we’ve also made an official soundtrack and official art book that showcases
the process that went into creating the original game.
With enough proceeds from the classic edition, we could Resurrect ongoing content and keep making maps and features, and hopefully still bring it to platforms like Xbox and PlayStation. Devs are here and excited and ready to make awesome cool new stuff, we just need the resources.
We hope you’ll join us on this nostalgic trip back to OG Last Year: The Nightmare and we look
forward to seeing how you spread Covid-96 through Forest Hills.
