The Last Kids on Earth and the Staff of Doom will be released on June 4, 2021
Today, Outright Games, the leading publisher of family-friendly interactive entertainment, together with Atomic Cartoons (the Kids & Family division of Thunderbird Entertainment) and developer Stage Clear Studios, announced that The Last Kids on Earth and the Staff of Doom will be releasing on June 4, 2021. This new action-adventure game takes place in the universe of the best-selling, Emmy award-winning The Last Kids on Earth.
In The Last Kids on Earth and the Staff of Doom, fans can immerse themselves in a new story where they must explore the city of Wakefield and take on hordes of zombies. Take on the role of the series’ legendary heroes: Jack, Quint, June, and Dirk, as they search for the missing pieces of the immensely powerful Staff of Doom as they take on Malondre Queen of the Slime Monsters, who tries to evoke Rezzoch, the Ancient Destructor of Worlds. On release, players can play up to four players in the offline couch co-op mode. A patch will add online multiplayer afterward.
The all-new game is based on Penguin Random House’s The Last Kids on Earth book series, which has sold more than five million printed copies around the world. In addition, the series has been mentioned in numerous best-selling book lists, including those of The New York Times, USA Today, and The Wall Street Journal.
In addition to the best-selling books, an animated Last Kids Netflix series premiered in 2019 with a 66-minute special that won an Emmy Award for ‘Best Special Class Animation Program’. It was followed by two additional seasons in 2020, and a special interactive episode entitled “Happy Apocalypse to You” that can be streamed from April 6, 2021. The interactive episode uses interactive Netflix technology that requires viewers to make choices with their remote to advance the story.
With such high praises for both the book and Netflix series, how can you not look forward to the video game? The Last Kids on Earth and the Staff of Doom will be released on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam on June 4, 2021, with pre-orders available now here: https://outrightgames.com/us/games/the-last -kids-on-earth/
