Last Summer
Take a trip to Last Summer and see how a new horror multiplayer game will help frighten us all during Last Summer
A new multiplayer horror is on the way to us for the PC, as Last Summer takes a shot at filling in the holes of the asymmetrical horror genre. A genre that has been flooded with, some with major IPs attached, but also many that are more on the indie side, as Silent Lamb Studio is. It’s a bit of a climb to get up, but the team is taking a shot and giving us that classic summer camp feel to it all. If the name didn’t give it away already, Last Summer is another set in the mountains with campers and a killer at a summer camp. That’s, at least, where my mind goes when I hear that, and the following reveal video we have for the game confirms all of that. Let’s take a stab at what the game is going to bring to us all when it is ready.
Just as many other titles in the genre that Last Summer is entering, we are going to be taking on the role of a Killer or a Camper in the game. All with the goals of kill or survive, respectively. All in the fun new location of Silent Lamb Camp, I see what the team did there… As the following video shows, it was a carefree trip until the Killer came smashing in with a ghost train. That is where the hunt will begin, with the Killer having a few supernatural ways to stalk down the prey. That Campers will then need to rally in Last Summer to escape the area or fight back against this new evil in the world. All with the usual items we have grown to expect over the years in these kinds of games. The finer details are a little sparse on all of that. Outside of all of that, we have a fun look at the Killer and one of the Campers, Alice, in the following reveal video that the team has put out there.
Last Summer — Reveal
Silent Lamb Studio is thrilled to reveal Last Summer, a blood-chilling multiplayer horror experience coming to PC via Steam. Built around a unique asymmetrical gameplay system, players will either step into the role of a relentless killer, stalking the shadows and hunting down their prey, or fight for survival as part of a group of campers, where teamwork, instinct, and fear are all that stand between life and a brutal end.
What begins as a carefree getaway quickly descends into terror. A group of friends arrives at Silent Lamb Camp ahead of the summer season, filling their nights with laughter, alcohol, and ghost stories around the campfire. But when the tale of a masked killer, said to arrive on a ghostly train and leave nothing but blood and silence behind, turns out to be more than just a story, their final night becomes a desperate fight to survive.
In Last Summer, players must hunt or be hunted. As the killer, your objective is simple: stalk, isolate, and eliminate every last victim. As a camper, survival depends on teamwork, quick thinking, and making the most of every opportunity to escape. With multiple routes to freedom, dynamic encounters, and constant tension, no two matches play out the same, and every decision could be your last.
The nightmare unfolds in unpredictable ways thanks to a range of systems designed to keep every session fresh and brutal. Each survivor will have set stats that directly impact gameplay and create meaningful variation between matches, and players can cosmetically customise their survivors’ skins using the character tool. Campers can equip items, fight back, and coordinate their escape, while killers can unleash visceral execution moves and strike fear into their prey. Set in a completely original universe, Last Summer delivers a fresh take on asymmetrical horror, built around community-driven design at its core.
How do you feel about getting another asymmetrical horror game in the world? How will Last Summer stand out from other titles like it? Will the Killer just feel like a knock-off version of other summer camp slashers? Besides being the mascot, why do you suspect that there is a lamb in the mix of all of this? Let’s have all of that discussion in the comment section further down the page here. I’m intrigued by Last Summer, since it isn’t beholden to an IP, but I’m still not sold on it. We’ll see how that all progresses when more information comes out. To see all of that, please keep coming back to the site, and follow all of our socials to be alerted when all of that creeps out of the darkness.
