Paradox Interactive announces Afterworld, a brand-new Grand Strategy Game from Paradox Development Studio coming soon to PC platforms. Set in an original post-apocalyptic North America crawling with hazardous terrain, dangerous old-world ruins, and the desperate remnants of humanity, players will face strategic challenges and moral crises as they guide a handful of survivors on the path to building a continent-spanning empire.
Emerge from the ruins into a new age in Afterworld, a new Grand Strategy Game with a deep, story-rich post-apocalyptic setting from Paradox Development Studio, the creators of Crusader Kings III and Hearts of Iron IV. Band your survivors together, define the spirit of your tribe, and establish your empire in a game that is easy to learn but difficult to survive, growing from a small-scale, approachable beginning to a strategic experience as rich and complex as you have come to expect from Paradox games.
“Afterworld is Paradox’s first non-historical setting in a decade, and I can’t wait to see what stories our players will tell with it,” said Dan Lind, Game Director of Afterworld at Paradox Development Studio. “This is the first world we’ve gotten to build from scratch in a long time, and the first one we’ve had the pleasure of destroying before the game starts. The old world is still out there in fragments, waiting to be found. What comes after it is entirely up to the players.”
Afterworld starts players in a procedurally generated North American wasteland, creating a new strategic sandbox full of emergent stories in every playthrough. Players will face the initial challenges of scavenging food, water, and shelter, while rediscovering the basic methods of civilization, then the difficult choices of defining laws and ethics for their growing tribe, and ultimately come head-to-head with other growing empires to decide the fate of the continent.
