Paradox Announces Post-Apocalyptic Survival Grand Strategy Game Afterworld

Paradox Interactive has officially announced Afterworld, a new post-apocalyptic grand strategy survival game from Paradox Development Studio, the creators of Crusader Kings III and Hearts of Iron IV. Details about the title had previously surfaced early after an error on the company’s official forum.

The project is framed as a grand strategy survival title set in the ruins of the collapsed old world. To establish a burgeoning empire, players must first “ensure the survival of the survivors” by gathering vital resources, including water, fuel, and food, while scouting a procedurally generated map of North America.

Players can already add Afterworld to their Steam wishlist. The development team has not yet announced a specific release date or launch window on the store page.
