The Open Beta Is Live

It's been quiet around here. That's not because we stopped, but because we've been heads-down building the version of Afterglow we actually wanted to put in front of you.

That version is ready. The Afterglow open beta is live, and the world of the post-apocalyptic American Southwest is waiting for you!

What's waiting out there

Seventy-seven years after the sky tore open, the wasteland has more in it than ever. Here's what you're stepping into:

Gear and loot

  • 1,000+ items to find, craft, and trade
  • 11 weapon types across 3 tiers
  • 5 armor types across 3 tiers
  • 200+ skins to make your survivor your own

Become who you want to be

  • 50+ skills to master, leveled through use, not your wallet
  • Build a trader, a warrior, an explorer, or something in between

The world

  • 24 enemies prowling the wastes, each with their own tricks
  • 40+ resource nodes to gather and salvage
  • 5 factions, each with their own tasks, store, and rewards
  • Points of interest scattered across the map for those who go looking

The story begins

The first chapters of the main quest arc are in. The night the world ended, something else opened up there. Start pulling on that thread.

Systems that connect you

  • Clans, so you don't have to do this alone
  • A mail service for staying in touch and moving goods
  • Leaderboards to prove that you are better than everybody else

One thing to know going in

Characters will be wiped when the beta ends. Everything you build now is for the test, not for keeps. So go hard, break things, tell us what's broken. That's what this is for.
