Trailers, screenshots, and information about Afterglow.
Afterglow
A post-apocalyptic sandbox MMORPG set in the American Southwest, 77 years after the 1988 nuclear war. Something else opened in the sky that night, and the world has been learning what it left behind ever since.
Designed for players whose lives don't pause for game timers: queue actions for your character to gather, craft, fight, and explore even when you're offline. Check in when life allows.
Choose your path as trader, warrior, or explorer. Skill-based progression means you define your playstyle. No pay-to-win. No artificial scarcity. Just a wasteland that keeps moving.
