After Us is launching this May

Private Division and developer Piccolo Studios have announced that After Us, an adventure game set is “a surrealistic post-human world” will be coming to PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on May 23, 2023.

In After Us, players control Gaia, the Spirit of Life, searching for life remaining in a world ravaged by environmental disaster. Gaia will journey across Earth to find the souls of extinct animals and learn of the final fate.

Gaia will also need to avoid the “oil-covered Devourers that roam the wasteland in search of remaining life.”

After Us

According to Private Division and Piccolo Studios, key features are;

  • Gaia’s journey: the last animals have died, and Mother has used all of her Life Force to save their souls, now trapped in their vessels. Gaia’s quest is to rescue each of their souls and bring them back to Mother’s Ark. Gaia’s traversal abilities will allow you to glide, jump, and dash to explore new areas and evade deadly traps, while her special gifts will grant you the power to clear the oil that consumes the world, face hungry Devourers, and break souls free.  
  • A vast, surrealistic world: see through Gaia’s eyes the desolated landscapes that depict the destructive relationships between humans and nature in a beautiful demonstration of abstract artistry. From dying forests to the heart of crumbling cities, through the dry seabed and polluted skies, each environment will offer new challenges for Gaia to face and will present her different versions of the Devourers’ wake of destruction as she spreads life and beauty on her path.
  • A story of contrasts: After Us offers a somber look at a world decimated by human impact. As you guide Gaia’s light through it and discover the causes behind the destruction, you will learn the fate of the Devourers as agents of extinction, but also agents of progress, love, and hope.

After Us will be available on May 23, 2023.
