If you’ve pre-ordered the game on Steam , you are now able to jump into the frozen streets of Los Angeles! We’re counting on you and to tidy up the place to welcome your fellow Harvest Runners on the PlayStation VR, Oculus and Viveport platforms on December 9 for some epic cross-platform co-op action.

Check out the launch trailer below!



It has been a long journey so far for the development team and the response to the reviews has been absolutely amazing. We have a lot more planned for After the Fall, and your feedback has also been reported to the development team and we’ll keep you up to date on what we’ll be fixing over the next few months.

Speaking of the next few months...



Here's what we got in store for you in the Frontrunner Season, available for free to all players! We'll reveal more details as we take you along on our journey. Until then, we've got another thing for you early birds:



You’re welcome to join our official Discord Server and participate in sharing your thoughts, feedback and stories with your fellow Harvest Runners and the development team.

On behalf of the team of Vertigo Games, I’m very excited to welcome you into our ranks, and will be at your service to ensure your budding career as a Harvest Runner will be as action-packed and rewarding as possible.

Until we meet in-game, stay frosty.

Hi everyone! TamTu from the Community team at Vertigo Games here! For After the Fall, we’re so close to launch, SO CLOSE! Being able to tell you more about the game is very exciting and we can’t wait to see you in the game when it comes out next week on December 9, so let’s jump into what this means for all you prospective Harvest Runners!

Besides the 4-player co-op PvE content that is at the core of After the Fall, we recently unveiled the “Tundradome” arena as an extra activity where players can duke it out in 4v4 Team Deathmatch PVP! Some of you may have tried it out during the PlayTest already. We know from experience that playing with friends isn’t always peachy (I’m a pretty try-hard casual raider), so having the option to vent out any lingering frustrations is exactly what the Tundradome offers.

Previously part of combat training, the discovery of humans being able to get revived via boosters and prolong their lives has led to a darker form of entertainment.



Whether it’s to take out frustration or relieve tensions between Harvest Runners, they are invited to keep their skills sharp against opponents that aren’t as predictable as the Snowbreed. If they dare, Runners can settle debates with live ammo in the Tundradome. Harvest Runners from all over Los Angeles gather here to test their skill and for the survivors, combatants, and non-combatants alike, these neo-gladiatorial battles are the contact sport of this era.

Broadcast to the different hubs, it is flavored with spectacle, and it is a chance for Harvest Runners to become legends of the arena.

At launch, After the Fall will launch with 2 Tundradome arenas for fast-paced player-vs-player combat in Team Deathmatch. You can jump into a lobby via the social hub’s enlisting machines either solo, where you’ll be matchmade with other players, or go in with a pre-made squad of 4 to slay against another team.

Players have full agency on how they want to fill up an 8-player lobby, be it friends-only or random players running around in our 32-player social hub. You will also be able to matchmake against Harvest Runners on other supported platforms via crossplay!

Players are stripped from their equipment and spawn each match with the basic Service Pistol. It’s then up to you to find other weapons around the map before your opponent does, to gain the advantage. Whichever team reaches the elimination target (or has the most eliminations before time runs out) wins the match!

The Tundradome will be expanded upon with more modes and maps post-launch, and we hope you’ll enjoy jumping into this mode for a change of pace in After the Fall. Your feedback will be incredibly valuable to us to shape the future of PVP in this game.

Check out some of the videos that came out of last weekend's Playtest!

Happy Thanksgiving! Let’s be thankful for everyone who will be teaming up with you in the After the Fall Playtest, now live on Steam!

The Playtest will run until November 27th 11:59PM and give you access to the game’s first Harvest mission, crafting and Team Deathmatch PVP in the Tundradome!



We are also opening our official Discord server for playtesters so if you have any feedback for the devs, please leave them in the Discord or here on the ATF Steam Community Hub!

We're excited to see how many of you will jump on and our team is gearing up to keep a close look at what you'll be up to in the playtest. Our Community Manager TamTu will be joining in Tundradome lobbies as well during this time to see how you all stack up as prospective Harvest Runners.

Today we have an important message about the release date of After the Fall.

Unfortunately we have made the necessary decision to push the multi-platform release of After the Fall on PlayStation VR, Oculus Quest 2 and PC VR to later this year. In addition to this, we have decided to split off the launch on the original Oculus Quest to 2022.

We know you are looking forward to playing After the Fall and we are truly sorry for the delay.

With After the Fall, we have set ourselves the ultimate goal of bringing you the best possible 4-player co-op experience in VR. To ensure a smooth multi-platform launch with cross-platform support, we are giving our development team the time they need to finalize their work.

After the Fall is our most ambitious VR title to date, developed from the ground up for three widely divergent VR gaming platforms. Under the hood, our team has extensively worked on developing the necessary infrastructure to ensure that you can experience the game together seamlessly, regardless of the platform you play on.

Throughout the upcoming months we’ll have more info ready for you, including an update about the beta and more. After the Fall is well on its way towards completion and this extra time will help our team deliver the best 4-player co-op experience we can offer.

We cannot wait to share After the Fall with you and we value your support and patience while we work towards launch. It will only be the beginning of what we have in store for you.

On behalf of the Vertigo Games development team,
Creative Director
Richard Stitselaar

Hi everyone, it’s TamTu on the Vertigo Games community team again! Hot off the UploadVR showcase, we talked a bit more about how the game lets you and your friends from other platforms play together.

Have a look!



The game is designed to keep the hordes coming at you varied, be it the overwhelming numbers, or multiple special enemies on the prowl for you and your friends. Every session you play will be different when it comes to enemies and rewards, thanks to our game director. The difficulty can be ramped up as well manually, but that’s something we’ll talk about another time!

CROSSPLAY

Compatible with full multiplayer platform support, our development team’s main focus was to ensure that the core gameplay remains the same for each player. Having After the Fall developed in such a way that all platforms are in parity with each other was no easy task. By parity we mean that everything, from the enemies and your squad, to the surroundings and the fights, it all needs to be in the same spot and act the same for everyone you play with. All that’s left for you to worry about is to assemble your squad, have everyone play together and shoot some brutal enemies!

Recently we also shared a variety of details on the enemies and combat that await you in After the Fall. Together with an enemies-packed video, we went over several different types of weapons and mutated Snowbreed. If you haven’t seen this one yet, I highly suggest you to go have a look to get yourself ready for all the shooting action that lies ahead of you.

This is only the beginning, so definitely keep your eyes open for more! Want to prep for the most intense VR apocalypse experience, and take the city’s future into your hands? Round up your friends, head on over to the official website and subscribe to the newsletter to stay up-to-date on everything After the Fall.

As always, stay frosty!

Hi everyone, it’s TamTu from the Vertigo Games community team. I’m here to let you in on the latest news about After the Fall. Have a look at some more details on the special Snowbreed and some of the weapons you'll be using against them.



How are you going to take these mutated Snowbreed down, you ask? Well first off, you need to listen to your team and work together in order to stay ahead of your enemies. Secondly, we got you covered with an arsenal of weapons!

In After the Fall, you’ll get to use a variety of handguns, shotguns, rifles and more. The better you become at being a Harvest Runner, the more powerful weapons are that you’ll be able to get. You can customize these weapons to your liking with the use of resources found throughout the city, so go out into the cold, scavenge the area and fight your way towards the survival of humanity.






This has only been the tip of the iceberg! We’ll be back with more information on After the Fall in the near future. For the time being, put your squad together and be sure to wishlist the game at afterthefall-vr.com.

Stay frosty! TamTu, out.
