Paradox Interactive is departing from its historical playbook with Afterworld, a grand strategy game set in a post-apocalyptic vision of North America. Rather than drawing from real-world history as the studio typically does across its catalogue, Afterworld shifts toward fictional, wasteland-themed worldbuilding. The game is currently in development for PC, marking a notable genre expansion for Paradox into speculative fiction territory.
- Paradox is stepping away from its signature historical grand strategy formula to explore post-apocalyptic settings with Afterworld.
- The game tasks players with conquest across a ruined North American landscape, blending traditional grand strategy mechanics with dystopian fiction aesthetics.
