VR CO-OP SURVIVAL ACTION FPS AFTER THE FALL® LAUNCHES TODAY, FRONTRUNNER SEASON DETAILS ANNOUNCED

‘Tis the season of slaying! Get together for the holidays through seamless 4-player co-op in VR

Theale, UK December 10th 2021 - Vertigo Games, the VR specialist publishing and development arm of the global Koch Media Group, today officially launch their VR co-op survival action FPS After the Fall on Meta Quest 2, PlayStation VR and Steam. After the Fall is the next major VR game from the creators of Arizona Sunshine® and joins players across platforms in intense 4-player co-op and PvP action across the frozen remains of an 1980s inspired LA.

Launch is just the beginning: In a newly released post-launch roadmap image, Vertigo Games revealed details for the first Frontrunner Season, which will be available free of charge for all players as part of the After the Fall - Launch Edition, and includes four new maps including the “Hollywood Boulevard” Harvest Run and the “Warehouse” PvP arena, new game modes, new weapons and devices, player features and more. Beyond that, Vertigo Games plans to keep expanding the world of After the Fall for all players.

“The world we started development of After the Fall in before the pandemic, and the world we are launching it in now, could not be more different. So is VR gaming. It’s grown from a niche market to one that is ready to go big,” said Richard Stitselaar, CEO at Vertigo Games. “Our ambitions have grown with it. After the Fall gives VR gamers the opportunity to connect with friends new and old across platforms, squad up and start their journey. And launch is just the beginning. We plan to expand the world of After the Fall for all players with more content & features for a long time to come.”
 
With intense 4-player co-op at its core, After the Fall offers action-packed co-op gameplay, built from the ground up for VR.  Starting out in a shared space with up to 32 other players across all platforms, players venture out into the remains of post-apocalyptic LA in squads of four, wielding weapons with real-life movements. To stay ahead of their enemies and fuel mankind’s survival for another day, players scavenge undead-infested LA, with new discoveries lurking around every corner. When they’re ready, the competitive Tundradome awaits them.
 
Developed by Vertigo Studios (Arizona Sunshine) and published by Vertigo Games, After the Fall - Launch Edition is launching on December 9 for Quest 2, PlayStation and Steam for an SRP of £29,99, with a Deluxe Edition on PlayStation VR and Steam for an SRP of £44,99. A release on the original Quest will follow at a later date.
