10 New Post-Apocalyptic Games Coming 2023 And Beyond

Ark 2

Following the widely popular predecessor, “Ark: Survival Evolved”, Ark 2 will continue the prehistoric survival landscape. Considering Ark is not in the best of states for dedicated servers, the release of a sequel couldn’t come sooner for Ark fanatics.

The story will take place after the last DLC of the first game and will be set on a distant alien planet. VIn DIesel will be set to play the hero character, Santiago which evidently boosted the popularity of the release.

Ark 2 is set for a 2024 release window.

Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon

The sixth instalment to the Armored Core franchise has taken a different approach to gameplay. Developed by the infamous From Software, the creators behind the Dark Souls series. Armored Core VI is a mecha-based Souls Like where players control and customise mechs to fight large bosses.

Armored Core VI was released on the 25th of August 2023.

Death Stranding 2

Death Stranding was a strange and unorthodox release unsurprisingly concocted by the mind of Hideo Kojima. Although the game had a mixed response, albeit considering its slow gameplay and unusual mechanics, the game had enough love to spur on a sequel.

The sequel is a direct continuation of the story set after a time skip where we see an older Sam Porter. The main question spurring from the sequel: “Should we have connected?”

Death Stranding 2 does not have a current release date.

Frostpunk 2

Frostpunk 2 is a sequel to the award-winning survival game. It had aspects of city building, survival and management all bundled into one package.

The Sequel will take place 30 years after an apocalyptic storm where the player will have to build an empire surrounded by infinite frost.

Frostpunk 2 is set for a 2024 release window.

Ghostrunner 2

Ghostunner was a fast paced, slasher set in a post-apocalyptic setting where you play as a robot. The game had several speedy weapons and abilities. This was coupled with a mechanic where you die if you get hit once, it’s no wonder this had a positive reception with a niche market.

The sequel will be more of this but with new settings, a larger budget and a motorbike.

Ghostunner 2 is set for October 26th 2023 and has a demo out right now!

Pacific Drive
