'After the Fall' (ALL) Also Comes to Oculus Quest, Shows Off Co-op Gameplay - Trailer

After the Fall is an epic multiplayer VR action FPS that will bring players into a vast, hostile world with seamless co-op gameplay at its core.

After the Fall combines an unprecedented VR world shared with players worldwide, a cinematic and atmospheric campaign, action-packed solo and multiplayer gameplay, and an endgame built from the ground up for VR.

Set in a frozen, post-apocalyptic Los Angeles, After the Fall pits you and up to three friends against unprecedented, huge waves of monstrous, undead creatures known as the Snowbreed. And when I say huge, I don’t just mean in numbers; you’ll be facing off against some of VR’s most colossal brutes and repulsive deformities.

In an alternate 1980s, the age of decadence and delight, humanity started experimenting with a new type of designer drugs to elevate the human potential beyond known limits.

Meanwhile, the planet suffered: climate change ran hot and cold to extremes, resulting in a new ice age. To cope with the cold, people only consumed more drugs which led to horrible mutations – the deadly Snowbreed. Now, 20 years later, Los Angeles lies in ruins and survivors are clinging to life in a frozen city roaming with mutated terrors.

With the Oculus Quest version scheduled to launch simultaneously with the already announced PC VR and PlayStation VR versions in Summer 2021, After the Fall will support cross-platform multiplayer between all platforms.

“Right from the start, our biggest goal with After the Fall has been to deliver VR players a 1980s inspired post-apocalyptic co-op shooter romp for them to take on together with friends - regardless of the platforms they play on - and we can’t wait to hear what players will think of the first glimpse at the action gameplay we’ve revealed today,” said Trevor Blom, Technical Director at Vertigo Games. “Each of the VR platforms that After the Fall is developed for comes with its own opportunities and challenges, and having added Oculus Quest into the mix with uncompromised gameplay is a technical achievement that I am incredibly proud of.”

Armed with full VR motion controls, players will venture out into enemy territory in teams of four, or accompanied by AI companions, wielding an arsenal of unique and deadly weapons in the face of hordes of Snowbreed - ferocious undead creatures that have driven humanity below ground - all in order to secure mankind’s survival for another day.

In your fight for survival you’ll wield a wide variety of weapons. Will you rush to the frontlines with your electrified knuckleduster and custom handgun ready to take down hordes of Snowbreed? Or would you rather stay back and use your hunting rifle with explosive ammo to take down the hulking brutes? It’s up to you.

On top of this, you’ll be able to unleash devastating attacks using crafted devices, such as a volley of missiles from a wrist-mounted ’80s walkman-turned-rocket launcher. Crafting and customising weapons and gear requires resources and blueprints found throughout the world, which you’ll take back with you to the basecamp for use.

Speaking of basecamp; this is a shared hub where you’ll run into other players from all over the world, hang out and interact with them in VR, form a party of up to four players to go on a new mission, and more. But you can also decide to play the game by yourself – the difficulty will scale accordingly. Though I personally feel playing with friends is more fun, especially in VR!
