Surviving the Aftermath, a new survival colony builder game by Iceflake Studios, has entered its early acess stage for both PC and Xbox One. The official Paradox Interactive YouTube channel has uploaded an announcement trailer that shows different environments of the game as well as its core gameplay.
The game is developed by Iceflake Studios and distributed by Paradox Interactive. You can find the game in the Epic Games Store and the Xbox Game Preview with a full release for every digital platform in 2020. Here is some information on the game from the distributor itself:
In Surviving the Aftermath, players will build and manage a colony of survivors in the shadow of a world-ending event. Resources are scarce following the apocalypse, and survival requires mastery of complex systems to optimize production and colony management to ensure nothing is wasted. Players will construct buildings, manage colonists, adapt to natural disasters and more in an effort to restore civilization.
Surviving the Aftermath is more than a colony builder and enables players to go beyond the shelter to explore a dangerous world filled with unique biomes, hazards, bandits, and more. Recruit and send out teams of Specialists to gather resources and intelligence about the world around the colony. Players can see what their teams have discovered by utilizing a vast overworld map that adds layers of strategic gameplay not typically included in a colony builder.
Key Features

Survival is my Specialty: Recruit over 46 unique Specialists, each with their own skills and motivations, to manage your colony’s resources and production. Send them beyond the Gate on scientific missions, scavenger runs, and to fight bandits.
Expect the Unexpected: Life in the aftermath requires you to make moral choices. You may not be able to control everything in your colony, but how you respond to situations and emergent events will shape the character of your new civilization.
Mods: Surviving the Aftermath players can bring their own visions to life using Paradox Mods.
As you can see, this game is all about suriving, constructing and building a colony in a world that seems it is about to be destroyed. This game will act as a sequel of sorts to the Surviving Mars game. The story line will continue and players familiar with the first title will be able to connect plot points.
