Press release:
22 SEPTEMBER 2020 – Developer Con Artist Games and publisher Armor Games Studios are delighted to announce “The Last Stand: Aftermath“, the latest in a series which began with the beloved flash game The Last Stand in 2007.

The Last Stand: Aftermath aims to break completely new ground when it launches on PC in 2021, offering a fresh roguelite take on the series, whilst retaining the atmosphere that made the original so striking.

Players take control of a survivor thrust into a cataclysmic zombie apocalypse. In a unique twist, however, the survivor has been infected and must strike out to make the most of their final days by gathering supplies for those who will come after them, and hunting for the truth behind the renewed danger of the zombie virus, before they themselves succumb.

But when one survivor dies, the player will immediately take control of another, who will benefit from the progress made by their predecessors. The Last Stand: Aftermath looks to pose the question: how much can you give before you are gone forever?

Con Artist Games have launched a Kickstarter campaign today, which lets backers support the team as they take on the last leg of development.

Fans will be offered a plethora of ways to support the game with Con Artist Games planning to offer an exclusive beta of The Last Stand: Aftermath directly after the end of the Kickstarter campaign in mid-October.

“Aftermath is a culmination of years of ideas mixed with the series’ long history, so hitting all of those notes has been an exciting challenge” said Chris Condon, game director at Con Artist Games.

“It is important to us to deliver the best possible version of Aftermath to fans of the series, so Kickstarter makes a lot of sense to help us get to the finish line.”

The Kickstarter campaign for The Last Stand: Aftermath is live from today for 30 days. Players can back the game and receive a copy at launch for as little as $25, with limited early bird pledges available for $20.

The Beginning of The End
