Publisher PQube and developer Playstark have announced they are bringing their third-person rogue-lite shooter Die After Sunset to Steam’s Early Access very soon! Following Early Access, the upcoming shooter is scheduled to launch on PC and consoles in 2022. Die After Sunset will receive regular free updates with brand new characters, game modes, and levels.
Players take on the role of April Blazestrong, a rookie trooper trapped in a time loop. You will battle a mysterious invading alien force with dozens of enemy types and huge bosses, and you fight to save the planet. Failing at any point during the run resets the loop and puts you back in your apartment where you will have access to items, abilities, and gear to use in each run. You must become as powerful as you can before the sunsets. Each run in this game is completely unique – from the procedurally generated chests and loot to the challenges you will complete and the abilities you will be awarded. You can upgrade your weapons and items between runs. Make sure you are well equipped to take on the alien enemies for your next run.
Rogue-lite games are becoming more commonplace, and this looks like one to keep an eye on. No official release date for the Early Access has been given, but we hope “soon” means sometime in the next couple of weeks!
