Steam confirms solo, competitive online multiplayer, and online co-op, but Paradox has not announced player caps, crossplay, hosting rules, or shared progression.
Afterworld supports single-player, online competitive multiplayer, and online co-op. Steam also lists Steam Workshop and Steam Cloud. Paradox has not announced how many players can join, whether turns are simultaneous, whether campaigns support hot-join, or how saves and progression work between hosts and guests.
The distinction between confirmed modes and missing rules is important for a grand strategy game. “Online co-op” proves that players can cooperate, but it does not reveal whether they share one society, control separate allied powers, or can change alliances. “Online PvP” confirms competition, not ranked matchmaking or a fixed match format.
| Feature | Status |
|---|---|
| Single-player | Confirmed |
| Online co-op | Confirmed |
| Online PvP | Confirmed |
| Steam Workshop | Listed |
| Steam Cloud | Listed |
| Player limit | Not announced |
| Crossplay / cross-progression | Not announced |
| Dedicated servers / hot-join | Not announced |
Until Paradox publishes a multiplayer diary or the game can be tested, there is no evidence for a recommended lobby size, desync behavior, mod compatibility in multiplayer, or the length of a cooperative campaign.
