AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Until Then is getting a new narrative expansion called Afterimages, featuring two new chapters, fresh minigames, and returning characters when it launches in 2026 across major platforms.
Following its standout run as a deeply resonant narrative adventure, Until Then is returning with fresh content. During IGN Fan Fest 2026, the official reveal trailer dropped for the upcoming Afterimages DLC, promising two brand new chapters that dive deeper into the emotional fallout of the base game. Players can expect to guide returning characters through complex personal arcs, with Sofia processing memories left behind and Mark navigating new romantic territory alongside old friends.
Beyond the emotional weight of the story, the expansion leans heavily into the mechanics that made the original experience feel so grounded in modern life. The Afterimages DLC introduces fresh minigames ranging from tarot readings to baking, alongside interactive in-game phone apps built for dating and video content. These touches keep the world feeling lived in and culturally relatable, giving players plenty of side activities while they unravel lingering mysteries.
Set for a 2026 release across PlayStation 5, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and Steam, the expansion arrives at a time when narrative-driven games are finding massive success by treating player communities to meaningful continuations rather than rushed sequels. For a title that resonated so strongly with players who value sharp writing and contemporary social dynamics, this upcoming drop looks like a welcome return to a memorable digital space. Original reporting and the official trailer can be found on IGN South Africa.
