AfterDawn

“The night ended — but the story didn’t.”

“Born in the light of what remains.”

PS4 & PS5 Console Server

This is AfterDawn

When the last fires burned out and silence fell, a new light broke through the ruins. Afterdawn is that fragile moment — when survivors look to the horizon and see not the end, but a beginning. The Awakened are those who chose to rise, rebuild, and reshape what comes next. This is not the old world reborn… it’s the new one finding its breath.

Player Stories

Your actions matter. Start a faction, become a lone wanderer, a notorious bandit, or a helpful trader. The story of AfterDawn is written by its players.

The AfterDawn Accord

To build a new world, we must agree on its foundation. These rules protect the community and the story we're building together.

Community & Respect

Be Respectful: No racism, sexism, homophobia, or bigotry of any kind. We have zero tolerance.
No Griefing/Trolling: Don't intentionally ruin another player's experience. This includes spawn camping, mic spam, or stream sniping.
Value Your Life: This is an RP friendly server. Act with self-preservation in mind. Don't be reckless without a reason.
No KOS (Kill on Sight): Interaction is kept to only PvE unless located inside one of our PvP zones.

Building & Raiding

Raiding Window: Base raiding is only permitted on weekends (Friday 6 PM EST to Sunday 6 PM EST).
No Glitching/Exploiting: You must not use game exploits to enter a base (e.g., wall glitching, ghosting).
Destruction: During our raid time do not level a base just to be destructive. Take what you need and leave.
Base Building: Do not block high-value military loot spawns, police stations, or hospitals. Your base will be removed without warning.

This is a summary. All detailed rules and consequences are in the Discord.
