We’re listing the top post-apocalyptic games and news from the E3 conference in 2016. Below you’ll find #16-20. If you want to start at the top of the list with #1, click here.
NOTE: The post-apocalyptic genre is about the setting – and we’ve all got different tastes. That is why I’m defining it pretty broadly this time around. If it’s about the end of the world, survival, dystopia, zombies, or the genocide of the human race, then I considered it for the list.
16. ReCore
Engadget calls this a mashup between Mega Man and Metroid. It looks pretty well polished, and their marketing push is strong. It will be interesting to see how gamers react to the story and the gameplay mechanics.
PA CATEGORY: Exodus from earth, planetary colonization for species survival.
CONSOLE(S): PC, Xbox One
RELEASE DATE: September 13, 2016

17. The Surge
The developers are pretty tight-lipped about the Surge’s setting except to say that it is post-apocalyptic. Well have to take their word for it. I like the graphics and one cool gameplay mechanic is the ability to take gear from your opponents.
PA CATEGORY: Dystopian
CONSOLE(S): PS4, Xbox One, PC

DEVELOPER: Deck 13 Interactive
PUBLISHER: Focus Home Interactive

19. The Division DLC: Survival
Not a lot is known about the Survival DLC at this moment, but rumor has it that it will ratchet up the scarcity and importance of food and water. One Ubisoft rep indicated that it will introduce an entirely new way to play the game. We’ll keep our eyes peeled for more news as it comes out.

20. ARK: Survival Evolved
Ok, so we don’t really know if this is post apocalyptic. It’s a barren land full of dinosaurs for pete’s sake. But the back story is a mystery, and survival is at the core of gameplay, so we’re including it here. I’m really looking forward to the full release of this game.
