Scout. Signal. Reclaimer of the Old Code.
Meet Nia Sankara
Nia Sankara is the first playable scout from the PAA – Pan Africa Alliance, a decentralized network of biomech survivalists and cultural stewards.
Trained to reclaim forgotten tech and defend sacred lands, Nia, a descendant of warriors, now a peace ambassador, combining martial arts with advanced negotiation skills.
Her bonded pet Kitty, “Iko,” reveals threats hidden in the fog, intercepts enemy scouts, and remembers every step you take.
Every PAA scout bonds with a cybernetically enhanced companion built for the wasteland: a loyal, sensor-equipped Cyber-Dog built for strength and reconnaissance, or an agile, stealth-ready Cyber-Cat like Iko. Both grow alongside their partner, unlocking new senses, combat support, and story moments of their own.
Factions and Characters
The game opens with a cinematic that sets the stage for the post-apocalyptic world of “Afro-Future Rising.”
It showcases how Africa emerged as a technological haven in a world devastated by war, focusing on the player’s faction and its ideals.
The map is divided into numerous regions, each with its own unique landscape, cultural influences, and strategic significance.
How Africa Rose
Years after World War III reduced most of the planet to ash and fallout, one continent endured. Through foresight, unity, and revolutionary technology, Africa avoided the war entirely — and rose as the most advanced, powerful civilization on Earth.
Now the desperate remnants of the old world look to Africa’s resources and innovation with envy, and worse, intent. “Afro-Future Rising” begins here: defending a hard-won peace, healing a broken world, and deciding what kind of future Africa’s rise will build.
The Choice
The Pan-African Alliance, guided by principles of compassion and unity, believes in extending a helping hand to the rest of the world, including the World Coalition.
They see the post-apocalyptic scenario as an opportunity to heal old wounds and establish a new world order based on cooperation and mutual respect.
The PAA is technologically advanced, emphasizing non-lethal combat and healing technologies.
Player Options: Dr. Kwame Nkrumah II, a brilliant engineer and diplomat descended from a legendary African leader, master of diplomacy and non-lethal combat technology — or Nia Sankara, a descendant of warriors turned peace ambassador, blending martial arts with advanced negotiation skill.
Storyline Goal: Assist the World Coalition, broker peace, and root out the militant faction within Africa’s own borders that opposes the alliance’s ideals.
The African Sovereign Front is fiercely protective of Africa’s sovereignty and resources.
They are wary of the rest of the world, citing historical exploitation and betrayal. The ASF believes in a strong defense and is prepared to repel any external threats.
They are equipped with advanced offensive technologies and excel in guerrilla warfare.
Player Options: Zuberi Okonjo, a former elite soldier turned charismatic leader, versed in advanced combat tactics and cybernetic enhancement — or Makena Azikiwe, a tactical genius and cyber warfare expert who outmanoeuvres enemies before they know they’re in a fight.
Storyline Goal: Defend Africa from every external threat and take down both the World Coalition and the Pan-African Alliance, whom the ASF brands traitors to the continent.
The World Coalition consists of survivors from the rest of the world. Their lands ravaged by war, they seek to secure resources to rebuild.
The WC does not shy away from aggressive tactics and sees Africa’s resources as essential for the world’s recovery.
They have a mix of old-world and improvised technology.
Player Options: Captain Johnathan Blake, a battle-hardened military commander versed in traditional warfare and survival tactics — or Dr. Emily Stalvern, a resourceful scientist and strategist still holding out hope for a peaceful solution.
Storyline Goal: Secure the resources needed to rebuild a ravaged world — whether that means negotiating with Africa’s factions, or breaking them.
Gameplay Mechanics
- Players must capture these outposts to gain control over a region. Capturing involves various missions like stealth operations, combat engagements, or tactical diplomacy.
- Once an outpost is captured, it can be used for resources, spawning points, and accessing new missions.
- Captured outposts are constantly under threat from rival factions. The rival African faction will attempt to reclaim outposts, while the World Coalition might try to loot them.
- Players must strategize to defend their outposts, which can involve setting up defences, stationing troops, or personally intervening.
- Gaining control of all outposts in a region grants the player control over that region. This unlocks new story arcs, resources, and special abilities.
- Regional control also impacts the game’s narrative, influencing alliances and enemy movements.
The game world is dynamic, with outposts and regions constantly changing hands between factions. This creates a living, evolving world where player actions have significant impacts.
Managing resources and deciding where to allocate forces and defenses becomes a crucial aspect of gameplay. Players must balance offensive strategies with the need to maintain and defend their existing territories.
To enhance the competitive aspect of “Afro-Future Rising,” a MOBA-style element will be integrated, focusing on 1v1v1 or 2v2v2 matches.
- In this mode, three players, each representing one of the game’s factions (Pan-African Alliance, African Sovereign Front, World Coalition), compete against each other.
- Each player starts with a base in a randomly assigned region of the map.
- In this mode, three teams of 2 players, each representing one of the game’s factions (Pan-African Alliance, African Sovereign Front, World Coalition), compete against each other.
- Each team starts with a base in a randomly assigned region of the map.
