help Death's Gambit: Afterlife FAQ
What did Afterlife add to the original Death's Gambit?
Afterlife substantially expanded the 2018 game with new areas, bosses, weapons, talent systems and movement abilities. It also reworked progression so exploration more closely resembles a traditional Metroidvania.
Do owners of the original Death's Gambit receive Afterlife?
Afterlife was released as a free expansion for existing owners on supported platforms rather than as an entirely separate purchase. The expanded version first arrived in 2021.
What happens when Sorun dies in Death's Gambit: Afterlife?
Sorun is bound to Death by a contract, so dying does not permanently end the game. The player revives and can recover lost Phoenix Plumes from the place or enemy associated with the death.
Is Death's Gambit: Afterlife more like Dark Souls or Hollow Knight?
Its stamina-based combat, healing management and large bosses draw openly from Dark Souls. Afterlife's ability-gated map and expanded exploration bring it closer to Metroidvanias such as Hollow Knight, while its class system remains distinctly RPG-like.
