Maximum Entertainment and Polychroma Games Release Until Then: Afterimages DLC for Switch, PS5, Xbox and PC

On June 18 2026, players of the atmospheric visual‑novel Until Then will see the world of Liamson expand with the new downloadable content (DLC) Afterimages. The bundle launches across the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam, adding two fresh chapters, a suite of minigames, in‑game phone apps and deeper character interactions.

The original game debuted on June 25 2024 for Linux, PlayStation 5 and Windows, and the Switch port followed a year later on June 26 2025. An Xbox Series X|S release is slated for 2026. Until Then blends a 2.5‑D visual‑novel style with hand‑drawn pixel art, set in the stylized Philippine National Capital Region called Liamson. The story follows high‑schooler Mark Borja as he navigates romance and a mystery sparked by a global catastrophe known as “The Ruling.”

Polychroma Games, led by director Mickole Klein Nulud, has highlighted Filipino representation in the base title and sought to deliver a cinematic experience within the visual‑novel framework. Afterimages continues that vision by exploring themes of love, loss and friendship. The first new chapter centers on Sofia as she returns home to revisit memories she left behind. The second chapter shows Mark meeting a new lover while reconnecting with an old friend.

Beyond narrative, the DLC introduces several minigames. Players can try tarot, bake virtual pastries, and interact with dating and video‑content apps that appear on an in‑game smartphone. These activities are designed to deepen immersion and give characters more opportunities to engage with the player.

Maximum Entertainment announced a physical edition of the DLC will arrive on September 3 2026. The boxed package will include the base game and the Afterimages expansion, offering collectors a tangible way to own the title.

In celebration of the launch and the second anniversary of the original game, the publisher will host a live‑gig event on June 27 2026. The event will feature music and performances tied to the game’s world, giving fans a chance to experience the story in a new format.

The release of Afterimages follows an industry pattern of extending narrative games with episodic content. By adding new chapters and gameplay mechanics, Polychroma and Maximum Entertainment aim to keep the player base engaged while exploring additional storylines. The DLC’s multi‑platform availability reflects the publisher’s strategy to reach audiences across console and PC markets.

Overall, Until Then: Afterimages marks a significant milestone for a title praised for its storytelling, artistic style and cultural authenticity. The expansion offers fans deeper narrative layers and interactive experiences, while the forthcoming physical edition and live‑gig event provide further avenues for the community to celebrate the game’s continued success.
