From ashes, power is born.
A post-apocalyptic universe where the Alpha Gorillas outlive mankind and take the planet back. 5,000 characters, a game, a comic and an economy grew out of one story.
More from the archive on the Alpha Gorillas YouTube channel.
The world ended in silence.
Mankind ruled with iron and greed until the earth fought back: storms, floods, and a final war fought out of desperation. When the dust settled, the silence was deafening. But nature does not mourn. It reclaims.
The Alpha Gorillas had watched from the shadows and learned the cruelty of man. Stronger, faster and more united than ever, they emerged from the ruins. Not as scavengers, but as rulers of a planet finally purged of its greatest threat.
That story carried everything: the characters, the game, the comic, the economy. A world people wanted to fight for, told across every format we could build.
5,000 warriors, no two alike.
Battle scars, cybernetic remnants, war paint: every Alpha carries the story of the world that made it.
Sixteen months, thirteen drops.
