In 2175, the world has been devastated by a war for resources that has left cities in ruins, skies covered in ash, and millions dead. The survivors fight for food and resources, forming militias and gangs to try and eke out an existence in the post-apocalyptic wasteland. Among them are Phantom, Noah, Maya, Karma, and Connor, with Phantom serving as the main protagonist.
Phantom is an enigmatic figure, going by his code-name and keeping his real name a secret from even his closest friends. He's highly skilled, both physically and mentally, and has a love of swords and firearms. He's also outfitted with a suit of power armor and has the ability to remain stealthy, making him a formidable opponent.
Aegis International, a former military company, has survived the war and now protects what's known as the "Last City," a bastion of civilization in an otherwise chaotic world. However, the Last City is not the only place of civilization left, and Aegis must constantly fend off attacks from raiders and other factions that want to take what they have.
Phantom and his friends don't work for Aegis but have a good relationship with the corporation. However, the wasteland is full of dangers, including natural disasters, cults, and infected sickness. The gangs and factions that roam the land are just as dangerous, engaging in gun dealing, torture, and other nefarious activities. There are also mutant, zombified, and other infected creatures roaming the land, as well as paranormal activities that keep people on edge.
As Phantom and his friends navigate the dangers of the wasteland, they'll encounter new allies and enemies, each with their own unique motivations and abilities. Meanwhile, Aegis will face its own challenges, including betrayal and internal strife, as they fight to maintain control of the Last City and keep civilization alive.
