Until Then: Afterimages DLC Is Available Now

Afterimages adds more story to Until Then

Until Then is receiving a major DLC expansion called Afterimages, expanding the character-driven adventure with new story material and additional interactive scenes. The original Jivaro article described the DLC as a narrative extension designed to revisit the emotional aftermath of the base game rather than simply bolt on side content.

The announcement centered on two new story chapters. One follows Sofia as she returns to her hometown and faces memories from her past. Another follows Mark as he meets a new romantic interest and an old friend, creating room for Until Then to explore consequences beyond its original ending.

New minigames fit the game’s slice-of-life rhythm

Afterimages also adds new minigames, including tarot reading and baking. That may sound small next to the word “DLC,” but Until Then’s strongest moments often come from ordinary routines that slowly reveal emotional pressure underneath.

The expansion’s minigames matter because they can preserve that rhythm. Instead of turning the game into something louder, they give players more small interactions that help the characters feel grounded.

Current launch context

Later reporting put the DLC launch on June 18, 2026, with a physical edition following afterward. That gives the original March announcement a clearer destination: Afterimages moved from an announced 2026 expansion into a dated follow-up for players who wanted another reason to return.

For anyone who missed the base game, Until Then remains a narrative adventure centered on memory, relationships, and the emotional weight of everyday life. Afterimages appears designed for players who already care about those characters rather than newcomers looking for a standalone entry point.

The NexusArc read

Afterimages is the right kind of expansion for this game because it keeps the scale personal. The pitch is not “more content” in the abstract; it is more time with people whose unfinished feelings were already the point.

The DLC should work best if it preserves Until Then’s restraint. Character scenes, small rituals, and quiet reversals are where this kind of story lives.
