Paradox Interactive have just pulled back the curtain on Surviving the Aftermath, a "post-apocalyptic survival colony builder" set for release in late 2020. The game is a spiritual sequel to Surviving Mars, their runaway hit colony sim that octupled its player base after its latest DLC dropped in May. Details on Surviving the Aftermath are pretty thin on the ground; the teaser trailer is only a logo, and the only information so far is that it's a colony management sim like Surviving Mars, but in the days after some kind of Earth-shaking cataclysm, possibly a comet strike or nuclear exchange.
You can purchase Surviving the Aftermath in early access on the Epic Games store and Xbox Game Preview later this year, with the game getting a full release on Steam and PS4 as well in late 2020. Stay tuned for more details.
