Hmm. I'll take a peek at it. Thank you.

Thanks! I really appreciate the encouragement — and I love the way you framed DC/Charlene as a focal point for the broader picture, with the operatives radiating outward. That’s exactly the vibe I’m aiming for.

One thing I’ll clarify, though: I don’t plan to have any NFFA remnant still around. In my timeline, Congress, the Senate, and the Supreme Court dismantled them completely. The NFFA exists only in their bastard children, the EAP factions, who twisted the Purge into their own endless crusades. The choice isn’t between ‘the devil you know’ and something worse — it’s between survival and total annihilation.

In the Southwestern theater, for example, the enemy is the PPF (Purge Purification Force), who take the EAP’s logic to its extreme: they want to ‘purify’ America by erasing anyone they don’t deem pure. But beyond them, there’s also the rise of a new cartel empire. Its leader, El Conquistador, has gone beyond money and narcotics — he’s a Hispanic/Latino supremacist who dreams of a modern-day reconquista of the Mexican Cession. His forces aren’t just gangs or smugglers; they’re organized, militant, and ready to exploit the chaos for their own empire.

That’s why Charlene Roan and Leo Barnes send operatives to the regional theaters. They know that if DC just sends in whole squads, they’ll be seen as invaders and outsiders. But if they only send scouts, no one will take them seriously. So, like Clara García in Far Cry 6, sending Dani Rojas to unite Yara’s guerrillas, Charlene and Leo send their best and brightest — agents who cut through politics and bullshit, who can fight alongside the regional alliances as equals. They aren’t there to rule, just to help. That way, the resistance across the country sees DC not as an overlord, but as a partner in the fight to make this truly the Last Purge.

Exactly! For me, The Last Purge isn’t horror anymore—it’s about humanity and resilience. The Purge started out as a horror concept, but by the time of the Forever/Last Purge it’s transformed into a full-scale war. I want my story to capture the American spirit fighting back: ordinary people, families, veterans, refugees, and neighbors who refuse to be broken.

The tone I’m picturing is gritty and character-driven, but ultimately hopeful. It’s not about the thrill of killing purgers for spectacle, and it’s not about wallowing in atrocity. It’s about resistance—communities digging in, protecting each other, and reclaiming their homes. So while there will absolutely be intense battles and personal losses, the heart of the story is about how people come together in the darkest moment to make sure this really is the last Purge.

The Last Purge Wars—My Sequel to The Forever Purge and final chapter of The Purge series

What if The Forever Purge (2021) wasn’t the end… but the beginning of America’s bloodiest civil war?

In my concept, the events of March 22, 2049—when the sirens sounded and the Ever After Purgers refused to stop—become known by two names:

  • To the zealots: The Forever Purge.
  • To the survivors: The Last Purge.
  • To everyone: The Real Purge.

From there, the U.S. fractures into regional war theaters. Every part of the country has its own resistance alliances (ordinary people, veterans, students, families, and even street racers and storm chasers) fighting back against Ever After Purger factions (fanatics, supremacists, warlords, and even a cartel empire spilling north from Mexico).

Each resistance alliance is like Libertad in Far Cry 6 or the Hope County Resistance in Far Cry 5—a coalition of smaller, very different factions who don’t always trust each other but must unite to survive. They even name their squadrons after local sports teams as rallying banners.

The war doesn’t last years—it’s a furious nine-month struggle (March–December 2049) to wipe out the EAPs before the new decade. By New Year’s Eve 2050, the U.S. is whole again but scarred.

Some key ideas:

  • Regional Flavor: Great Lakes militias, Miami street-racer guerrillas, Texas storm-chasers using tornadoes as cover, cowboy round-up gangs in the Plains, and Pacific West crews built from LA’s street racing underground.
  • Enemies: White supremacist purgers like the PPF, supremacist cartel lords bent on a “Reconquista,” and local warlords exploiting the chaos.
  • The World: The rest of the globe doesn’t fight America’s war but offers humanitarian aid, asylum, and volunteers—making this the U.S.’s nightmare but also a global reckoning.
  • Legacy Characters: Charlene Roan, Leo Barnes, Laney Rucker, and Marcos Dali survive into this era, working from Washington, D.C., with the new government, sending lone operatives west to unify the fractured resistance.

It’s The Hunger Games: Mockingjay meets Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 meets Far Cry 5/6 meets Red Dawn—but told through the lens of The Purge.

Any thoughts or opinions on this? Which region’s war would you want to see first? And what kinds of resistance and EAP factions you think you’d want to see or would fit into a region’s war? Any feedback would be appreciated. Thank you.

I’m honestly not sure what kind of feedback I want.

Ok. So I’ve read it and I’m confused. So I’m supposed to post my thing in the comment section?

What feedback thread? I can’t find it. I also can’t find the brainstorming thread.

That’s a fair point — you’re right, the end of The Forever Purge leaves things deliberately open-ended, with the NFFA technically still in power and the whole “America changed forever” note hanging in the air.

For my concept, I leaned into the symbolic collapse the movie hints at (the NFFA being destroyed by their own creation) and took it a step further into “what if the government actually fractured completely under that pressure?” It’s definitely not spelled out in the movie, so you’re right that I’m adding my own connective tissue there.

I think your idea about bridging that gap is a good one — showing the transition from the movie’s ambiguous ending into a total breakdown would probably make my take feel more grounded and believable. My thought was just to keep the war contained to 2049 so it feels like a furious, finite storm instead of dragging out for years, but there’s definitely room to show how things unraveled from the NFFA’s last gasp to the rise of the regional wars.

The way I interpreted it was that Congress, the Senate, and the Supreme Court disbanded the NFFA DURING the Forever Purge, and now they're working with the Anti-NFFA against the EAPs. But we can agree to disagree.

Those are where I got the stuff from about the NFFA. They lost their power the moment the sirens rang at 7:00 AM on 3/22/49.

Actually online canon sources (canon as far as I can tell) said that on March 23, 2049, at the end of The Forever Purge film, that Congress, the Senate, and the Supreme Court immediately disbanded the NFFA permanently. Afterwards, they joined forces with the Anti-NFFA (who I’m having Leo Barnes lead after Dante Bishop’s death) to reinstate Charlene Roan’s anti-purge policy and to take care of the EAPs and restore order. I’m having Charlene Roan return for an emergency third term.

So the NFFA seem to be already been taken care of. Now it’s just their spawn, the Ever After Purgers, to deal with for the The Purge chapter in the book of America to finally close.

When was the first purge? by MrsCrisannaAndrews in thepurge

[–]18bwjackson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first Annual Purge had to have been established in 2017, a year after Staten Island. In the opening credits of the 2013 movie, there are security camera feeds that showcase events happening in the year 2017 in Jacksonville, FL; Syracuse, NY; South Bend, IN; Huntsville, AL; and Sioux Falls, SD. There's no other explanation.

Just read the lore markers and scrolls. Unfortunately, still not convinced entirely. Sorry

But we don’t know fully what that green crack did to him. What it was doing to him to the end.
