It is said that the release was rushed, and so the translation is not necessarily the most correct. To me, the english text sounds odd, like an incomplete or engrish translation or something. I think there are a lot more coherent ways to convey this sentence in english. I also think that it might sound natural to japanese to read the japanese part just fine, since the word order would allow for the sentence to be cut-off like this, like a cliffhanger, but the english equivalent is harder to produce maybe since it is just lacking too much info about what it wants to say.

I think it's a little tricky to write this kind of cliffhanger in English but the AI does a pretty good job:

Three weeks later...
The ruined surface of the Earth was slowly becoming calm again,
the contamination subsiding just enough for Reploids to barely function...
And then... a certain man's...
