Endzone: A World Apart challenges players to prove themselves as a worthy leader and survive in a hostile environment where the most dangerous foes are the unforgiving climate and catastrophic weather events. 

Endzone: A World Apart follows a group of refugees who, more than a century after a devastating worldwide nuclear powerplant terrorist attack, are leaving their underground bunkers and rebuilding society on the surface. After 150 years dwelling underground in bunkers called ‘endzones,” Earth’s surface seems like a breath of fresh air, though that couldn’t be any further from the truth! Players will face the likes of toxic rain, dangerously radioactive environments, raging sandstorms, and a merciless climate.

While spearheading the rise of humanity, men, women, and children will need protection from threats of all kinds, and there’s no telling what each new day will bring on the forsaken planet from which they’ve emerged. 

The tenth update, titled “Research Equipment”, features improved expeditions, reorganized technology, and two new buildings: the Water Point and the Electric Water Pump.

Having the right equipment and research is vital to the survival of any apocalyptic settlement, and with this update, Endzone - A World Apart sees the tech tree undergo a total reorganization. The different technologies are now grouped into levels that can be unlocked via Research Utensils, which are found during expeditions — find enough of these and players can unlock the next level in the tree.

A reliable source of water is crucial to the survival of a colony, but with the population spread thin, it can be hard to find someone to maintain the pumps. The Research Equipment update provides a solution via the Electric Water Pump, which runs automatically with no need for a human to operate — provided it’s hooked up to a power grid. Of course, making sure this water is available to everyone in the colony provides problems of its own, with large settlements making it difficult for survivors to get the precious H2O they so desperately need. Luckily, players can now build Water Points, providing settlers with access to the precious liquid without having to walk across the whole map.

Endzone: A World Apart is now available in Early Access through Steam and GOG for $23.99.
