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 time is now, and a new horizon awaits!

Publisher Assemble Entertainment and developer Gentlymad Studios confirmed a May 17, 2022 PC (Steam and GOG) release date for “Distant Places” — the all-new DLC coming to Endzone - A World Apart.

The Distant Places DLC brings new story missions, new buildings for settlement expansion, exotic new food items, and most importantly, a means for aerial travel.

In Distant Places, exotic, bountiful lands beyond the safety of the settlement's borders are waiting to be explored. Life in the settlement finally began to flourish in the preceding DLC, Prosperity, and now survivors are ready to set off on an air-balloon journey to discover the“distant places” their legends speak of.

Distant Places takes place centuries after settlers managed to regain a foothold on the surface of Earth after having been in subterranean bunkers for over 150 years to escape a radioactive hellscape on the ground above. Featuring 12 narrative-driven expeditions, settlers of the “endzone” will fly to four unknown destinations far beyond their usual borders in search of other displaced survivors, new food items, and brand new building blueprints, perfect for expanding settlements into (primitive) metropolises.

Key Features of Endzone’s “Distant Places” DLC Include: 

• A Story Untold: Experience 12 story-driven, large-scaled global expeditions that take you to four varied, yet unseen places of the world. Suited for only the most well-equipped adventurers, they offer uncertain but very rewarding outcomes.
• Brick by Brick: Support and expand the settlement with new buildings by discovering blueprints during treacherous new expeditions
• Beyond the Mysterious Beyond: Driven by an insatiable quest for knowledge and resources, settlers can take to the skies aboard their purpose-built hot air balloon in search of new opportunities
• Exotic Treats: Give the gift of scurvy prevention, by letting settlers experience the unique tastes and merits of six all-new exotic seeds like coconuts and bananas

Endzone - A World Apart: Distant Places will be available for PC (Steam and GOG) on May 17, 2022 for £6.49 / €7.99.
