'Endzone 2' Launches Kickstarter Campaign - Trailer

Endzone 2 is a survival colony builder where players must confront an unforgiving environment, discover and repopulate habitable grounds and survive in order to protect the last remnants of humanity.

Endzone 2 combines elements of survival and city building/colony sims in order to create a new and unique twist on these familiar genres. Players are able to freely choose their starting point and venture into a variety of different locations that are hiding valuable and unique resources and loot. They will also be able to create and manage multiple settlements and fight against the unforgiving and ever-changing environment.

When players aren’t exploring, they’ll need to build, develop and expand their settlements and secure economic progress by researching buildings, and technologies, and refining resources to create optimized production lines in order to keep up with the size of their growing community. Players will also be tasked with establishing trade routes between habitable grounds and traders. 

Gentlymad Studios strives to bring the supportive community from Endzone - A World Apart over to Endzone 2 in order to develop the sequel in line with player expectations. Players familiar with Endzone - A World Apart can now enjoy the challenge of creating and managing multiple settlements and using vehicles to establish trade routes, barter with traders and go on expeditions. Additionally, Endzone 2 includes a complete overhaul of the rendering system bringing players a more detailed and visually appealing environment along with new animations to immerse players like never before. 

Publisher Assemble Entertainment and developer Gentlymad Studios launched a Endzone 2 Kickstarter campaign, looking to raise $31,757.

The Kickstarter campaign offers unique rewards for the community that will only be available as part of the Kickstarter campaign, some of which are strictly limited - so it's worth being quick!

Should the team reach its stretch goals, players can expect to enjoy additional tracks added to the soundtrack, a challenge system, more expeditions, and even improved modding tools (among a plethora of other features).

Players who pledge will unlock bonus rewards, including (but not limited to) the following:

  • Supporter Pack ($5): Digital wallpaper pack, Thank you email from the Endzone 2 team.
  • Endzone 2 Basic Pack ($23): Digital copy of Endzone 2 for PC (Steam key), Name listed in the game's credits as a supporter, plus all above.
  • Composer Pack ($500): Digitally meet our composer and help shape a track for Endzone 2, plus all above.

Main differences with Endzone - A World Apart

  • Zones: Endzone - A World Apart features a large map on which you build a single global settlement. However, in Endzone 2 the world expands as you uncover different zones, each offering exclusive resources. Now you no longer have to manage just one, but several settlements, each with their own needs, at the same time.
  • New settler behavior: We have looked intensively at the settler paths and job distribution and have fundamentally revised them. The new and improved system is now far more understandable and balanced, meaning nothing stands in the way of a thriving settlement with thousands of residents (apart from Mother Nature).
  • Vehicles: Your wish for controllable vehicles has been heard! In Endzone 2 you can freely choose your starting location, just take the bus to it. As the game progresses, you'll be able to construct additional vehicles, each better suited to building trade routes or exploring the wasteland.
  • Refurbished Expeditions: Interact directly with the game world and its ruins! With the updated Expeditions feature, we're introducing extensive ruins waiting to be explored with explorers you control. Uncover clues, unlock secrets, and discover valuable loot on your travels.
  • New graphics: Our rendering system has been completely overhauled and now offers you an even more detailed and visually appealing environment. The animations have also received an upgrade and now allow you to immerse yourself even deeper in the world than before.

Key Features

  • The hostile environmental conditions and deadly dangers of this world will constantly test your survival skills.
  • Now it's your turn, control the settlement bus and freely choose the best starting point for your settlement.
  • Venture into the dangerous Wasteland, an area full of ruins, sunken treasures and risky missions.
  • Unlock habitable zones full of unique resources and face the challenges of growing multiple settlements under your command.
  • Build, develop and expand your settlements and create a monument of civilization with numerous buildings and improvements.
  • Secure your economic progress by researching new buildings, technologies and more complex goods and optimizing your production processes.
  • Improve your trading skills by building trade routes between your zones and other traders that are essential to your survival.

Endzone 2 is coming to PC (Steam Early Access) in Spring 2024.
