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. 

Assemble Entertainment and Gentlymad Studios are thrilled to announce the latest Early Access (Steam / GOG) update for Endzone 2, which is set to release on November 29th.

This update brings a range of new content and improvements, including the addition of new Expeditions, an improved tutorial, events, and much more. In addition, the game’s roadmap has been expanded, adding more details about the December 2024 update.

The new Endzone 2 update makes a balancing adjustment to radiation behavior in the game. Previously, radiation levels would grow steadily, making it difficult for players to manage. With this update, radiation levels are now more stable, and protective clothing items are more effective, allowing players to better handle the environmental hazards. The update also introduces an immersive introductory part to the beginning of new sessions, making the game’s opening moments feel more engaging.

In addition to these new features, the update includes a new Expedition called the Endzone, which sends players to an above-ground bunker, featuring new puzzle gameplay. Players can also look forward to various bug fixes, tweaks, and quality-of-life improvements to enhance the overall experience.

Endzone 2 November Update Features:

• Zones: Radiation no longer grows steadily and is more balanced.
• Expeditions: Added Endzone location.
• Expeditions: Added Military Base, featuring a number-based puzzle.
• Events: Introduced an immersive introductory sequence at the start of new game sessions.
• Bug Fixes & Tweaks: Various bug fixes, quality of life improvements, and minor adjustments.

Assemble Entertainment has also updated the roadmap, adding more information about the future of Endzone 2. Notably, players can expect a major update in December 2024, which focuses on trading and hunting. In the December update, traders will be back for good, wildlife will roam the world while hunters sit on watch, and players will be able to distribute electricity across zones.

• Traders: Meet familiar faces from Endzone - A World Apart to trade goods and take on their unique quests.
• Hunting: Wildlife now roams the world of Endzone 2, providing a new food source through newly introduced hunters.
