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, Traders & Wildlife.

The December update brings a wealth of new content, including the introduction of traders, the addition of wildlife and hunting mechanics, an upgraded electricity system, and even more side missions and expeditions for players to enjoy.

Familiar faces from Endzone - A World Apart—Rusty Rolph, Old T. Bara, and Ole Sørensen—will return as traders in Endzone 2. Each trader will operate a trading post within the Badlands, offering resources and special items like technology, seeds, and expedition goods. Players can build their reputation with the traders, haggle for better deals, and complete unique quests, such as transport and fetch missions. However, players will need to carefully manage their reputation, as low levels can impact their ability to trade or haggle for discounts.

Additionally, wildlife will now roam the zones, providing a new food source through the newly introduced Hunting Lodge building. Hunt deer and boars for food, with the added benefit of remaining effective during droughts. The update also introduces Electricity+, allowing players to distribute power across all zones globally, improving settlement management. With new quests, expeditions, and other gameplay enhancements, the December update promises to bring even more depth and excitement to Endzone 2's already expansive world.
