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 excited to announce that Endzone 2 will launch into Early Access for PC via Steam and GOG on August 26th, 2024.

“We worked really hard to make our Early Access release feature-rich from the start. In the beginning, it will be limited to one endless game mode and a tutorial. The core gameplay itself already offers several disasters and threats, and will probably push you to the limit. It will also feature procedural map generation, so every session you start will come with its unique challenges. Since one of the core features is the discovery and claiming of additional, habitable zones to establish more settlements and find more resources, we are confident that you'll have several hours worth of fun right from the start of early access.”

“The final version of the game will include several new features, which we plan to add during Early Access, including features that will extend the core gameplay mechanics. In addition to those, we plan to incrementally add new stuff like buildings, missions, and expeditions to the game.

In the predecessor, we pushed big feature updates monthly. With Endzone 2, we want to split the update stream into a monthly rotation of small patches and big updates. This allows us to integrate more feature-rich and more coherent additions with the big updates as it allows us to invest more time into QA and feature iteration.

Patches will include quality of life improvements, balancing changes, and bug fixes to the game. They might also include smaller content additions or changes.

Updates will include significant feature additions like Raiders, for example. A big update might also contain substantial content additions, like a thematic set of new missions or expeditions.”
