Endzone 2 News

Survivors!

The Early Access launch of the long-awaited sequel to Endzone - A World Apart happened about two weeks ago. Thank you to everyone who’s been playing! It’s been such a joy watching many of you share your survival experiences online. 💚

We also want to thank you for reporting bugs and submitting feedback! Developing Endzone 2 is a delicate balancing act between trying out new ideas and staying true to the original IP. 💡

While Steam reviews, the forums, and your reports have already helped us identify many issues and gain insights into your thoughts, we’d like to dive even deeper. We’re launching a new survey to help us better understand which direction this Early Access should take. We’d love for you to join and share your honest feedback!





Remember, Endzone 2 - just like its predecessor - is driven by community feedback! Your input is crucial in helping us craft the perfect mix for the post-apocalyptic city builder/colony sim we all envision. ☢️

So let get into it! The Early Access survey focuses on the following topics:

⚪ Playtime and player experience
⚪ Game rating
⚪ Current content
⚪ Future updates
⚪ New features
⚪ Balancing

We’ve already planned the first major content update, as outlined in the ROADMAP.
You can expect an update by the end of September, and the first major content update in October, titled Let There Be Light, which will introduce electricity and… upcycling!

This has been a highly requested feature from the community, and we’ll reveal more details about these additions soon.

⚠️ Now, we need your help to shape the Early Access! ⚠️

What feature are you most excited about? Your feedback is valuable and will influence the direction of Early Access development.

Yours,

Survivors!

today we release a small hotfix consisting of bugfixes and stability improvements.

• Expeditions: Fixed error when leaving the nuclear power plant expedition while inside the nuclear power plant.
  
• System: Slightly decreased loading times.
  
• System: Fixed a bug when starting a new session, while another session was already active.
  
• UI: Several fixes for zone notifications and global notifications.
  
• Audio: Fixed audio not updating correctly when moving the camera via minimap.
  
• Gameplay: Buildings that spawn objects into the world no longer stop working (e.g. Recycling Center). This slightly reverts the performance changes from our last hotfix but we're already working on further improving the system.
  
• Zone Occupation: Cancelling zone occupation now correctly removes the access point.

Hi Survivors!

By popular demand and to get some relaxation in between play session, we'd like to share the theme song "Down By The Riverside" that's featured in our release trailer.

Since only a few know this, the song was specifically recorded for the trailer, and the vocalist is none other than Samina König, the German voice of Ella Sawchyn. She did a fantastic job conveying both the fragility and hopefulness that the survivors in Endzone experience day to day as they struggle to survive.

Now, have a listen and dive (back) into Endzone 2. Thank you so much for your ongoing support. Your feedback, comments, and reviews help us tremendously in further improving the game and shaping it into what it's meant to be.

PS (to phrase it more direct): We understand the mission to further improve the game, and just like with EZ1, we will implement feedback step by step during Early Access to realize both our vision and yours. Let's go!
