Survivors!

Following our established update schedule, we’ll be releasing a Regular Update at the end of November, followed by another Major Update in early December—yes, early December—you read that correctly! :)

We’ve also updated the official Roadmap with information on December’s update.

First, the November update brings numerous bug fixes, tweaks, and smaller QoL improvements. We’ve especially focused on balancing Radiation, as it has caused a lot of trouble recently. The session start has also been reworked for better immersion and world-building, not to mention the addition of new expeditions.

Now, on to the highlights of December’s Major Update.

• 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.
  
• Electricity+: The Electricity feature is being upgraded, allowing global distribution across all zones.
  
• Content: Additional side missions and new expeditions will be available with the update.

We’ll share more in-depth information as the update’s release approaches. Stay tuned!
