Endzone - A World Apart News

Survivors,
We are really grateful to have so many passionate veteran survivors among us, while also welcoming new players each day! Only because of you, Endzone has not just grown out of Early Access successfully, but thanks to your ongoing dedication, feedback and ideas, we were even able to go beyond our initial vision. All this really means a lot to us, and with this post and the first anniversary of our full release, we also want to say a heartfelt “Thank You”! Without your support, this would not have been possible, and we are humbled to have such a loving community.

To celebrate, we made a little recap of some of our achievements and the road we travelled together, including some dev bloopers and pictures from the team.

Additionally, even while our Early Access has ended, we are glad to be able to extend what Endzone has to offer with our ‘Prosperity’ expansion and the soon-to-be-released DLC ‘Distant Places’. Not to mention the upcoming release to consoles in May!

[h3]Next Stop: Endzone is heading to consoles and the upcoming Distant Places DLC; both scheduled for a May 2022 release! [/h3]


“While it’s been a long-time desire for us to bring Endzone to console platforms, the UI overhaul required to adapt such a deeply immense strategy game is nothing short of a challenge,” said Stephan Wirth, Co-Founder and Experience Lead, Gentlymad Studios. “We’re so excited to share this lovingly created game with new audiences come May, and we sincerely hope players enjoy the experience we’ve crafted for consoles.”

Coming to Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5, Endzone - A World Apart: Survivor Edition includes the base game and the expansion “Prosperity.”


[h3]Distant Places DLC heading to Steam[/h3]


It has been centuries since we started to regain our foothold on the surface of the earth.

Up to this day, we have strived to establish a flourishing haven, much more than just a shelter to withstand the harsh environment we find ourselves in.
It’s a place that provides safety, health care, education and even electricity, but most importantly, it’s a place everybody can call their home.

A place to pursue happiness. But even after reaching these important milestones and creating a new and healthy civilization, our people are still curious as to what lies ahead.

Being the pioneers they are, they want to reach out to other survivors and discover new and exciting places beyond the borders of the settlement. They want to uncover the Distant Places, far, far away, that so many legends speak of.

Additionally, recently, we have released the first fresh new details from the headquarters, also showcasing some new exotic seeds you can expect and for sure some screenshots for the upcoming Distant Places DLC, with our Devlog: https://steamcommunity.com/games/933820/announcements/detail/3129443759936554752

But please be aware, sharing this is strictly allowed and welcome!

[h3]You want more?[/h3]
Stay tuned and follow our official channels, especially here on Steam.
As be assured, we are planning some more Devlogs, providing you with more details and insights for our upcoming DLC until its release in May 2022!

Additionally, feel free to join our official Endzone Discord server. There, you have the chance to talk with all those other survivors and veterans that have been here since we first announced Endzone - providing a warm welcome for all those new players, too!

Further on, we at Gentlymad Studios are also around, and even though busy providing you with more awesome content for our Endzone – A World Apart, also always curious about your feedback and thoughts.

Survivors!

In this DLC, our focus is once again on expanding existing systems. In "Distant Places" you will be able to travel by hot air balloon to faraway areas that couldn't be more different from each other.

And you surely want to know what to find there, right? Well, every part of the earth is home to other plant species. For example, you can find coconuts and bananas on your journeys to foreign lands. If you return home safely and successfully from your trip, you'll be able to cultivate them in your settlement.

[h3]Look, how these coconut palms beautify your settlement.[/h3]


[h3]Not to mention those gorgeous banana palms![/h3]


This and much more awaits you in "Distant Places". Keep an eye out for more teasers and content about the new DLC in the Endzone - A World Apart news section.

[h3]Yeah, yeah, we heard you. Here, have some more teasers; since a lot of you enjoyed our first screenshots that showcased the new desert environment[/h3]


That's it for now. See you soon by the time our next teaser news drops! So, stay tuned - and most importantly - stay healthy!

Together with developer Gentlymad Studios, we are delighted to announce that our post-apocalyptic city builder Endzone - A World Apart will receive a current-generation console launch on May 19, 2022, titled, Endzone - A World Apart: Survivor Edition.

Coming to Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5, Endzone - A World Apart: Survivor Edition includes the base game and the expansion “Prosperity.”

“While it’s been a long-time desire for us to bring Endzone to console platforms, the UI overhaul required to adapt such a deeply immense strategy game is nothing short of a challenge,” said Stephan Wirth, Co-Founder and Experience Lead, Gentlymad Studios. “We’re so excited to share this lovingly created game with new audiences come May, and we sincerely hope players enjoy the experience we’ve crafted for consoles.”

The console version, Survivor Edition, will introduce players to the world of Endzone, where they’ll be responsible for the last remaining settlement of humans who’ve emerged to the Earth’s surface following 150 years in underground bunkers to escape global destruction via nuclear holocaust.

Endzone - A World Apart: Survivor Edition launches digitally on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on May 19, 2022!

[h3]More about Endzone - A World Apart: Survivor Edition:[/h3]
Steeped in a world tainted by radiation poisoning following a worldwide nuclear disaster, Endzone - A World Apart: Survivor Edition tasks players with a monumental responsibility: build a civilization and maintain the wellbeing of Earth’s last remaining human colony. Players will use the tools at their disposal to build housing structures, develop a functioning electrical system, and maintain stable water and food supplies — just a few of the valuable resources required to support a thriving society. Unlike similar titles in the genre, Endzone won’t see players face off against ghastly ghouls and irradiated monstrosities. Instead, violent weather events, such as sandstorms and drought, as well as tribes of brutal raiders, are the violent forces that seek to destroy the settlement.

[h3]Features Include: [/h3]

• A Bustling Community: The settlement is rarely quiet or dull; fulfill over 90 side missions, all of which are rich in variety and cater to the various needs of your community’s inhabitants
  
• Build, Expand, Survive: With more than 90 different buildings to construct and maintain, including power stations, shelters, water treatment plants, and, unfortunately, cemeteries, colony-architects have a vast selection of structures from which to create a flourishing community
  
• Can’t We Order In?: To get fresh supplies and learn new information, scouting parties must engage in Expeditions — which involves leaving the safety of the colony and venturing out into the dangerous wasteland to scavenge valuable resources
  
• Dynamic Radiation Simulator: Keep those iodine pills handy, as Endzone features realistic radiation and humidity values that force players to take into account important details about the soil in which they grow their crops.

Dank eines Heißluftballons, könnt ihr euch mit euren Entdeckern in die Lüfte begeben und die geheimnisvollen Orte weit abseits der Landkarte bereisen.
