Endzone - A World Apart News

World Earth Day will be on April 22, but we already want to celebrate Earth, thanks to Mechanistry, Stray Fawn Studio, and Slug Disco who brought you this year’s ‘Earth Appreciation Festival’ here on Steam.

[h3]During the festival, discover over 100 games, already released and upcoming![/h3]
Check out all games here: https://store.steampowered.com/sale/AppreciateEarth2023


During the Festival, we will plant a tree for each sold copy of Endzone – A World Apart, not just with every sold copy of the Save The World Edition.

[h3]One Tree Planted[/h3]
Since 2020, Assemble Entertainment has partnered with the non-profit organisation OneTreePlanted to launch a charitable campaign aimed at fighting a very real-life end-of-the-world scenario: climate change.

Together, we will plant a tree for every unit of Endzone – A World Apart sold during Steam’s Earth Appreciation Festival!

Join us and contribute your share to save the world!

Building a city is hard enough in and of itself. Now try doing it in a hostile post-apocalyptic world!
See for yourself in Endzone - A World Apart!

Thanks to our dear friends Red Art Games, ESRB-rated physical PS5 copies will come out on August 18 with VGP Video Games Plus taking pre-orders RIGHT NOW already!

Survivors!
We are still overwhelmed and grateful for the amazing experience: developing Endzone - A World Apart!

Can you believe it? 2 years since the full release? -Double-time! Some of you even accompanied us on our Endzone-journey for 4 years, since we have first revealed Endzone - A World Apart!

[h2]On top of that, Endzone - A World Apart has currently 1 million survivors, enjoying the game across many platforms! A huge "Thank You" for your support and trust in us and our game![/h2]

[h3]How did we get there, since reveal in 2019?[/h3]
Great question. The easiest way would be to take a trip down memory lane together.

[h3]Please find below a small selection of rare screenshots, photos, concept art, and more, you might have not seen, yet! Enjoy! [/h3]
Where it all begins – The famous Endzone bus, shared in June 2020 via our official ArtStation acc (https://www.artstation.com/gentlymadstudios)

Fun fact: We even spotted the Endzone party bus irl

We even got Black Friday Sales in Endzone settlements, as can be seen!

How about an early screenshot, pre-Early Access, with an old UI

‘Get to the chop-paah!’ – Running as “legit chop”, for an unknown reason this animation never made it into the game.

Our Experience Lead & Studio Lead & Co-Founder Stephan ‘Trymops’, preparing for a livestream back in 2020 in our old offices.

Trymops even blamed Larry Laffer for this screenshot, he did after his stream!

Streaming Endzone is fun, especially if you are doing it more authentic, as necessary (Source: Gamevasion livestream 2020)

-Your always grateful teams of Gentlymad Studios & Assemble Entertainment-

Hello fellow survivors!

We got some amazing news: Endzone - A World Apart is now playable on Steam Deck!

To give you the best possible experience, we ported our UI from consoles to the Steam Deck to make it as accessible as possible. We also fine-tuned the performance and effects to get the best results on the Deck's hardware.

But, why only playable (yellow) on Steam Deck, you ask? Since Endzone is a very UI heavy game, we had to compromise on text size for faster UI usability. This won't harm your experience, and we hope you enjoy Endzone on Steam Deck as much as we do.

Feel free to leave feedback in the comments, we're curious about your Endzone journey on Steam Deck.

Stay safe, and thank you so much for your ongoing support!
