Post-Apocalyptic Survival Strategy Game, Endzone 2, Announced

Publisher Assemble Entertainment and internal development team Gentlymad Studio have revealed Endzone 2, the post-apocalyptic, survival strategy, colony sim sequel to 2020’s Endzone – A World Apart. 

The team revealed the game during today’s Opening Night Live stream hosted by Geoff Keighley for Gamescom 2023, with a debut trailer showcasing some of the game’s strategy action. It’s set to hit Steam sometime next spring. Endzone 2 requires players to battle to survive while attempting to colonize habitable terrains. The game combines strategy and survival gameplay. 

Watch the Endzone 2 trailer below. 

You can clearly see that players have the freedom to choose their starting point for exploring and surviving on this harsh world. From there, they can venture off to various locations in search of loot and resources, but they’ll also need to create, manage, and defend their multiple settlements along the way. 

“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 to keep up with the size of their growing community,” a press release reads. 

They will have to set up trade routes in order to connect habitable ground and traders. The studio says players familiar with Endzone – A World Apart will now be able to enjoy “the challenge of creating and managing multiple settlements and using vehicles to establish trade routes, barter with traders, and go on expeditions.” Endzone 2 also features a complete overhaul of the series’ rendering system, bringing “players a more detailed and visually appealing environment along with new animations,” the press release reads.

Gentlymad Studios is also bringing a new patch to Endzone – A World Apart to bridge the gap between it and Endzone 2. The new patch includes a brand new side-mission, as well bug fixes and a beautiful new building. Another surprise is teasingly waiting for players that pay attention. 

Alongside today’s announcement, Assemble Entertainment has revealed it is launching a Kickstarter campaign for the game. 

Endzone 2 should be available on Steam during the spring 2024.
