[Wiesbaden, Germany – December 13th, 2024] – Assemble Entertainment is thrilled to announce the latest update for post-apocalyptic survival city-builder Endzone 2, out today, December 13th. The December update brings a wealth of new content, including the introduction of traders, the addition of wildlife and hunting mechanics, an upgraded electricity system, and even more side missions and expeditions for players to enjoy.
As part of the update, familiar faces from Endzone - A World Apart—Rusty Rolph, Old T. Bara, and Ole Sørensen—will return as traders in Endzone 2. Each trader will operate a trading post within the Badlands, offering resources and special items like technology, seeds, and expedition goods. Players can build their reputation with the traders, haggle for better deals, and complete unique quests, such as transport and fetch missions. However, players will need to carefully manage their reputation, as low levels can impact their ability to trade or haggle for discounts.
Additionally, wildlife will now roam the zones, providing a new food source through the newly introduced Hunting Lodge building. Hunt deer and boars for food, with the added benefit of remaining effective during droughts. The update also introduces Electricity+, allowing players to distribute power across all zones globally, improving settlement management. With new quests, expeditions, and other gameplay enhancements, the December update promises to bring even more depth and excitement to Endzone 2's already expansive world.
