Today, we, both teams of Assemble Entertainment and Gentlymad Studios, are thrilled to announce the launch of Endzone - A World Apart: Prosperity, now available here on Steam.



The release is paired with a fresh trailer showcasing the expansion's new features, as well as some of the luxuries in which the survivors can now partake.
Prosperity isn’t just a title — after carving out a home in this ruined world, surviving through toxic rain, sandstorms, and even attacks from their fellow man, settlers can finally enjoy some of the finer things in life...like soap!

With over 350,000 units sold on Steam and GOG and 4,000 positive Steam reviews, we are proud to release this highly anticipated expansion.
With new freedoms come new challenges, as players now not only have to tend to a resident’s needs but also their wants. The new generation isn’t simply content with surviving, but instead, thriving. Adding to the game’s realism, this expansion will have players strategize in different and demanding ways, planning out community decisions with more than just survival in mind. Citizens will want their Town Center upgraded into a proper City Hall and ultimately, the residents will eventually request the construction of a long-lasting building as a shining example of all the progression and accomplishments: The Beacon.


With the Prosperity expansion bringing fresh luxuries like beer, cake, coffee, and soap, players might forget that the previous threats haven’t just disappeared. Along with the comfort items, the expansion also brings new resources like sand, concrete, metal, and cement for upgraded building construction. Utilize the new supplies to protect the community from the still present threats of toxic rain, violent sandstorms, savage raiders, and the ever-looming threat of radiation. Though, once the settlement has been fortified, they’ll be free to put up their feet with a nice cup of coffee — they’ve earned it.





Additionally, to celebrate the launch of the Prosperity expansion, you can get 10% off launch discount on Prosperity and, if you do not own Endzone - A World Apart yet, get 34% on both Standard and the Save The World Edition on Endzone - A World Apart!

• New Adventures: The Prosperity expansion will introduce three brand-new scenarios that will test the limits of the next generation of survivors.

Assemble has partnered with the environmental activist organization One Tree Planted for Endzone’s Save the World Edition, which means for every copy sold, the company plants an actual, real-life tree.
To date, more than 50,000 trees have been planted around the globe as a result of the partnership.

Survivors!

Right before the release of Endzone - A World Apart: Prosperity, we are back with another look at some new features of our upcoming expansion. This time we’ll take a closer look at some new buildings and how they can make your life easier, while also freeing your settlers from some burdens of manual labour.





Water Towers are a great way to store large amounts of water and to prepare for droughts. Additionally, by using different water sources, like the Electric Well, you can also diversify how and when you stock up more water. Still, at least one task always remains: Assigning the many, many Water Carriers to store the precious resource by hand. This is tedious for your brave little worker bees and for you as their leader, especially when planning and sustaining larger settlements. To better this situation, meet the new: “Pumping Station” and the “Upgraded Water Tower”.


Many Water Carriers proudly fulfilling their duty.


A new and efficient way of getting those tanks filled up.

Upgrading to the new Water Tower is useful, as it can store 4 times as much water, which alone helps in having to build less of them. Additionally, the new building can work in conjunction with the “Pumping Station”.


The Pumping Station in action.

The “Pumping Station” needs to be built at a nearby lake and be connected to a power grid. With these requirements satisfied and while in the vicinity of an Upgraded Water Tower, it can pump water into the water storage of the tower automatically.

With this you can drastically reduce the workforce needed for Water Carriers, while also giving you a valid alternative besides the Electric Well as a new comfortable means of preparing for the next drought.

Keep in mind: This new and powerful building needs to be earned by researching through the new Prosperity research tree, gathering new resources and extending your electricity network to support the new building. Remember, everything comes at a cost!


We listened to your feedback concerning the production of new tools and protective clothing. Even the Upgraded Workshop or Tailor buildings sometimes can’t do the job in time, especially in bigger settlements and later stages of the game.


The typical setup in larger settlements to keep up with production needs.

Instead of having to upgrade to even more efficient buildings, we chose to introduce the “Factory Unit”. This building uses the new and advanced resources to help and boost production buildings in its vicinity and make them more efficient. Think of it as a special research facility where specialized equipment is produced to help the surrounding production buildings in ramping up their production.
As long as new resources are available, and you have engineers assigned to work in it, all buildings in the Factory Unit radius will receive the bonus. The buildings that benefit from its effect are: The Tailor, Workshop, Medical Facility, Armory and the Decontamination Post.


The Factory Unit at work, please be quiet, our engineers are thinking...

As with most of the new buildings, getting there and advancing to the point where you can research and use this new building is part of the journey and the challenge. So with this, take care and keep surviving!



Like last time, this is just another glimpse at some features of the “Prosperity” expansion, which will be released on October 21st. Additionally, stay tuned for a little free DLC that is just around the corner…

Once again, thank you for all the great support and immense feedback we are receiving since Early Access and Full Release of Endzone! Please keep it up, and stay tuned for more!

Survivors!
Some time has passed since we shared the last details about our upcoming Prosperity expansion. Now is the time to give you the first in-depth look into some of the new features and gameplay aspects.




Most of the new content and features of Prosperity are blended in with the natural overall progression in the game. To get access to the new content you have to build a stable settlement and progress through the technology tree. After researching enough technologies your settlers will become more demanding, reaching for more comfort in their lives.
To communicate their new demands and to usher in this new era in your settlement, your people will ask to upgrade the trusty Town Center to become a City Hall.


The City Hall

After doing so, a new research tab will open up, giving you access to researching the many new buildings and automatisms.


New tech-tree of the Prosperity expansion

At the same time, your settlers will start issuing their new needs and demands.
Listen closely and abide by their demands to keep them happy. Ignoring them might lead to revolts and even migration.


Your settlers' new demands. For example: the new luxury good coffee

In this case, your people want the luxury of steaming hot coffee. Who would be mad enough to not grant them this wish? Let’s get our researchers to figure out how we can produce this delicious beverage...


Coffee tech-tree

We also need to find the coffee plant seed and cultivate it in a field.


Another addition to the huge variety of crops and fields for prosperous farming enthusiasts:
The Coffee Field

Finally, we can produce the coffee in one of our pubs.


Pub UI for Coffee


Did we mention? - Pubs can now be upgraded!

After fulfilling this demand our people will enjoy their coffee and become “hopeful” buying us some time until issuing another demand.


Happiness UI: Hopeful State

With prosperous times come new responsibilities, and so your settlers will eventually ask you to expand and grow your settlement. After all, a new and lasting civilization won’t be built from stagnation. Together with this commitment comes the request to construct a long and lasting building as a shining example of all your progression and accomplishments: The Beacon.


The new Beacon in all its mighty pride

Constructing this building is a massive undertaking and will require several steps, from planning, constructing the base until reaching its final and impressive form. Getting there will be part of the journey, as this task will require many, many resources and manpower to complete.
As a reward, the landmark does not only look breathtaking, but will also be increasing the attractiveness of your whole settlement.


Construction step 1 of The Beacon

Construction step 2 of The Beacon

Construction step 3 and final step of The Beacon


A lot more is awaiting you, yet we won’t spoil everything new in advance, and keep some room for surprises until the full Prosperity release at the end of this month.
What do you think so far? Feel free to provide us your feedback across our official channels.

Lastly, thank you for all the great support and immense feedback we are receiving since Early Access and Full Release back in March! Keep it up, and stay tuned for more news until the Prosperity Release on October 21!

Live long and prosper—ity, survivors!

Today, we are happy to announce that our Endzone - A World Apart Prosperity addon will be released on October 21, 2021!
Not only that, but we’ve dropped a brand-new gameplay trailer showing off the soon-to-come features.

The Prosperity addon will take the plucky post-apocalyptic wasteland dwellers from struggle-mode to alive‘n’thrivin’ with new materials, buildings, challenges, and new adventures! While their predecessors worked hard to eke out a meager existence in a world that wanted them dead, this new generation finally has a chance to actually enjoy life — whether that means a nice soapy bath or a cold ale.

After a successful launch on Steam and GOG with more than 350,000 units sold and 3,800 positive Steam reviews, we have been hard at work crafting a new addon that brings some refreshed hope and positivity to the world of Endzone. Residents of the colony can now make demands of the player, providing even more depth and realism to the experience and adding new layers to the strategy. It’s not just about building a functioning colony, the needs and requests of this new generation have gone beyond simply finding a safe place to sleep and food to eat.

Of course, toxic rain, violent sandstorms, savage raiders, and the ever-present threat of radiation aren’t just going away, but the colonists deserve some time to kick back and enjoy the good things in life. The Prosperity addon brings fresh luxuries like soap, beer, cake, and coffee, along with new resources like sand, concrete, metal, and cement for enhanced constructions and a whole set of new buildings!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1632320/Endzone__A_World_Apart_Prosperity/

• Live Your Best Life: With growth and security comes luxury, and hot new items like beer, cake, coffee, and thankfully, soap are now available for survivors to enjoy!
  
• Built to Last: New construction materials like sand, concrete, metal, and cement will ensure your buildings can withstand the toughest environmental challenges while providing a more sophisticated dwelling.
  
• Expand Your Industries: New materials and more spare time means growing the colony’s production capabilities with all new buildings, including sand mines, aqua farms, and concrete factories.
  
• New Adventures: The Prosperity addon will introduce three brand-new scenarios that will test the limits of the next generation of survivors.

Endzone - A World Apart is a city-builder-meets-survival-sim that puts players in charge of growing and maintaining a colony beset by toxic rain, sandstorms, radiation, and roving gangs of violent raiders. Build farms, water plants, schools, and everything else a burgeoning society requires to not only survive but thrive in a world that’s not exactly fit for human occupancy!


Staying with the environmental themes of Endzone - A World Apart, Assemble Entertainment has teamed up with the charitable organization One Tree Planted to plant a tree for every Save the World Edition bundle purchase. Not only that, players that buy the Save the World bundle will also receive a free copy of the game’s stellar soundtrack!
