Press release:
Wiesbaden, Germany – 22nd July 2022.
The Germany-based video game publisher Assemble Entertainment (who are best known for their point-and-click adventure game “Leisure Suit Larry – Wet Dreams Don’t Dry”) and indie games developer Gentlymad Studio, today announced with great thrill and joy that they have just released the “Distant Places” DLC for their post-apocalyptic city-builder “Endzone: A World Apart” for Playstation (PS5 and PS5) and Xbox (Xbox Series X/S, and the Xbox One) via digital stores.

Brought to us by award-winning publisher Assemble Entertainment and developer Gentlymad Studios, the Distant Places DLC brings even more depth to the game by expanding beyond its original borders. Enjoying over 5,500 positive reviews on Steam, Endzone – A World Apart is Assemble Entertainment’s most successful game to date.

In the spirit of other survivor city-builders like Banished, Frostpunk, and Surviving the Aftermath, Endzone puts players in charge of rebuilding society after civilization’s complete collapse. Endzone differentiates itself by setting the scene after a nuclear holocaust, featuring mechanics such as complex weather of sandstorms and nuclear rain, as well as human threats such as crusaders, aggressive roaming hoards of resource-greedy warriors. Colony denizens face realistic and frighteningly prescient crises like radioactive soil, scarce clean water supplies, and tumultuous and deadly storms.

The Distant Places DLC introduces a breadth of highly requested features, such as brand new territories to discover and explore via the newly implemented Hot Air Balloon. Featuring 12 narrative-driven expeditions, exotic new foods and resources to discover, and new building blueprints to expand the variety of construction, Distant Places is suited for only the braves and most well-equipped adventurers. Board the balloon and set sights for beyond the horizon, discovering the Distant Places far, far away that so many legends speak of!

Key Features of Endzone’s “Distant Places” DLC Include:

A Story Untold: Experience 12 story-driven, large-scaled global expeditions that take you to four varied, yet unseen places of the world. Suited for only the most well-equipped adventurers, they offer uncertain but very rewarding outcomes.
Brick by Brick: Support and expand the settlement with new buildings by discovering blueprints during treacherous new expeditions
Beyond the Mysterious Beyond: Driven by an insatiable quest for knowledge and resources, settlers can take to the skies aboard their purpose-built hot air balloon in search of new opportunities
Exotic Treats: Give the gift of scurvy prevention, by letting settlers experience the unique tastes and merits of six all-new exotic seeds like coconuts and bananas

Endzone – A World Apart: Distant Places is now available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S for £6.49 GBP / €7.99 EUR. The title is also available via Steam and GOG for Windows PC for £6.49 GBP / €7.99 EUR. In keeping with the game’s theme, Endzone – A World Apart is available as one of Assemble’s “Save the World” editions, which comes with extra goodies like the official soundtrack. Additionally, PlayStation Plus subscribers can grab Distant Places for a reduced price thanks to a 20% launch discount.
