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’s Distant Places DLC will be available via Steam and GOG on May 17, 2022, for $7.99.
