Assemble Entertainment and developer Gentlymad Studios confirmed a 17th May, 2022, Steam and GOG launch date for Distant Places. The all-new Endzone: A World Apart DLC brings new story missions, new buildings for settlement expansion, exotic new food items, and most importantly, a means for aerial travel.

Along with the release date announcement, the developers have revealed a batch of never-before-seen screenshots (available below). These images showcase the new environments awaiting players. In Distant Places, exotic, bountiful lands beyond the safety of the settlement’s borders are waiting to be explored. Life in the settlement finally began to flourish in the preceding DLC, Prosperity. Now survivors are ready to set off on an air-balloon journey to discover the “distant places” their legends speak of.

Distant Places takes place centuries after settlers managed to regain a foothold on the surface of Earth. After having been in subterranean bunkers for over 150 years, the humans escaped the radioactive hellscape on the ground above. Featuring 12 narrative-driven expeditions, settlers of the “endzone” will fly to four unknown destinations far beyond their usual borders. Their journey in search of other displaced survivors, new food items, and brand new building blueprints. The results could be perfect for expanding settlements into (primitive) metropolises.

Endzone: A World Apart DLC – Distant Places Features: 

  • A Story Untold: Experience 12 story-driven, large-scaled global expeditions. These will 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 will be available via Steam and GOG.com for Windows PC on 17th May, 2022, for £6.49 / €7.99. Endzone: A World Apart is also coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The recently announced Endzone: A World Apart – Survivor Edition will launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on 19th May, 2022.
