Available Now — Award-Winning Survival City-Builder Endzone – A World Apart Now Available for Windows PC

Available Now — Award-Winning Survival City-Builder Endzone – A World Apart Now Available for Windows PC 

Highly Acclaimed Survival Simulation from Assemble Entertainment Launches with New Content After Tremendously Successful Early Access Run 

Wiesbaden, Germany (March 18, 2021) — Assemble Entertainment, an award-winning German publisher of indie games, and in-house development studio Gentlymad, are thrilled to announce today the full launch of Endzone – A World Apart. After a successful release in Early Access, the multi-award-winning survival city-builder is now available on Windows PC via Steam and GOG. The game, set in an irradiated post-apocalyptic future, pits players against an unforgiving wasteland ripe with all manner of danger and horrors, many of which mirror our own real-life global dilemmas: cataclysmic weather events, radiation poisoning, and rapidly disappearing clean water. Endzone tasks players with the ultimate responsibility — rehabilitate, restructure, and protect the last human beings on Earth.

“It’s been an extremely rewarding journey to get Endzone, in its final and most polished form, into the hands of players, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the final product,” said Stefan Marcinek, CEO of Assemble Entertainment. “The feedback from players and fans during our Early Access period was overwhelmingly positive at every turn, and our teams have put a lot of work into ensuring a quality experience for the fans who enjoyed the game in Early Access and those who’ll be discovering it for the very first time.”

Watch the Endzone – A World Apart launch trailer here: 

With more than 170,000 units sold so far and enjoying a positive 82% review metric on Steam, Endzone – A World Apart puts players in charge of building and overseeing a colony of survivors eking out an existence in a world ravaged by nuclear fallout. Established colonies face realistic and terrifyingly prescient crises like radioactive soil, scarce clean water supplies, and tumultuous and deadly storms. In the game, humanity made itself Mother Nature’s enemy, and she’s not in a good mood! If that wasn’t enough to deal with, the developers have added a brand new (and highly requested) feature to coincide with the full launch: Raiders. These roving gangs of resource-hungry wasteland warriors have started pillaging settlements and stealing valuable assets. Fight them head-on or construct watchtowers, siren towers, and barricades to alert and defend the fragile, yet steadfast, colonies of Earth’s last-remaining humans!
 
Key Features of Endzone – A World Apart Include: 

  • Forget the Weather Network: The world of Endzone is not a welcoming one; Mother Nature has been pushed to the brink, and the verdant environments of the past have been replaced by a harsh world full of acid rain, radiation, and ferocious weather
     
  • Build, Expand, Survive: With more than 50 different buildings to construct and maintain, including power stations, shelters, water treatment plants, and, unfortunately, cemeteries, colony-architects have a vast selection of structures from which to create a successful and flourishing community
     
  • Can’t We Order In?: To get fresh supplies and learn new information, scouting parties must engage in Expeditions — which involves leaving the safety of the colony and venturing out into the dangerous wasteland to scavenge valuable resources
     

Dynamic Radiation Simulator: Keep those iodine pills handy, as Endzone features realistic radiation and humidity values that force players to take into account important details about the soil in which they grow their crops

To celebrate the launch, the development team at Gentlymad will host a livestream on Twitch at 2:00pm EDT/ 11:00am PDT today to showcase gameplay, demo the new content and features, and answer questions from fans and press.
 
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. 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-live tree. To date, more than 40,300 trees have been planted around the globe as a result of the partnership.
 
Endzone – A World Apart is now available on Steam and GOG for Windows PC for $29.99 USD, and the “Save the World” edition is available for $39.99 USD. As a limited-time special offer, Endzone – A World Apart can be purchased for $23.99 USD as a promotional launch discount.

Discover new creatures great and small with Planet Zoo: Southeast Asia Animal Pack

Discover new creatures great and small with Planet Zoo: Southeast Asia Animal Pack

Eight fan favourites launch alongside a free content update for existing players

Cambridge, UK – 18 March 2021 Frontier Developments plc (AIM: FDEV) today announced even more animal magic is heading to Planet Zoo with the Southeast Asia Animal Pack. Launching on Steam on March 30 for a suggested retail price of £7.99 / $9.99 / €9.99, this brand new, animal-focused expansion brings a menagerie of much-requested creatures to players everywhere.

Hailing from the breathtaking Southeast Asia region, the Clouded Leopard, Sun Bear, Proboscis Monkey, Binturong, Malayan Tapir, Ussuri Dhole, North Sulawesi Babirusa and Giant Malaysian Leaf Insect join the impressive list of existing habitat and exhibit animals. Offering the most new animals of any Planet Zoo pack to date, budding zookeepers can test their skills as they hand craft a stunning array of habitats to keep their newest arrivals healthy and happy.

The Clouded Leopard is one of the spectacular new inclusions, a medium-sized arboreal cat residing in forests and grassland. Secretive and solitary, players will have the opportunity to help protect and raise this vulnerable species.

Another fan favourite is the honey-loving Sun Bear. Naturally docile, it’s not classed as a predator, and can happily coexist with other species. Sun bears love swimming and foraging before lazing away in their hammocks. While requiring relatively low land space, players will need to dedicate plenty of off-ground room for their climbing craze.

Then there’s the imitable Proboscis Monkey. Planet Zoo’s first swimming primate, it splashes through water with bespoke paddling animations not shared by any other animal. Proboscis monkeys are highly sociable, and players must keep them in groups to ensure optimal welfare. They also have a strong need for a variety of enrichment items, favouring moveable toys and foraging feeders.

Guests will be enthralled as they try to spot a glimpse of the Giant Malaysian Leaf Insect, the only exhibit animal in this pack. This remarkable creature is a pro at evading predators, having evolved to resemble a leaf, even mimicking the appearance of bite marks. When this piece of sentient shrubbery moves, it rocks back and forth just like a real leaf being blown by the wind.

In addition, there’s also a brand new timed scenario based in Perak, Malaysia. Here players will take charge of a struggling zoo set in a tropical rainforest biome and attempt to reverse its fortunes by placing facilities, scenery, and flora with Planet Zoo’s signature piece-by-piece construction and landscaping tools.

Planet Zoo: Southeast Asia Animal Pack launches alongside a free update that brings a range of extras and improvements to the game. This includes multiple zoo entrances, video billboards, fresh scenario rewards, customisable water colour and volume, and the ability to save franchise zoos as sandboxes. There’s also a timed scenario called Bernie’s First Steps in which players expand an early version of Goodwin House into a thriving country park.

For full details of the free content update check out https://www.planetzoogame.com/news/planet-zoo-1-5-update

The Southeast Asia Animal Pack comes to PC via Steam for a suggested retail price of £7.99 / $9.99 / €9.99.

Please note the Planet Zoo: Southeast Asia Animal Pack requires the Planet Zoo base game in order to download and play. Planet Zoo is available now on Steam with an RRP of £34.99 / $44.99 / €44.99, Planet Zoo Deluxe Edition RRP for £42.99 / $54.99 / €54.99 or the Planet Zoo Deluxe Upgrade Pack for £9.99 / $11.99 / €11.99.

The Tiny Digital Factory launches GT MANAGER for iOS and Android – a racing management game at the heart of motorsport

GT Manager puts players in control of their own GT motorsport team on mobile devices today

Lyon (France), 18 March 2021 – Imola in Italy, Silverstone in the UK… Today GT Manager lets players take charge of a Gran Tourismo racing team and speed along the world’s most iconic racing tracks. In direct line with the rise of a new genre within the racing category, GT Manager – developed by French studio, The Tiny Digital Factory – allows players to build their own GT team in the ruthless world of motorsports. Available for free today on all app stores, GT Manager offers the best experience of motorsport management in the market.

A new game genre anchored in The Tiny Digital Factory’s legacy

GT Manager is the result of more than 10 years of experience building racing games from The Tiny Digital Factory team, having worked in partnership with Codemasters and Eden Games, including co-development on the official F1 Mobile Racing game, downloaded by 16 million players and played daily by 150,000 people. In offering unprecedented features and content, comparable to the best football management games, GT Manager carries the ambition to join the segment’s leader, F1 Manager, at the top of the rankings.

Racing games on mobile never managed to reach the top spots of mobile game rankings because of the lack of accuracy and the quality of the racing experience inherent to the devices’ small screens. GT Manager positions itself on the fast-growing segment of Sport Management games and in direct line with games conceived specifically for mobile in the racing category which represents five percent of current mobile games revenues.  The game plays in portrait mode and offers short game sessions to be played on the go.

GT Manager: sophisticated and accessible, the perfect balance for motorsport management games fans

Players will be able to master the art of the race as a racing team manager through an experience centered in management and tactical decisions taken from the pit. 

The game offers a deep immersive experience in the universe of race management. Every player takes on the role of a young manager who will reinforce their expertise and network through their encounters with the leading experts of the track. Here, the engineer, the mechanic, the sponsoring manager are as important as the driver. It’s the player’s capacity to hone his skills which will allow him to make the difference in Career mode. This progressive evolution brings both sophistication and accessibility to the experience. GT Manager features a wide range of official GT championships licenced car models and authentic tracks to add to the authenticity.

GT Manager: An in-depth experience from the pit lane

Players take charge of every aspect of their GT team, before, during and after the race. From the development center and their headquarters, they will take all the major decisions regarding investments and the budget management of the team. From their team’s factory, the player can – through experience and investments – manage more and more aspects of the team’s life, from training to sponsorship scouting.

On the track, the race strategy is essential to get in front of one’s rivals. Going faster is not the solution to win. Tire wear, car settings and the information provided by your race team will have a major impact on the race’s results.

“GT Manager has been conceived by a team with many years of experience in developing racing games. GT Manager is the result of our expertise and we are proud to offer the first racing game fully developed, produced and edited by our Lyon-based studio from The Tiny Digital Factory”, Stéphane Baudet, CEO of The Tiny Digital Factory, explained.

In GT Manager, players will…

  • Manage pilots from the pit without any driving skills required.
  • Collect 19 official cars from major brands with various GT championships, under licence : Porsche, Mercedes, McLaren, Nissan, Audi, Chevrolet, Renault / Alpine, Ford, Honda, Aston Martin, Brabham, Saleen.
  • Build their own headquarters (five buildings and 12 departments), invest in their production factory and in R&D, recruit pilots, engineers and sponsors…
  • Equip their factory with more than 200 different cards.
  • Score points in the championship ranking to move up the next league.
  • Improve the performances of cars and pilots’ statistics.
  • Take part in daily races in endurance, sprint, at night and in seasonal events, on 11 different iconic racetracks.
  • Compete online in 1vs1 races to build their weekly and seasonal rankings.
  • Choose their tire strategy and adapt their general race strategy to react to race incidents.

GT Manager is now available for free on the Apple, Google, Huawei and Samsung stores!
