About
Endzone 2 is a post-apocalyptic survival colony builder, where you embark to secure humanities survival after a cataclysmic disaster. Discover and repopulate the last habitable grounds, while the survival of your people hinges on your wits, foresight, and resilience in a harsh and unforgiving world.
Survivors,
The time has come to surpass the confining limits of these lands. Our brightest minds have constructed machinery that allow us to break free and venture beyond our borders!
Let there be no doubt—even after centuries, Mother Nature’s anger remains unbroken. She is the same untamed beast she was when our ancestors stepped out of the Endzone. Our way will be filled with obstacles, misery, and death. Yet, we are pioneers, born with a unwavering curiosity to expand, rebuild, and thrive. Together, we will rekindle humanity.
