Zone of the Enders (ZONE OF THE ENDERS Z.O.E ??? ?? ????? Zon obu Endazu), officially abbreviated as Z.O.E, is a third-person shooter hack and slash video game that was developed and published by Konami for the PlayStation 2. It was released on March 1, 2001 in Japan and later in the same month for both North America and Europe. The game is based around mecha combat with the player controlling the "Orbital Frame" Jehuty. Across the game, the player has to protect towns from enemies and obtains new weapons.
The plot is set in the space around Jupiter and follows a young colonist named Leo Stenbuck, one of the few survivors from his colony after it was attacked by the military force BAHRAM. Surviving using a mecha known as Jehuty, Leo is on a mission to return Jehuty to the Space Force and uses the Frame to protect civilians. The game was created with the intention of having a more serious and realistic focus on the mecha genre. The mechas were designed by Yoji Shinkawa, the character and mechanical designer for the Metal Gear series.
Critical reaction to Zone of the Enders has been positive. While the combat and the graphics have been generally well received, its short length and poor localization have been the most common areas of criticism. The game spawned two follow-ups: a spin-off for the Game Boy Advance and a direct sequel for the PlayStation 2. The Japanese animation studio Sunrise also produced two works related to Zone of the Enders. The game was re-released alongside its direct sequel Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in October 2012 as part of the Zone of the Enders HD Collection.
