Listed below are frequently asked questions regarding Zone of the Enders. The questions and answers henceforth are focused primarily on The Fist of Mars (2173 Testament).

| A: |
Nothing has been announced. It is likely that The Fist of Mars was a very minor spin-off entry with no plans for growth -- meant to be enjoyed during a specific time, particularly in the early days of Zone of the Enders. |
