“Endless Space 2 has been such a fun development process, building upon Endless Space and Endless Legend, and creating the game brick by brick,” said Romain de Waubert de Genlis, Creative Director at Amplitude Studios. “Our games are deep, and we need lots of different people collaborating and contributing their thoughts and suggestions during Early Access, to help us formulate the perfect game.”
The Early Access version of Endless Space 2 features four of the eight factions planned for the full release of the game. Discover each faction’s story, from the AI gone berserk to the origins of the lethal Endless creation called the Cravers. Feel like an emperor and see your population react to all your decisions, as they will be the source but also the key to all your conflicts. Explore the Endless universe, discover its secrets, its new life forms and find your own path to galactic dominion.
Endless Space 2 Early Access Features:
- Asymmetric Factions: Discover the unique gameplay and storyline of each faction.
- Check Your Surroundings: Every person reacts differently to their surroundings, your actions and game events — your population fuels your power, but they can be hard to control.
- Amplified Reality: Scan the map to get more detailed information with a simple keyboard touch. Keep the game as simple as possible while still allowing more detailed information for those who want it.
- Immersive Battles: Prepare your ships, organize your fleets, choose your strategies, and study the results in real time.
- Rich, Endless Universe: Quests and events linked to population, heroes, exploration, thriving factions – Endless Space 2 has everything you need to create your own story!
- Four Factions: Pick a race and build your colony from the first four factions available: Sophons, Voydani, Cravers, and Lumeris. A total of eight factions, including one that is entirely created by the community, is planned for the Gold release.
- Two Victory Types: Play for 100 turns and either Score or be Eliminated. More victory types will be added later.
