Endless Space 2 – now to be published by Sega

The French creators of Endless Legend and Dungeon Of The Endless are now owned by the same company that makes Sonic The Hedgehog.

Fans may be hoping for a new Sonic announcement later this month, but for now it’s clear that PC strategy games are still were where Sega sees its future.

After snapping up Total War creator Creative Assembly and Dawn Of War developer Relic, not to mention Football Manager makers Sports Interactive, the next on Sega’s shopping list has been French outfit Amplitude Studios.

They’re not quite as well known as the others, but games such as Endless Legend, Endless Space, and Dungeon Of The Endless are well regarded within strategy circles.




The more recent Dungeon Of The Endless was a roguelike but Amplitude’s other games are even more complex Civilization style strategies… all of which have the word Endless in the title.

As with their other acquisitions, it’s expected to be business as usual once Sega takeover. Which they’ll do by publishing Endless Space 2 later this year, along with the rest of Amplitude’s back catalogue.

‘To have the opportunity to add a studio with the growing reputation of Amplitude’s, to the Sega family, is an exciting one and reinforces Sega Europe’s position as a market leader in publishing high quality PC games’, said Sega boss Jurgen Post.

‘Culturally, Amplitude are a fantastic fit for the business as they not only produce great games, but also have a proven track record in listening to their fans and directly involving them in the ongoing development of their games through their GAMES2GETHER system.’

GAMES2GETHER is a crowdsourcing development system that Amplitude use to incorporate player feedback and ideas into their games while they’re still making them. We hope they’re ready for the all suggestions of a crossover with Phantasy Star, and what not to do with a Big the Cat cameo.
