Summary

  • Rock, Paper, Shotgun has reported that Amplitude’s sequel to its 2014 game Endless Legend will be available in early access from 7 August 2025.
  • Endless Legend 2 features a map that progressively dries out as players’ civilisations develop, as well as a revised turn-based combat system in which players directly input their unit’s movements, rather than using the automatic system of movement based on initiative that was present in the previous game.
  • So far, Amplitude has revealed details of three out of the five playable factions for the game:
  • the Kin of Sheredyn, who are proficient in constructing walls in the style of the Greco-Romans;
  • the Necrophage, a race of insects that consume other creatures for survival; and
  • the Aspect, likened to coral people, who are described as manipulative.
  • It is believed that the developers are also planning to bring back the Cultists from the first game, whose distinctive feature is their reliance on brainwashing village NPCs to extend their civilisation’s reach.
