Even a decade after it launched, the original Endless Legend is one of the best 4X games around. Developer Amplitude Studios didn’t just craft a truly special fantasy and sci-fi universe, it also put on a masterclass in strategy design. While the influences of Age of Wonders and Civilization are clear, the colorful factions and their individual territories put a unique twist on the genre. Now, Endless Legend 2 is closer than ever, as we finally have an imminent launch window.
Set amid the doomed oceanic paradise of Saiadha, Endless Legend 2 doesn’t just put you up against enigmatic factions, but the world itself. Shifting seasons, major tidefalls and other cataclysmic events ravage the land, but these challenges offer opportunity as well as danger. Tidefalls will reveal new areas to explore, which can help you expand your empire with routes and pathways originally unavailable to you.
The 4X game is constantly shifting, and it’s these push and pull dynamics that you’ll need to master if you want to succeed. If you want to be a ruthless conqueror, builder, diplomat, or even a flesh-eating beast, understanding what makes the world of Endless Legend 2 tick is the way to get there.
As for Endless Legend 2’s early-access launch, you’ll have multiple factions to choose from. Machine hivemind The Aspects will be yours to command, alongside the Kin of Sheredyn, with each group built around unique mechanics, units, and narratives that influence how you’ll succeed. Embracing what makes any of the groups different is key, as is developing relationships with them when you’re on opposing sides.
Hooded Horse and Amplitude Studios confirm that Endless Legend 2 is targeting a summer 2025 launch. It’ll release via Steam Early Access. You can wishlist the game here.
