Hello everyone,


We know we had said that we had wrapped up with Endless Legend, but we have one last suprise update for you. We have just added localization in both Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.

In addition to that, we have added a new minor faction inspired by Chinese folklore, the Magtay:



The Magtay are fiercely protective of their culture and their ways. Hard-working and independent, they see little need to bow to another empire and change ancient traditions. After all, what can you tell them about agriculture, warfare, and respect for their ancestors? Many other tribes and peoples have tried to dominate them, and none have succeeded… Perhaps a demonstration of your capacities will convince them that you are the way not only to survival, but to a greater future.


The Magtay Minor Faction includes everything you expect of Minor Factions in Endless Legend

• A unique Assimilation bonus
  
• Their own Assimilation Quest
  
• A unique unit, the Zujajun
  

Celebrating this addition to the game, Endless Legend and most of it's DLC are 75% off until November 13, so if you're missing anything in your collection, now is a great time to grab it.


We hope you will enjoy the new content,

the Amplitude team

Hey everyone!

Ever since the release of Dungeon of the Endless on Xbox One & iPad in the far away times of late 2015, we've been getting the question almost every week: "Dungeon on my platform of choice WHEN?" Well, guess what, if that platform of choice is the Playstation 4 or the Nintendo Switch, you're in luck...

That's right: coming later this year, ported by our Frenchie pals at Playdigious, you'll have the pleasure, the privilege, the chance, to dive back once more into the breach, my friends. We're so excited we'll probably celebrate this by playing Dungeon ourselves in the coming weeks, just because.

Which of these two is the platform you're the most excited to see Dungeon of the Endless on, and who will you take in your first attempt to get out?

Hello there!

We're proud to announce that Endless Space is now free to play!
Get it on the Games2Gether Platform and keep it forever!

Happy Endless Day to you all!

Eratum: Due to the massive number of requests, the G2G platform's servers might overload from time to time. Thank you for your patience, as we are still increasing the servers capacities.

Endless Legend: Symbiosis is live!



Hey everyone,

In case you've been stuck in an Endless ruin for the last week, you may have missed our announcement that we have a new expansion releasing today, Endless Legend: Symbiosis!


We’ve teamed up once again with the brilliant minds at NGD Studios in Argentina to bring you Symbiosis, which will be Endless Legend’s final expansion. Symbiosis introduces new faction the Mykara as well as giant, tame-able beasts known as the Urkan.



The Mykara are a race of sentient plant matter and fungi, a single organism spanning thousands of semi-autonomous agents and time immemorial, ever adapting to survive and thrive. They spread all over Auriga as a massive underground root system, sprouting on the edges of the map, clinging to the regions other factions leave unattended.



Urkans are massive beasts that appear randomly around the map taking control of neutral land. To tame the creature, empires will have to bribe or defeat them in battle alongside their minions. Taming an Urkan unlocks a new set of unique abilities that is suited for both defensive and aggressive playstyles…


Here's a video introducing the Mykara:

We are also introducing a new expansion for Endless Space 2, called Endless Space 2: Penumbra! Check out this link for more info.


All of our games are also playable for free this week-end, and we even have something special cooked up for Endless Space 2 players! Check this site for more info.

Both expansions are already available, at a base price of $12.99 / €12.99 / £10.99.

But until February 4th, you can grab them at a discount!

Get Symbiosis HERE at 10% off!
Get Penumbra HERE at 10% off!
Or just grab them both in the bundle HERE at a 20% discount!

Hey guys and gals,

We still don't have a Gamescom booth this year, but as Endless Space 2's Hissho would rightfully point out, you don't mess with tradition, so we're organizing another Beer2Gether at a venue near Gamescom! From 7pm until late, get ready to spend an evening of merriment and revelry with us!

A few more people will be coming this year. It'll be 7 members of the Amplicrew, so if you're looking to meet He-Who-Shall-Be-Blamed Ato, She-Who-Keeps-Clocks-Ticking Natco, Frontrunner for best Horatio haircut Frogsquadron, or any of the cool people at the top (we have some new faces, and they're eager to meet you!), and you're at Gamescom, here's your chance!

As usual, we'll be joined by a bunch of our favorite community members, the VIPs, and also word is that some talented cosplayers will be joining us for our celebration, as the delegation for the Hissho empire. I hear they're here to negotiate something with a Yuusho representative whom you might have seen before...

Speaking of the Hissho, we'll have a trove of themed goodies, here's a hint below:
