ENDLESS™ Space 2 - Steph(✿◠‿◠)


Hey everyone,

Now that the PC Gamer Weekender, GDC and PAX East are behind us, we're happy to finally announce that Update 3 for Endless Space 2 is coming to Steam on March 23, with the addition of a new major faction: the Riftborn!

Amongst other features and improvements, we're also super excited to release the Multiplayer mode (with up to 8 players in total), new solar winds, nebulas and trading ships bringing more life to the galaxy, AI improvements in Diplomacy and Battle, tweaks to the Battle System and Technology Tree, a tutorial for “Advanced” players, and more!


THE RIFTBORN

https://youtu.be/h8H8DedCW_I

The Riftborn are the seventh playable faction in Endless Space 2 and also completely new to the Endless universe. Their gameplay revolves around a unique mechanic: the control of time, which they use to their advantage and to completely change the course of the game.

"Hailing from an alternate dimension orthogonal to the Endless universe, the Riftborn would've happily led out their abstract, timeless existences entirely ignorant of galactic strife, were it not for a breach that precipitated a disaster of unimaginable proportions. Like a poisoned blade slashed deep into clean flesh, the rift acted as a source of terrible disorder in the Riftborn's pristine, geometrical universe. Desperate, unable to halt the disease's advance no matter what they tried, the Riftborn took the last available course of action that might lead to their survival: Together with their strange time-shifting abilities, they stepped into the Endless universe."

Find out more about the Riftborn on the Official Wiki.


UPDATE 3

We'll detail the new features of Update 3 in the upcoming days, but here are some screenshots to keep you waiting!

  • You will playtest the then-public Update 3 version of Endless Space 2 with a member of the studio present to collect your feedback 
  • We will provide coffee, tea, snacks and also some goodies, including a special Playtester forum badge!
  • The current version is only available in English 
  • This is a volunteer playtest, each selected playtester will get to play for about 2 hours
  • Accommodation & transportation fees are at your own charge
  • You will meet the Amplitude team and visit our studio in Paris (note that unfortunately, the building does not have reduced mobility access)
DISCLAIMER: Since the test is happening on a build that will at the time already be available, in Paris, on a weekday, and travel & accomodation are at your own expense, please don't pour your savings into it. We're always happy to meet our community members from around the world, but there'll be better occasions! Beer2Gether events come to mind...


If you are still interested, check out the requirements and our guidelines below.

REQUIREMENTS
  • You need to be 18 years old or older
  • Applications are open to anyone except members of the press or video game affiliates 
  • You need to speak either French or English but you must understand English, as it's the primary testing language for the game at the moment

GUIDELINES

Shoot us a message from a valid email address your basic info (full name, forums username, date of birth, address and profession), at playtest [at] amplitude-studios.com and a quick answer to all these questions (keep it short, please, we receive a lot of applications!):

There is no wrong answer as we are interested in all player profiles (especially newbies as they're harder to reach! Tell your friends in Paris!), so just be honest and we will consider your application.


DEADLINE

The deadline for submissions is March 8th, at midday (GTM +1). We will get in touch asap if you have been selected, so make sure you check your emails!
