Hey everybody,


On this day back in 2017, we released Endless Space 2 from Early Access. In the time before and since release, the game has changed and evolved thanks to your feedback, and now three years, four major expansions, and several minor DLCs later, the possibilities feel nearly Endless. With all the different factions, quests, events, and ways to play the game, so many stories can emerge from this game.

Personally, I will never forget the passive-aggressive Cravers Rogan and I encountered during our attempt to lead the Hissho empire to the Way of the Obsidian Eagle rather than the Red Blade. We just wanted to see if peace was ever an option for our feisty feathered friends, yet were met with aggression at every turn. Out of all the empires we met, the Cravers were the last we expected to back down and leave us alone. Of course, in the end the constant threats and attacks from other empires pushed us to extreme measures after all...

That is not to say the game is perfect. We know there are flaws, and we have seen your reports and feedback about bugs and balance. We are working together with Clumsy Dwarves, a studio founded by former NGD staff, to address many of these issues. The first patch is expected to release in the second half of June.


But on the occasion of ES2’s birthday, we’d like to hear from you in the comments:
Tell us about a crazy story you experienced in the game.
Tell us what you love about Endless Space 2, what makes it special to you.
Tell us about your favorite factions and characters.
Tell us about that time Horatio rejected you because you were not perfect enough. We’ve all been there.

As part of our Endless Day celebration, we issued a challenge to our community: How many players would start games of Endless Legend and Endless Space 2 over the week of the Celebration? After a slow start, you picked up speed, and by the end of the challenge you had surpassed the final stretch goal by far, unlocking all of these rewards:

• Free Endless Space 2 DLC: The first reward you unlocked was a free copy of the Endless Space 2 DLC Untold Tales for everybody, available for a limited time. For one week from now, you can add this free DLC to your Steam library by going to your Games2Gether profile and claiming your reward (make sure your G2G account is linked to your Steam account!). If you don't own Endless Space 2, you will be given a discount coupon instead.
  
• Wallpapers: Along the way to the final stretch goal, you also unlocked two new wallpapers that you can find in the Rewards section of Games2Gether in formats adapted to various screen and devices.
  
• New Endless Space 2 Hero: As our long-time players know, Dungeon of the Endless included a secret hero you could only play by getting lucky with a Random Character: Ayairi Whairydd, the pug who accompanied the merchant and “by far the smartest being on Auriga.” The pugs continued that tradition of hanging out with merchants in Endless Legend, and thanks to our community unlocking the third stretch goal, they will now join Endless Space 2 as well! We will add a new hero to Endless Space 2, a descendent of the famous Ayairi.
  
• Endless Space 2 Digital Artbook: The final reward you unlocked (at an impressive 400,000 games of Endless Legend and Endless Space 2 started out of the 300,000 required) during our celebration is the Endless Space 2 Digital Artbook. This will join the Endless Legend and Dungeon of the Endless artbooks in our rewards section once it is done, giving you both high-quality artwork and commentary from our Creative/Art/Narrative Directors.
