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 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.



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













Tune in later today, at 5pm Paris time / 4pm GMT on Twitch to discover Update 3 and the Riftborn faction in action: https://www.twitch.tv/amplitudestudios.


See you then,

Something has gone very, very wrong aboard Talos I. What began as an experiment aimed at bettering humanity has turned into a full-on alien infestation by the previously contained entities called Typhon. Morgan Yu, who is at the center of these experiments, now must fight the Typhon aboard the highly advanced space station owned by the TranStar Corporation. But what exactly are these aliens?

With a full ecology, the Typhon aliens are more than just shadowy creatures hell-bent on destroying the human race. What will you face when you play Prey?

Awesomenauts 3.5: Unleash your Power has been out for over a week and during the Streamisho last Wednesday we discussed hotfixes, community news and a great community map!

We'll give you a rundown of all the news from the Streamisho here, but if you rather watch it on Youtube, you can do so here:

Awesomenauts Rumble revealed their new event during the Streamisho! They are proud to announce the second annual Sk∅lldir Showdown tournament. Dare to show-off your Skolldir skills in a 1v1 face-off? Find out about it on the Awesomenauts Rumble Steam group here: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/AwesomenautsRumble

One of the competitive community members, eddster27 talked about how interested players can join the competitive scene. The best way to start is by getting some friends interested in playing in a premade team. It will be a blast to play with them and you’ll grow into an experienced team quite soon!
You don’t have to participate in all tournaments right from the start, and the increased synergy you get from playing with the same people regularly will make a team successful even when the skills of a team are not the best.

The Scrim Portal Discord server is there to hop in and play matches on a competitive level but you don’t even need a team to play! Just join the server and ask around if there are people interested in playing with you. You can get tournaments information and play with the competitive community on this Discord server: https://discord.gg/G7cKBXU

It's that time of year again, when all the nauts receive their mandatory vacations, and what better way to spend all this free time, than going to the famous resort Lagura beach? Unfortunately, another company had the exact same idea, and the beach isn't big enough for all of us. Clear ‘em out, trash their hotel lobby, and claim your spot in the sun!

Beach Party! was played on stream yesterday and if you are interested in trying it out yourself, you can do so here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=878135743 The last two hotfixes were both released within a week of the Awesomenauts 3.5 launch. The first patch addressed several crashes and disconnects while browsing or playing custom games. The second patch addressed crashes while playing Deadlift on Mac or Linux. If you want to read up on the patch notes, find them here: http://www.awesomenauts.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=49317&sid=76071c39ce687a6314cc6bcd361ae998

Our build is still under review. Therefore, the game is postponed for a short time.
