🌊 Endless Legend 2 – The Oceanic World of Saiadha Awaits in 2025

The tides are shifting once more. Amplitude Studios is returning to its fantasy 4X roots with Endless Legend 2, the long-awaited sequel to the beloved Endless Legend (2014). Published by Hooded Horse, this grand strategy epic will launch into Early Access on September 22, 2025, available on Steam and PC Game Pass. In a world defined by rising seas, strange factions, and shifting power, one truth stands tall: only the bold will survive Saiadha.

⚔️ Gameplay: Strategy, Discovery, and Survival

At its heart, Endless Legend 2 is a turn-based 4X game — explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate — but it reinvents the genre with bold mechanics:

• Six Asymmetric Factions – Each with unique abilities. The enigmatic Aspects, for example, spread coral spores across enemy hexes, infesting their rivals’ minds from within.

• Nine Victory Conditions – Ranging from domination to narrative-driven goals, giving players multiple paths to triumph.

• Tidefalls Mechanic – Ocean levels recede over time, unveiling new lands and opportunities for late-game exploration.

• Manual Tactical Combat – Inspired by Humankind, battles are more hands-on than ever, with positioning and unit commands shaping every clash.

The game world, Saiadha, is procedurally generated each playthrough, ensuring no two campaigns are alike. As the tagline teases: “Lead your people to victory on an ever-evolving world.”

🌍 The Living World of Saiadha

Unlike the static maps of many strategy titles, Endless Legend 2 keeps the world itself in motion. Tidefalls are not just aesthetic — they reshape the land, open up hidden regions, and keep exploration meaningful well into the late game.

From founding camps and expanding them into mighty cities to forging alliances, trading, or waging war, players must constantly adapt to the ebb and flow of a planet on the brink of collapse.

🏰 Development: Amplitude’s New Chapter

Amplitude Studios, known for Endless Space and Humankind, has taken a bold leap with this sequel. After breaking away from Sega in 2024 and regaining independence, the studio partnered with Hooded Horse to publish Endless Legend 2.

CEO Romain de Waubert de Genlis has emphasized the importance of keeping the game’s DNA intact while addressing long-standing 4X challenges — like the drop in exploration after early turns. By adding Tidefalls and reimagining combat, the team aims to keep players engaged from the first turn to the last.
