10 Years Later, Endless Legend 2 Revealed With An Unsettling First Trailer

Just over a decade ago, Amplitude Studios released Endless Legend, an inventive 4X fantasy-strategy game. Now, Amplitude Studios is unveiling the sequel, Endless Legend 2, and sharing an early look at Saiadha, the oceanic world that will be featured in the game. The trailer below hints at the ultimate power behind Saiadha and reveals some grim implications about the nature of the world itself.

The male speaker in the trailer is never identified by name, but he does describe himself as a god. More tellingly, the female whispers that accompany the male voice define this “god” in less flattering terms such as “prisoner” and “dust.” The god also hints that the planet itself is his prison and the oceans are his chains. Regardless, the speaker is confident that one of the warring factions will eventually find him and potentially set him free.

According to the game’s description, players will “face ancient perils and new threats, and unravel the unfathomable secret that lies at the planet’s core.” If the male voice really is a god, then the core may be where he’s been hidden away. As for Saiadha itself, the planet is prone to the whims of the monstrous waves. The entire landscape can be transformed by the impact of the water around it, which threatens any civilizations with cataclysm, death, and potentially starvation.

Players can assume the roles of several different factions in the game, some of whom are glimpsed in the trailer. At least one of the races is human-like, while another appears to be composed of centaurs. Even humanoid insects are among the races that are attempting to dominate this world and the others who live upon it.

There will be plenty of opportunities for players to expand their territories and their sphere of influence among the other races. Amplitude Studios hasn’t set a date for Endless Legend 2, but the game will enter early access in “early 2025.” Players will be able to immediately take control of one of four unique factions during early access. Two other factions will be added by the game’s full release.

For players who want to get their hands on Endless Legend 2 before early access begins, Amplitude Studios has reopened applications for its insider program. While not everyone will be selected for this testing phase, applicants will be considered for Amplitude’s future tests as well.
