by

Summary

  • 4X strategy game Endless Legend 2 has been announced.
  • The Endless Legend sequel is launching in early access in early 2025.
  • Fans can already sign up for a pre-release playtest, which will comprise multiple phases and aim to include as many applicants as possible.

After years of eager fan speculation, it’s officially announced: Endless Legend 2 is here! The sequel to the beloved game, Endless Legend, has been unveiled with a two-minute trailer and a hint at an upcoming release. Prior to its launch, a multi-stage playtest is planned.

Originating from Amplitude Studios in France, the game titled “Endless Legend” was launched in September 2014, earning favorable responses, as evidenced by its “Mighty” rating on OpenCritic. This rating was determined through an average score of 84 and an 86% recommendation rate among reviewers. Both critics and gamers commended the game for its unique mix of gaming mechanics and rich narrative detail, while also recognizing “Endless Legend” as one of the most challenging grand strategy games ever produced.

Over a decade has passed since I first heard about Endless Legend, but here we are in 2025, and Amplitude Studios has finally announced Endless Legend 2! The extended trailer dropped late last January, and though the exact release date remains elusive, they’re aiming for an early 2025 debut. I can’t wait to add it to my wishlist on Steam, and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it won’t be too long before I can dive back into this captivating world once again! Interestingly, unlike the original Endless Legend, which was published by Iceberg Interactive and later Sega, its sequel will be distributed by Hooded Horse – the publishers of Manor Lords.

Endless Legend 2 Will Feature a New World, Factions, and More

In the upcoming game “Endless Legend 2”, the action unfolds on the picturesque yet treacherous world of Saiadha, an oceanic realm. The gameplay design of “Endless Legend 2” is tightly integrated with its setting, featuring storm and tide mechanics that necessitate players to adjust to ever-changing environmental conditions. This sequel promises to enrich the series’ rich lore by introducing new factions, ancient civilizations, and mysteries, among other additions. The early access version of “Endless Legend 2” will initially offer four playable factions, with Amplitude planning to include two more after its release. Similar to the original game, each faction in “EL2” will boast a distinct playstyle. Hints suggest that the starting factions will enable players to select between warrior, noble, diplomat, and builder roles.

Endless Legend 2 Playtest Is Starting Soon

Before the Steam Early Access debut, the upcoming game Endless Legend 2 will organize a closed playtest. Participation in this event will be managed through Amplitude’s revitalized Insiders program. If you’re interested in being one of the first to experience the game, simply complete a brief survey to register your interest. Further details about the Endless Legend 2 playtest will be shared at a later time. Amplitude aims to invite as many players as possible for this test, but not all applicants may be chosen for each phase of the trial.

How To Register For Endless Legend 2 Playtest

  1. Fill out Amplitude’s survey.
  2. Wait for a follow-up email confirming or rejecting enrollment “in the next few weeks.”

As a fervent strategy game enthusiast, I’m eagerly awaiting updates about when Endless Legend 2 will leave early access in the coming years. Given the overwhelming praise its predecessor received, it’s undeniably a game that strategy fans like myself should keep on our radar for 2025.
