Beloved, headstrong strategy types Amplitude are making the first sequel in their history: Endless Space 2. After four years away to let new ideas percolate and expand their fiction into the roguelike and fantasy 4X genres, they’re returning to the turn-based colonisation sim that made their name.

Read on and we’ll let you know what to expect from your own randomly generated galaxy of frontier worlds, experimental technologies and oddly shaped lifeforms. And remember to check back, as we’ll update the post with new data once we’ve pushed back the darkness and uncovered more of what’s lurking in the void.
Endless Space 2 release date
May 19, 2017. That’s when Endless Space 2 will leave the drydock of early access for the starry void of a full launch on Steam. It’ll cost $39.99 for the standard edition or $49.99 for the digital deluxe,which includes the soundtrack, some new heroes, and some skins for hero ships.
The game’s already available to play inSteam Early Access– currently $29.99, or $37.49 for the digital deluxe.
Bit of Amplitude trivia for you: the studio consult their community on release dates. “We have some pretty scary times at game release because we’re asking the VIPs to vote on whether the game should release at this date,” CEO Mathieu Girard admitted in our Amplitude interview. “It can be really tricky.”

Endless Space 2 factions
The crucial thing to remember about Endless Space is that everyone thinks they’re the conquerors. Here’s a really nifty look at two of the game’s factions: a split-screen trailer that flits between the perspective of the clumsy but advanced Sophons and the cruel, imperialistic Vodyani.
Sophons
And here’s a closer look at the Sophons, who aren’t a million light years away from humanity – pioneering but careless.
Vodyani
Find out more about the Vodyani, who squandered their homeworld but have found a way to prolong life at the expense of others.
Cravers
This lot are the Cravers – a horrible bunch with a ceaseless appetite for planets. They’ve outgrown their creators, but still they press on.
United Empire
The United Empire are a Soviet-style race of propagandists and warmongers whose message doesn’t quite match the reality.
Riftborn
Next are the Riftborn. They come from a perfect, pristine universe that was ruined when a portal opened to ours, and they’re none too pleased about having to make do here.
Horatio
TheHoratio are a faction of clones – all named Horatio – who seek to refashion the galaxy literally in their own image.
Lumeris
And here are the Lumeris – a sort of grasshopper mafia. You heard me.
Endless Space 2 empire building
As you explore new star systems and claim their planets, you’ll expand your empire’s population, assimilating and uniting newcomers. And as that population grows, it’ll become both the source of your strength and the pokiest thorn in your side.
It’s possible to change your government, support a political party or vote for powerful laws in the Galactic Senate to support your goals. But equally, your population will look on as you expand, analysing and criticising your decisions. Perhaps they fear their new neighbours – and perhaps that fear will guide your hand in subsequent turns.
Endless Space 2 warfare
Endeavor digital version books. Scraps in Endless Space 2 are handled via real-time cinematic battle sequences that are somewhat reminiscent of Football Manager’s match engine – fittingly, since Amplitude have just joined the Sega family.
That doesn’t mean you’re relinquishing control, however – you’re still designing your ships, upgrading them with researched technology, composing a fleet and picking a play for the course of the fight. Then crossing every available finger.

Endless Space 2 victory conditions
Endless Space 2 makes no bones about the fact it’s a space colonisation game; you’re not necessarily here to make lasting friendships. Ultimately the galaxy will belong to the civilisation that controls the most Dust – the mysterious substance that fueled the ancient Endless of the title.
Even so, Amplitude are implementing six different victory conditions. Depending on your preference you can play aggressively, socially, economically and diplomatically, to varying degrees. You’re ruling the universe; that much is fixed. But you can decide how you go about it.

Endless Space 2 multiplayer
Amplitude slipped multiplayer into Endless Space 2 in March. Like the online play of its predecessor, it’s designed to be quick, with as little waiting around as possible in the 4X genre. Eight players can compete in the same galaxy, and of course there’s potential for all sorts of devious alliances. That’s what grand strategy is all about, right?
That’s everything we know for now! Keep checking back as we update this article.

Sophon is the race of curious but highly intelligent scientists. They value technological development, that is why their numerous bonuses are based on that field. However, they are weak warriors and you can see this many times, despite of having better equipment. Their ground armies and ships are a little bit weaker when compared to other civilizations. Nevertheless, this race plays nicely and you can easily obtain science victory.
Special ability. They receive bonus that reduces science costs which is based on number of players that have already discovered a given technology. In the Technology Screen you can see which civilization developed a particular technology.
Faction's traits.They start a game with Pilgrims representative. Your faction can always see where and how far are the Star Lanes that connect neighbor systems. However, you don't know names and number of planets of those systems. Their ships have two additional movement points but at the expense of Infantry units having 20% less health points.
Race's traits. Sophons receive +1 Science point per citizen and additional +3 points if they are on a planet covered in ice. They are mostly inclined to support Scientists, even if the events are pacifistic. They are not moved by Religious ideologies. During the second stage of Collection, which is to have 20 representatives, they receive +15 to Science in systems with their race. The last Collection bonus offers -20% of costs for all technologies.
Way of colonization. A classic type: build a colonizing ship, send it to a system with planets that can be habited and establish an outpost. The time that is required for receiving a colony status depends on the amount of Food on a planet and the distance between the outpost and your other systems. You can speed up this process by spending Dust to increase Food production and/or you can spend Influence points to speed up migration process.

Basic ships. Sophons ships are noticeably weaker when it comes to some types. Colonizer has only three support module slots. Not only this ships is unarmed, it also has less slots than versions of other factions. Scout has only two weapon and support modules. Other types also seem a little bit weaker when compared to other factions. They usually have more defense or support module slots. Sophons fleet make up for it with their firepower granted by the law from Scientists ideology which increases damage from weapon modules by 50%.
