More than ten years later, Amplitude Studios announced Endless Legend 2 with an extended trailer that premiered in late January 2025. The game can currently be wishlisted on Steam but doesn’t yet have a firm release date, though it’s planned to debut sometime in early 2025. While the original Endless Legend was published by Iceberg Interactive and later Sega, the sequel will be distributed by Manor Lords publisher Hooded Horse.

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

The upcoming title will take place in Saiadha, an oceanic world described as both pretty and perilous. The gameplay loop of Endless Legend 2 was designed around the game’s setting, with Amplitude confirming the existence of storm and tide mechanics requiring players to adapt to constantly shifting environmental conditions. The game will expand the series’ complicated lore with new factions, ancient civilizations, and secrets, among other novelties. The early access version of Endless Legend 2 will have four playable factions, with Amplitude planning to add two more post-release. As was the case with the first game, each EL2 faction will feature a unique playstyle. Amplitude has hinted that the day-one factions will allow players to choose between warriors, nobles, diplomats, and builders.

Endless Legend 2 Playtest Is Starting Soon

Ahead of its Steam Early Access launch, Endless Legend 2 will host a closed playtest. Enrollment will be managed via Amplitude’s newly reopened Insiders program. Anyone wanting to register for a chance to be among the first to try the game can do so by filling out a short survey. The details of the Endless Legend 2 playtest will be announced at a later date. Amplitude says it intends to include “as many players as possible,” while noting that not all applicants may be selected for every phase of the test.

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.”

It’s presently unclear how long Endless Legend 2 is planned to remain in early access. Regardless, given the near-universal acclaim of its predecessor, this is a title that fans of strategy games will want to keep an eye on in 2025.
