You know that game Amplitude Studios is working on? Yea – it’s called Dungeon of the Endless, right? Wrong! Well, both actually – though that game is coming, Amplitude has revealed it is also working on a fantasy 4X strategy game due out this Spring called Endless Legend. Huh, multitasking indies – I like it.
The team at Amplitude seems pretty stoked about the game considering the crushing amount of work doubling up on development must be, and their CEO Mathieu Girard wears the teams’ emotions right on his sleeve.
Creating a fantasy 4X game was a dream for all of us at Amplitude. The success of Endless Space and the support of our community have allowed to make this dream come true. With respect toward great games released before us, we intend to set a new benchmark in creating a rich, immersive, thrilling, and accessible 4X strategy game in a new fantasy setting.
