Hello everyone,
TL;DR Early access is coming soon, we're aiming for September! We've just revealed the third major faction: the Lumeris as well as a new minor faction, the Epistis. We're demoing Endless Space 2 at Gamecom (Hall 10.1). Faction creation contest - part 1: don't forget to upvote your favorite ideas. |
EARLY ACCESS INCOMING!
We are now aiming for an Early Access release on Steam this September!
Over the next few weeks the team will be hard at work to polish the latest features and assets, and hunting down the last few bugs in order to provide you with the smoothest launch possible. You know us, we will not rush the release if we are not confident that you can have a great experience from the start! So the exact date will be announced a little bit later, once we've received blessings from the VIPs and the QA gods.
In case you haven't done that already you can add Endless Space 2 to your Steam wishlist, that way you'll be notified the moment the build goes live ;)
NEW MAJOR FACTION - THE LUMERIS
With the Early Access closing in, it is time to ramp up the faction reveals!
Please welcome the Lumeris, a civilization of amphibious people that originated on Jenes, an atoll planet. Their society - run from the shadows by the Four Families - revolves around trade, economic deals, economic growth, and doing business.
NEW MINOR FACTION - THE EPISTIS
The Epistis were likely created as planetary guardians, charged with preserving their homeworld's fragile ecology.
PREVIOUS WIKI UPDATES
In case you missed it, we've recently unveiled the Cravers and Sophons prologue trailers as well as two new minor factions:
- the Mavros : while they obviously share common ancestry with the Sophons, they are known to be weapons experts, bounty hunters, and mercenaries.
- the Kalgeros : evolved from a marsupial-like species, they're whole society is built around a unique martial art called the "Mardamari".
