Hey everyone!


You might have guessed from the numerous hints we've been dropping on our forums and elsewhere, or even the fact that we are currently holding a closed beta, we've got some cool stuff coming up in the next update! Coming out Thursday, November 16th, Endless Space 2: Galactic Statecraft will include numerous new features, balance changes, and reworks of existing features, all designed for a more immersive experience in the Endless universe.


We will showcase some of these features all throughout next week, and of course, we will have our traditional launch stream on Thursday at 5PM CET to give you a taste, just before the update drops. Don't forget to tune in! If you like, you may follow the channel already to get notifications when the stream goes live.


It would be unfair to just say "the update is coming!" without giving you at least a hint of things to come, so without further ado, here's a glimpse of Galactic Statecraft:


  • IMPROVED ALLIANCES COORDINATION TOOL
  • CONTEXTUAL DIPLOMACY
  • PRESSURE RETAKE
  • PIRATE LAIRS
  • THE HERETIC'S QUEST REWORKED REWARDS
  • HALL OF FAME
  • WEAPONS RETAKE
  • CONSTELLATION CONTROL
  • NEW EVENTS
  • POPULATION GROWTH NEW VISUALS (ORBITAL STATIONS)


And the best thing is? All of this is coming to Endless Space 2 for free! Join us next week as we'll dive into the most exciting features!

*Raises Hand* I would like a "little pony" minor faction that adds grassy medows to every planet (regardless of type) and changes all planet rings to rainbows.

This can be a great add! Improved alliances, diplomacy, pirate lairs... all sounds very good.


...By the way, when are you going make the fight more fun? Because now it's like: ship 1 shoot to ship 2 during two minutes, ship 2 explodes, the end.

Need more interactivity, i think.

Anyone know what they mean by "retake" when they mention Weapon and Pressure retake? Does that mean re-balancing those systems?

Sounds like a great idea, diplomacy wasnt the base game's strongest area. Really gald to see you guys working more on ES2. Hopefully we could see the inklings of a paid expansion soon? :)

This one is not out for a few months yet. We'll let you know. ;)

Retake means we're not just balancing features, but also modifying the way they work. It's basically "revamp", but in sexy, suave French devspeak instead.

No loot boxes? Man thats what all the new hip games are doing....

That i fricken hate

Oh not so fast!

Loot boxes are indeed granted to the players having access to the Hall of Fame, but the oppening phase is ENDLESS. So you have to pay with real life Dust or Essence to accelerate the process.

Can't wait for all these. Alliances, influence pressure and diplomacy in general needed a rework, and I'm looking forward to seeing what the other new content ends up being like as well. Am I correct in assuming "Weapons retake" means the reworked roles we currently have in the G2G balance mod?


Hopefully "The Heretic's quest reworked rewards" also comes along with rebalanced victory condtions, if the final chapter itself doesn't launch earlier that is. While victory conditions are much better than at release and in the current version the last chapter of the said competitive quest does manage to launch before the match is over, it's still usually too late into to the game and the match most often ends before you have time to get down to Lodestone capturing phase of the quest.

Are we getting any new unique planets with this update? I just love the lore behind some of them and It would be awsome if some of them get expanded on, like unique quest chain for whoever colonises them, with special rewards that you can't get elsewere (such as population, ship modules or special laws).

Рус - Я изливаю свою благодарность разработчикам, парни у вас есть та закалка и атмосфера в ваших игра которых нет у других игр стратегического плана.
Eng - I pour out my thanks to the developers, guys, you have that tempering and atmosphere in your game that no other games have a strategic plan.
