ENDLESS™ Space 2 is turn-based 4X space-strategy that launches players into the space colonization age of different civilizations within the ENDLESS™ Universe. Your Vision. Their Future.
It’s been a while since we’ve got you some news and some of you have been wondering where Endless Space 2 is headed; in the meantime, we’ve been working hard to add features, fix bugs and generally improve the game. In this endeavor, we have distributed all the planned upcoming content between four milestones, as described in the Roadmap shared by Mathieu on the Dev Blog, each one with its fair share of new content and improvements.
Even though we will do our best to ensure everything is delivered on time, please keep in mind this might be subject to change due to production constraints and whatnot, thus forcing us to bump some items of an update into the next one. Similarly, as much as we’ll try to avoid it, some content might be first delivered with placeholders and then updated later.
Anyway, I hope this post will give you better visibility on what will happen for the rest of the Early Access and without further due, please find the milestones detailed below
