Hi everyone,
At last... We can finally tell you the good news we have been keeping to ourselves. Amplitude Studios is proud to announce the development of the first Neo Geo X exclusive title for the upcoming console called:
ENDLESS SPACE – Wings of Freedom.
This Endless Space spin-off will offer a brand new 2D horizontal shoot ’em up experience to all Neo Geo X players. Dedicated to involving the gamers in the creation of their games, Amplitude Studios is once again inviting all players to follow and discuss the creation of this new game.
Amplitude CEO Mathieu Girard (aka AmpliMat) says: “We are all big fans of the SNK platforms here at Amplitude Studios, and we have always dreamt of creating something unique for the Neo Geo. The release of the Neo Geo X seemed like the perfect opportunity to make that dream come true. We know shoot ‘em up fans have high standards of quality and we aim to live up to them. We’re very excited to bring the Endless Space universe to a new type of players and we hope that success could even lead to a collector AES version of the game.”

Background story
Science has always believed that at any galactic core sits a black hole of tremendous size and density. Following a trail of Endless ruins, based on map fragments found on a lunar temple, a Sophon exploration group is about to discover that this may not be the case... Hopping from planet to planet and system to system, the fleet must fight off increasingly large and powerful waves of automated defenders bent on preventing them from unveiling the truth.
Challenges and questions await the player as they drive toward the core: What secret are they hiding? What treasures – or horrors – lie in wait? And just how long can my thumbs keep this up?
