Returning to our Roots

Hello everybody!



We have big news to share with you today: Amplitude is going indie again!

Our journey with SEGA over the last 8 years has been amazing, and we have learned so much working with them, but now we are returning to our roots as an independent studio. With ownership of the studio returning to some of our original founders and members of the team, the creative vision of our games and the Endless universe rests in the hands of those who know them best. While we are going our separate ways now, we part on good terms and wish our friends at SEGA the best for all their future projects.


Back to Our Roots


In the words of our founder Romain de Waubert de Genlis:

Our studio is backed by strong and meaningful franchises and our team is committed to creating the best games possible. With our extensive experiences in strategy game development and two exciting titles currently in progress, we are confident in our ability to deliver outstanding experience to players. This decision allows us to be more agile in our approach while continuing to shape the vision that has been ours from the very beginning, empowering us to push boundaries and be closer as ever of our community.

Working closely with our players has always been at the heart of our philosophy, and this will continue to shape our approach in the future. We could not have made these games and this universe without the support of our wonderful community. Thank all of you for your continued support!

We’ve got a new Humankind patch soon, but we’ll share more details about that next week, and we will talk more about what we have in store at Amplified next January, so remember to join us for our anniversary.


So, here’s to the future of Amplitude, our amazing community, and the Endless universe!

That's great! Indie indeed seems to be the way...
On a side note, would this turn of events mean we have a chance of seeing Endless Legend and Humankind on GOG?
I'd love to get the former there...

ES2 was likely mostly done before the Sega buyout.
It was the last game made worth playing if you ignore the last couple of DLCs. 
What on earth did Sega have the studio doing for almost a decade; supporting CA and working on Hyenas?

As Horatio once said "Only Horatio can surpass Horatio." 

Best of luck in this new Journey!

Woo! Great to hear.


Does this also mean that you can finally stop using (and remove) Denuvo so that I can start buying your games again?

Congrats on a move back to what always should have been. I am looking forward to more in the Endless Universe for sure!

Well, DotE and Endless Space games are DRM free on GOG... So there's that, at least.

Ok, but since Humankind and most endless titles are owned by SEGA, how is that going to work on future updates and projects?

Not sure it is a good news actually. It reminds me of Hairbrained Schemes.. hopefully it will turn into a good thing !


What about the intellectual properties ? Endless games licences are still owned by Amplitude or do they belong to Sega now ?
