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 the best news of the year !!! Sorry to say that, but it comes from the bottom of my heart, your games were less good under Sega's direction.

Hyenas

Hyenas came to mind, but I guess I didn't think that Amplitude was involved with it at all.  Unless, you're implying that the financial loss of Hyenas somehow affected Amplitude?

If I remember well, you justified your move to the big SEGA family with financial stability reasons.

How secure are you financially now to enable getting back from the future? That's the key question.

From a revenue perspective, you can count on me to continue buying your excellent products... but I am just a drop in the ocean of course...

I think this is very good news. I am thrilled to see you guys going back to your roots, those roots that created the awesome games that this community loves so much. With less contractual responsibilities and more creative freedoms, I think you guys are going to be able to create great things. I wish you the best future possible. Much love.

Not gonna lie, was expecting something like that brewing in the background.


And two new projects? Woof, I hope the HK patch will be meaty, because that's likely a farewell to the game, then, no? All in all, best of luck, for all hands on deck, Amplitude is full of beautiful people, who were always a joy to meet on streams and wherever else we got to interact.

Ni dieu, ni maître : vive l'indépendance et vive Amplitude Studios !

Je vous souhaite le meilleur avec ce retour aux sources. Vous avez les équipes et le soutien de la communauté pour nous cuisiner les plus beaux chefs-d'œuvre.

On vous aime!

Glad to see a humankind patch is in the works, idk if it has been said, but since Civ 7 is taking a few ideas from Humankind, is there any plans for amplitude to breath some life into this game with maybe some additional mechanics? Maybe revamp ocean play a bit?

Do you have enough money, manpower, skill and experience to make a better game than before? That's my only concern. 

Where is my new Endless series? Legend and Space are fine.
