ENDLESS Legend 2 Sets 1.0 Launch Date for PC and Consoles With Massive New Factions

The acclaimed 4X strategy saga is preparing to cross a threshold it has never reached before. Amplitude Studios and indie publishing powerhouse Hooded Horse have officially announced that ENDLESS Legend 2 will exit Early Access and launch in version 1.0 on September 17, 2026. The full launch brings the complex turn-based empire builder simultaneously to PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, marking the very first time the franchise has ever appeared on home consoles.

The transition to consoles marks a massive milestone for Parisian developer Amplitude Studios following its successful move to regain independence from Sega in late 2024. After launching onto Steam Store Early Access in September 2025, the grand strategy sequel has spent a year undergoing refinement alongside its player community. Version 1.0 will launch across PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store, and the Microsoft Store, while making its digital console landing on the PlayStation Store and Xbox Official Store.

What New Factions and Content Are Coming in Version 1.0?

Version 1.0 expands the fantasy world of Saiadha with a massive influx of new playable empires, minor factions, and custom playstyle variants:

• The Sandshapers (Sixth Major Faction): As the oldest civilization inhabiting planet Saiadha, the Sandshapers remember a forgotten era before catastrophic oceans covered the world. They view it as a sacred religious obligation to terraform the globe back into a sweeping desert realm. The faction arrives with its own dedicated questline, exclusive unit roster, custom heroes, and faction traits selectable in the custom faction creator.
• Rogue Factions (Major Variant System): A structural gameplay twist that reimagines established civilizations with radically altered mechanics. Launch variants include The Order of Zelevas (a conquest-driven militaristic offshoot of the Kin of Sheredyn) and The Severed Claw (a mutated Necrophage strain that can only replenish troop losses by enslaving foreign populations).
• Mangrove of Harmony (Minor Faction): Designed in close collaboration with the community, this starfish-inspired civilization introduces its own unique Hero unit, custom questline, fresh minor villages, recruitable army units, a distinct population demographic, and two exclusive hero combat abilities.

Is There a Free ENDLESS Legend 2 Demo Available on PS5, Xbox, and PC?

A updated, free playable demo is available immediately across Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

The demo gives players full access to two playable major factions: the military-heavy Kin of Sheredyn and the mysterious Last Lords. The refreshed demo reactivates previous time-limited preview content and expands it to console storefronts for the first time, allowing prospective strategists on all systems to test the game’s dynamic Tidefall water mechanics before purchasing.
