From Amplitude Studios:
In preparation for this year’s gamescom 2016 the award-winning development team Amplitude Studios, recently acquired by SEGA Games Co., Ltd, has pulled back the curtain today on two new integral factions from its upcoming turn-based, 4X space-strategy game, Endless Space 2. Sophons and Cravers return from their debut in Endless Space and will be available in the Steam Early Access version releasing later this summer.

These two new videos demonstrate the curious, analytical and knowledge-seeking Sophons – dangerously driven by their thirst to discover and understand – and the scary, all-consuming insectoid lifeforms, the Cravers.
Amplitude is now eager to roll out its Faction Creation Contest, designed for its robust community to submit its own concept for an entire faction in Endless Space 2. The first phase of the contest begins today, Thursday, August 11, and ends Thursday, October 13. The Faction Creation Contest is designed for all interested gamers to submit a fully-fleshed out faction to be included in Endless Space 2, with the GAMES2GETHER Community picking the winner. Participants can submit their concepts for review HERE.
The contest comprises three phases:
- Game Design: Every faction in Endless Space 2 contains unique gameplay traits and functions. How does yours differ, fight, defend, and live? Here, you’ll also include a light backstory/biography.
- Visual Design: What will your heroes look like, what is their habitat and how will your spaceships reflect and expand on your race’s beliefs?
- Narrative Design: Expand on the background idea to develop their culture, their beliefs, how they interact with other factions or fight against enemies.
Assets can be found in our press room here. For more on Endless Space 2, visit Amplitude Studios on its website, like it on Facebook, and follow it on Twitter.
