A new world awaits strategy fans! ENDLESS Legend 2, the turn-based strategy game developed by Amplitude Studios and published by Hooded Horse, has been available in its full release on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series since September 17, 2026. After several months in early access on PC, the second installment in the series is arriving on consoles for the first time. Players can lead different factions, develop their civilization and fight battles in a fantasy universe whose territories evolve over the course of each game. A physical edition is also available for PS5.
The new entry once again sends players to Saiadha, an oceanic world whose landscapes shift as the seas recede and cataclysmic events unfold. You’ll build a network of cities, marshal armies led by heroes with diverse skills, and explore this ever-changing realm to uncover its secrets. The Version 1.0 also expands the palette with several new factions, including the Keepers of the Sands, an ancient civilization seeking to restore Saiadha to its former desert visage, as well as the first renegade factions and a new minor faction, the Harmony Mangrove, developed with the community.
The full release also marks the game’s debut on consoles. Players will be able to experience ENDLESS Legend 2 on Steam, Epic Games Store, Microsoft Store, PS5 and Xbox Series starting from September 17, 2026. A new demo is already available on PC and consoles, featuring two playable factions, while two physical PS5 editions, developed in partnership with Strictly Limited, are open for pre-orders with select retailers.
Our review of Endless Legend II:
We tested the full version of the game after getting an initial hands-on preview a few months ago. You start straight on the map, with a tutorial on building your city, creating factions and completing the various missions assigned to you. However, you'll need to play through several turns before you start encountering other peoples—friends or enemies—and can wage war on them or establish diplomatic relations.
As a reminder, the concept: this is a turn-based strategy game set on the island of Saiadha, where you play as different factions (such as the Heroes or the Aspects). The idea is to establish your people and manage conflicts through force or diplomacy, while developing your faction's skills as you progress through missions. Movement across the map is based on a system of movement points per turn.
The game also features changes to the map linked to weather and the seasons (monsoons, typhoons), which permanently alter the terrain and affect where cities are positioned as the game progresses.
Now, our tips:
Newcomer or veteran, dive right in! You don't need to have played the first Endless Legend to understand what's going on! If you want to jump in without knowing anything about the series—or even strategy games in general—you can go in with your eyes closed: everything is explained well enough (and the community is always there to help). Veterans will quickly find their feet again, while enjoying a rich, dynamic narrative presentation that offers a fresh way to approach each campaign.
Play it in French! One tip for getting off to a good start: switch the game to French as soon as you launch it. The game is much easier to understand in our language, making it much easier to read the wealth of information on screen and grasp the diplomatic and narrative nuances.
Take the time to get to grips with the interface The game can be quite complex to get the hang of at first, with a lot to remember. Don't skip the tutorial; it really helps you find your way around. Once you realize that the various menus are arranged on either side of the screen, everything flows much more smoothly and you can get going without a hitch!
Plan for the weather's whims and choose your play style Always keep an eye on how the terrain is changing before setting up a stronghold or city, so the weather doesn't catch you off guard. Don't hesitate to try out several factions, either, to mix things up between direct combat and diplomacy. The turn-based system works very well and adapts to your pace.
Manage your movement carefully Keep an eye on your movement points (up to five per turn): using them at the right time is essential to positioning your troops well on the map.
Have fun!
