January 29, 2026 - Hooded Horse and Amplitude Studios are excited to reveal the next steps for ENDLESS Legend 2 as it works its way through early access. Announced during the studio’s annual Amplified event, the new development roadmap promises custom factions, new art, additional mechanics, and more!
Next priorities include additional quality-of-life improvements and updates to features such as victory conditions, militias, and Hero skills. After that, custom factions will be introduced into the game, allowing players to mix and match their favourite aspects across the playable pantheon to create their own powerhouse to dominate Saiadha.
Also coming in a future update is a new end-game event called the Endless Monsoon, where the Keeper of the Depths will emerge, heralding the end of the world (and the game). Achieve victory, or otherwise survive as powerful monsoons batter the map. Still on the radar for early access after the first few months of this year are new 2D art, mechanics to improve tactical battles, anomaly districts, and a sixth primary faction.
"It's been an exciting and busy time since the release of the Early Access for ENDLESS Legend 2,” says Endless Legend 2 Game Director Derek Paxton. “There have been over a million games played, and the feedback from the community is shaping and improving the game. Based on this input, we’ve introduced multiplayer and made meaningful updates to battles, construction, victory conditions, and more. And this is just the beginning, as many new features and content are still to come as we move toward the full release of ENDLESS Legend 2."
Amplified is the studio’s community event dedicated to sharing what’s next, as well as celebrating the players who help shape the company’s future, other highlights from the show include:
-
ENDLESS™ Space 2 – The team have once again partnered with CaptainCobbs and the modding community to deliver a second Community Patch following the Re‑Awakening Update. This patch introduces key Nakalim fixes, AI improvements, and balance updates to manpower generation and ground combat, raising the overall challenge for players.
-
HUMANKIND™ – Following the Freya Update, HUMANKIND will receive a new Contemporary Era scenario chosen by the community. Set during Operation Cartwheel, it delivers large‑scale naval warfare with air and land support in the game’s most ambitious scenario to date. Both sides of the conflict are fully playable, offering distinct strategic challenges. The scenario will launch at a later date.
