Endless Space 2 is the sequel to 2012's spectacular Endless Space, a 4X newcomer at the time that managed to squeeze in just as the sudden resurgence of excellent space-based titles hit the market. Four long years later, Amplitude Studios are back and this time releasing to Early Access for fan feedback. In a growing trend seen in gaming, the sequel is taking what it learned from in the first release and its many DLC, and adding to and expounding upon that knowledge for the sequel. Endless Space 2 is shaping up to be the new reigning king of space-based 4X strategy.

Sega-owned Amplitude Studios is running a free weekend on Steam for Endless Legend, Endless Space 2, and Dungeon of the Endless.

Slime, grime, and redemption are the stars this week in the “Muck & Makers” Endless Space 2 free update, available now via Games2Gether. Enjoy all the trappings of a space-dump fairy tale: a clumsy-but-lovable amphibian hero, a minor faction hell bent on turning trash into treasure and, naturally, a quest called “Munchie Madness”.
