Veteran Publisher Iceberg Interactive and award-winning developer Amplitude Studios are proud to announce that their highly anticipated 4X fantasy-strategy game Endless Legend will officially leave Early Access and launch on Steam later today.
The European boxed release for Endless Legend will hit retail stores in Germany, France and the UK one day later, and will include a full color manual and a beautifully crafted art book, showing the eight dynamic factions and dozens of examples of the French developer’s rich and distinct art style.
To celebrate the release, Amplitude Studios reveals the 8th and final faction for Endless Legend, ‘The Cultists of the Eternal End’ which was designed by the Games2Gether community. The art package accompanying this press release contains ‘The Cultists of the Eternal End’ faction reveal video, together with a faction card and brand new screenshots.

“Endless Legend has been a long time in the making and we are extremely excited for players to experience the final version of the game,” said Erik Schreuder, CEO of Iceberg Interactive. “Amplitude has done it again by delivering a beautiful, intriguing, absorbing and astonishingly fun game to add to the Endless Universe.”
“Endless Legend is our biggest and most complex game to date,” said Romain du Waubert, COO and Creative Director at Amplitude Studios. “By tapping into our responsive community and constantly looking to improve, we believe we’re offering 4X and strategy gamers something completely different to what’s on the market today. As with our previous game Endless Space and its many free upgrades, the release is the beginning of a great collaborative adventure between the studio and the players.”
About The Cultists of the Eternal End
“This mysterious cult led by two creations that are remnants of the Endless. The Queen, and the Unspoken, a wandering – and perhaps insane – being of enormous power.
Left alone on the planet for millennia, they have turned against their creators and sworn to destroy every trace of their existence.
The Cult maintains a single city where the Queen is entombed in her indestructible throne. Its power therefore is projected across Auriga through proselytization and conversion, when the faithful followers and heroes of the Cult convince other, lesser peoples to join their cause.
The Cultist can recruit, train and arm these converts from the tribes and vagrants that live scattered across the surface of Auriga. Regardless of where they are or to whom they have previously sworn allegiance, when a tribe turns to the Cult it does so until its death.
Monolithic fanatic, and ever-expanding, the Cult of the Eternal End will spare no effort, costs, or sacrifice to see that its will is done”.
