Okay, strategy fans, the wait is officially winding down. Endless Legend 2 is leaving early access and launching its full 1.0 version on September 17, 2026, developer Amplitude Studios and publisher Hooded Horse announced. Ready to conquer some new territory? Same.
For everyone who has been watching this fantasy 4X sequel grow, the finish line is finally in sight. It’s like waiting for the final chapter of a massive fantasy epic to drop—the pieces are all on the board, and the world is about to get a lot bigger. And here’s the thing: it’s not just a PC affair anymore. When launch day hits, the game is making a simultaneous debut on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S too.
According to the development team, the 1.0 update will expand the game's roster by introducing major, minor, and rogue factions. That includes a group of terraforming desert dwellers who are ready to completely reshape how you look at the map.
The details
Hitting 1.0 is always a massive milestone for an early access game, but launching simultaneously on consoles is a serious play for a deep 4X strategy title. It widens the empire-building pool on day one, bringing the genre's signature slow-burn tension to console players at the exact same time as PC veterans.
So, what's your opening move going to be? Are you going to lead those terraforming desert dwellers to glory, or do you have your eye on another faction? Hop into the Nexzy forum and let us know how you're planning to conquer the map on launch day!
