It’s been a decade since Endless Legend, the 4X genre’s most inventive weirdo and the closest thing we’ve got to a modern Alpha Centauri, launched—we’re long overdue another one

The 4X genre remains popular among gamers, with Endless Legend, released a decade ago by Amplitude Studios, being a standout title that combines sci-fi and fantasy elements. It is set on the diverse planet Auriga, featuring various factions and unique fauna. Recent games like Humankind and Old World have prompted discussions about the genre's evolution, with Humankind being criticized for its derivative nature and Old World praised for its innovation. Amplitude Studios recently parted ways with Sega, raising uncertainty about a potential sequel to Endless Legend. The game is currently available at a discount, priced just over £5, with the entire Endless series (excluding Endless Dungeon) available for under £20.
