Endless Legend 2 is escaping early access in September and adding new major, minor and rogue factions
Endless Legend 2, the strategy game that impressed players during its early access period, will launch its full 1.0 version on September 17, 2026. The game has been available in early access since 2025, and the imminent full release marks a significant milestone for the title.
The 1.0 launch will introduce several new factions to the game’s existing roster. Most notably, the Sandshapers will make their debut as the final major faction joining the game at launch. According to the developers, the Sandshapers represent the oldest civilization on the fictional planet of Saiadha and are focused on terraforming the world’s predominantly water-covered landscape into arid desert environments.
Beyond the Sandshapers, the September update will also add new minor and rogue factions, expanding the strategic options available to players. These additions complement the faction variety that was already available during the early access period.
The early access period appears to have been successful in refining and developing Endless Legend 2. The game’s positive reception during this phase has enabled developer Amplitude Studios to expand the game’s content before the official launch. The September 17 release date marks the end of early access and the beginning of post-launch support.
