Endless Space 2
Endless Space 2 is turn-based, 4X space-strategy by Amplitude Studios that launches players into the space colonization age of different civilizations within the Endless universe.
Your Vision. Their Future.
Heroes all have an "origin" faction but can be used by any of the eight playable major factions of the game. They all have a specific class, a political party they support and special skills they can unlock.
All heroes in Endless Space 2 will have "Academy" spaceships. Their ships will have special layouts and will be able to equip unique modules giving them the edge in space battles.
Lore: When the rift tore a hole in the very fabric of the Riftborn's universe, most of e's worldmates fled in terror. Not e. Fascinated by the universe on the other side of the rift, e was one of the first Riftborn to begin analysing the tear–and one of the first to seriously considering breaching the Endless universe. This curiosity led to e piloting the first craft through the rift and into the galaxy with a small team of empiricists. Unfortunately, contact with the home dimension was lost, and e and its team became stranded on a barren, rocky nomad world passing through a red-supergiant star system. Despite making great strides in understanding the complex ecologies of the planet, the rapidly receding star meant the world grew colder and colder. One by one, e's teammates succumbed to the freezing temperatures. When things seemed utterly lost e had an epiphany though. Setting up an emergency beacon, e used the cold to put itself into a state of suspended animation. Eventually rescued by Haroshem scavengers, e was brought to the attention of the Academy who were more than happy to bring e into their fold.
