Overview
- Publisher Hooded Horse and developer Amplitude Studios announced on Tuesday, August 4, 2026 that Endless Legend II will leave Early Access and reach version 1.0 on September 17, 2026 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series, with two physical PS5 editions available for pre‑order.
- Version 1.0 introduces the Sandshapers as the game’s sixth major faction, an ancient civilization whose play is built around terraforming the ocean‑covered world back into desert through new units, heroes, technologies and a faction quest.
- A community‑designed minor faction called the Mangrove of Harmony will join at launch with its own hero, questline, recruitable units, village types, a new population and two hero skills.
- The update adds Rogue Factions, which are splinter variants of major factions with unique quests and mechanics; the first two at launch are the conquest‑focused Order of Zelevas and the enslaving Necrophage offshoot The Severed Claw and more Rogue Factions are planned after release.
- A refreshed demo is available now on Steam and consoles featuring the Kin of Sheredyn and The Last Lords, and the move to consoles plus physical editions expands the PC‑centric franchise while setting up ongoing post‑launch content and updates.
