Over $13M Funding

This funding comes after Amplitude Studios became independent from Sega, which had acquired the company in 2016. Now operating independently, the studio has stated its intention to return to its roots as a developer of strategy games. Endless Legend 2 will be among the first major projects developed under this new phase. The studio aims to use the funding not only to support game development but also to reinforce its community-centered approach, which has been a central part of its identity since its founding.

In an interview with GamesBeat Frankie Zhu, a partner at Griffin Gaming Partners, commented on the investment by acknowledging Amplitude’s established role in the strategy game genre. He noted the studio’s consistent ability to deliver games that are well-received by both critics and players. Zhu emphasized Griffin’s interest in working with Amplitude as it continues to develop strategy-based game universes informed by its player community.

Focus on Creative Vision and Community

Romain de Waubert de Genlis, CEO of Amplitude Studios, stated that the return to independence allows the studio to further pursue its original creative goals. He emphasized that the partnership with Griffin is not intended to change the identity of the studio but to enable it to move forward with greater speed and autonomy. According to de Waubert, the studio is already actively working on new projects and looks forward to sharing them with its audience.

Continued Emphasis on Strategy Games

Amplitude Studios has built its reputation on producing complex and engaging strategy games. With this new round of funding, the studio intends to continue developing in that direction while expanding its capacity and refining its creative process. Endless Legend 2 is set to be a central project in the coming period and is expected to reflect the studio’s renewed focus on depth, design, and community input.

As the studio begins this next chapter, the investment marks a notable development in the gaming industry, particularly among independent developers aiming to grow sustainably while maintaining a clear creative focus.
