Sega acquires Amplitude Studios, developers of “Endless Space”

Sega Games announced its acquisition of Paris-based Amplitude Studios. Sega claimed the move will (cue news reel music) strengthen its roster of PC games and development across Europe.
 

Amplitude Studios, which has worked on the turn-based science fiction game series, Endless Space, was founded in 2011 by former Ubisoft employees. Over the last five years, the studio has released a variety of Windows PC games including Endless Space, Endless Legend and Dungeon of the Endless. The studio is currently working on a followup to Endless Space, called Endless Space 2.

But don’t worry. The acquisition won’t be putting a halt on Endless Space 2; Sega is set to publish the upcoming sequel, which enters Steam Early Access later this year.
