Amplitude showed off more of their upcoming 4x strategy game today, with another faction we can expect to see in Endless Space 2.

For those who don’t know, Endless Space 2 is a sequel to another 4x strategy game. You basically grow your faction’s population, colonise planets, fight other factions or choose diplomacy to negotiate with them – all while managing resources, space, troops and much more besides. The game is turn-based and decisions will have to be made with how to handle things like overpopulation, battles that you get into and so on.

Shown off today at Gamescom was the third playable faction they’ve introduced us to, the Lumeris. Primarily money-making and trade obsessed, the Lumeris’ bonus means that they are able to buy new planets for colonisation instead of going through the processes of making a mothership and flying it over to set up the outpost to grow to a colony.

We’ve still no ideas about how soon we can expect to see this game coming to our various platforms, but rest assured we’ll be keeping an eye on its progress.
