A new expansion for Endless Legend, a 4X strategy game has been announced.

Named ‘Shifters’ it will include a new Major Faction called The Allayi, a race that can ‘shift’ during long winters. What this means is unknown but I guess we’ll discover eventually. All factions will also be able to collect a new resource called the ‘Pearls of Auriga’ – these combine with the ‘Altar of Auriga’ to allow you to unlock new powers and modify the upcoming winter’s impact. Seems the cold will be extremely relevant during the expansion.

This news was announced during a livestream celebrating the studio Amplitude’s fifth birthday and also came with the news that starting a new game of Endless Legend, Dungeons of the Endless and Endless Space will bag you a new character for each. This is only if you do it without mods and before the 25th though. So hurry if you want to take advantage of the offer!
