Big news and big changes for the future of the French studio Amplitude, which has decided to take off and announce its independence.
Amplitude Studios, based in Paris, has established itself as a reference in the world of strategy games with successful titles such as… Endless space, endless legend and humanity. Specializing in 4X strategy games (exploration, expansion, exploitation and destruction), the studio has captivated an enthusiastic audience thanks to its immersive worlds. But it’s time for them to go in a different direction.
Amplitude s’émancipe by SEGA
Amplitude Studios is regaining its independence following a buyout initiated by its employees. Sega Europe recently announced its separation, ending a collaboration that began in 2016. From now on, as an independent studio, Amplitude can fully concentrate on its own projects and thus regain complete creative freedom.
This decision was made after a period of consultation between both parties and allowed Amplitude to return to its roots. Romain de Waubert de Genlis, head of the studio, was happy with this new beginning. According to him, this independence will give the studio the necessary agility to pursue its original vision: to create innovative games and strengthen the connection with its community. “Amplitude is built on strong franchises and our team is committed to delivering the best games possible. This decision allows us to cross borders and get even closer to our community“, he emphasized.
A new era
At Sega, this departure is part of a restructuring of its operations in Europe. This restructuring led to the discontinuation of projects such as: Hyenas
Amplitude originally came to Sega to gain support and reach a wider audience. Today, this return to independence marks a new chapter for the studio. It intends to leverage its solid foundations and create even more daring games. All while maintaining a strong connection with his fan base.
