Independent videogames publisher Iceberg Interactive today announces its publishing agreement for Endless Space, the highly anticipated 4x space strategy game for PC, with Paris-based videogames developer Amplitude Studios. Recently released by Amplitude for pre-order on Steam, Iceberg will now be bringing the game to other digital download portals over the coming weeks and has set a retail release date of 24 August 2012. Localized French and German versions are also planned.
Erik Schreuder, CEO of Iceberg interactive says: “We are thrilled to add Endless Space to our growing range of excellent space strategy games. Endless Space promises to be quite the gem, and given the experienced background of the development team that’s not a surprise. It looks stunning and is incredibly deep, yet you can make steady progress in expanding your universe and deciding the conflict for galactic supremacy. The game is really well thought out, has its own little in-game wiki, an excellent GUI and very challenging AI. I am convinced that this is a must-buy for all space strategy fans.”
“When you are an independent Developer, finding a publisher is always tricky. We have been positively impressed by Iceberg Interactive, both for their professionalism and their passion for strategy. Prior to signing our agreement, they had to playtest the game in depth, which says a lot about their commitment regarding the games they publish. Teaming up with Iceberg was a no brainer for us” says Mathieu Girard, CEO of Amplitude Studios.
