Still pressing on with Early Access, Endless Space 2 is to receive its third major update on March 23 - coinciding with another space-based drama.
Finally making its way into the game will be a multiplayer mode with support for up to 8 players. Solar winds, nebulas and trading ships will appear with improved AI, battle systems and tech tree changes being among some of the features and improvements ushered in with the update.
Seemingly taking inspiration from the Harmony faction of the series' first foraye into space, the Riftborn will debut in the battle against the Endless after their reveal trailer painted a picture of avenging their pristine world that was corrupted by the stretching strain.

"Hailing from an alternate dimension orthogonal to the Endless universe, the Riftborn would've happily led out their abstract, timeless existences entirely ignorant of galactic strife, were it not for a breach that precipitated a disaster of unimaginable proportions. Desperate, unable to halt the disease's advance no matter what they tried, the Riftborn took the last available course of action that might lead to their survival: Together with their strange time-shifting abilities, they stepped into the Endless universe."
If you want to learn a little more about how the Riftborn function under the rule of the Grand Viceroy of New Coroz or their new home on Vanguard, read further into the official announcement post over here.
