Amplitude Studios (Endless Legend, Endless Space) was founded in 2011 and bought by Sega in 2016, and now one of its founders Mathieu Girard has moved on to start a new outfit with a mission to tackle a different genre than the ones tackled by Amplitude Studios.
"When I decided to leave Amplitude Studios for new adventures, it was obvious to me that I needed to make my oldest dream come true and develop the deepest, most immersive and most accessible tactical RPG," explains Mathieu Girard via press release.
The new studio is based in Paris, France and the mission statement reads as follows: "the ambition to deeply advance the mechanics of CRPG (Computer Role Playing Game) through technical innovations and new gameplay mechanics brought to the three main aspects of the genre: combat, exploration and storytelling."
