Now a subsidiary of Sega, this Paris-based team is ready to launch the latest game set in the Endless universe. Since 2011, Amplitude Studios has been creating games that seemed to follow familiar beats, but really managed to stand out because of interesting mechanics and surprisingly deep stories. But this studio takes the baby and tells it “We have some people that we would like you to meet,” and tosses it at a crowd of fans where it suddenly finds itself crowdsurfing. They hold it close, let other people see it only under tight supervision, and when it’s all grown up they send it out the door with the hope that it will one day send them back big stacks of cash to make all the heartache worth it.Īmplitude Studios is a bit crazy. I know many developers out there treat their games like it was their baby.
