Development studio Amplitude has announced that it is breaking with publisher Sega to once again become a fully independent studio. This comes after eight years of ownership by Sega. Ownership of the studio is "returning to some of our original founders and members of the team," Amplitude announced, alongside, apparently, the games of the Endless universe that made Amplitude famous—Endless Space and Endless Legend.
Amplitude was founded in 2011 by former Ubisoft developers and acquired by Sega in 2016, since which it has released several games—with 2021's Humankind and 2023's Endless Dungeon being the two big releases that started and finished under Sega's ownership.
