Passion Paris, in partnership with acclaimed game developer Amplitude Studios, is embarking on an exciting new venture: an animated series set within the beloved Endless universe. This groundbreaking collaboration was officially unveiled during the prestigious Annecy Animation Festival, marking a significant step forward for both studios and fans of the franchise. Caroline Audobert, Managing Director and Executive Producer at Passion Paris, expressed her enthusiasm, stating, "We’re so excited to be stepping into the Endless universe." Audobert highlighted Amplitude’s masterful creation of a world brimming with rich lore, compelling characters, and a captivating atmosphere, emphasizing that Passion Paris is working closely with Amplitude’s team to develop a visual style and storytelling approach that authentically captures what players already adore about the series. This partnership promises to not only honor the existing fanbase but also to open doors to new narratives and broader audiences. The timing of this announcement is particularly noteworthy, coinciding with Amplitude’s recent reveal of the early access release date for "Endless Legend 2," a monumental achievement for the franchise and a testament to Amplitude’s continued dedication. With the animated series, Amplitude aims to significantly expand the universe’s narrative reach, bringing its intricate mythology to life in a completely new and visually stunning format. Romain de Waubert de Genlis, CEO and co-founder at Amplitude Studios, further elaborated on the significance of the project, stating, "Endless is a universe we’ve been shaping with passion for years, hand in hand with our community. Seeing it take a new leap forward through this partnership with Passion Pictures is truly a dream come true." This collaboration underscores Amplitude’s commitment to fostering a strong connection with its community and translating its beloved world into a dynamic, accessible medium. Passion Paris’s established reputation for excellence is a crucial element of this venture. The studio’s recent involvement in high-profile animated projects, such as "400 Boys" (directed by Robert Valley for Netflix’s "Love, Death + Robots") and the upcoming "Not a Box" (debuting on Apple TV+ this Friday), demonstrates their ability to deliver exceptional animated content. Crucially, Passion Paris distinguishes itself through its commitment to creative diversity, meticulously matching artists, directors, and visual techniques to the unique demands of each story. This approach ensures that every project receives the individualized attention it deserves, resulting in consistently high-quality animation.
Founded in 2011, Amplitude Studios has rapidly ascended to become one of the most respected names in strategy gaming, largely thanks to its flagship Endless franchise and the acclaimed 4X title "Humankind." The Endless universe itself is a sprawling and complex science-fantasy world, encompassing five critically acclaimed games and featuring over 80 distinct civilizations and hundreds of memorable characters. The addition of an animated series, coupled with the impending release of "Endless Legend 2," promises to further immerse fans in this expansive and richly detailed universe. This collaborative effort represents a bold new chapter for both Passion Paris and Amplitude Studios, poised to captivate audiences with a visually stunning and narratively engaging animated experience.
