Endless Space 2, the sci-fi strategy game from developers AMPLITUDE Studios, has gotten its first DLC; The Vaulters. The expansion brings one of the most popular factions of the Endless Universe: the Vaulters.
Following the events happening in Endless Legend, this stubborn, and resilient people have left the dying planet of Auriga, seeking a new home to build their future.
The Vaulters has also gotten a new trailer, which you can see above. Describing the new addition to Endless Space 2, AMPLITUDE Studios have said:
“The Vaulters have spent centuries seeking a home. Stranded on the world of Auriga, they had to survive the harsh climate and even harsher neighbors. Once more among the stars, following their uncontested leader Ilona Zolya, the people that now call themselves the Aurigans still seek traces of their past as well as a safe place to finally call home.”
One of the new groups to be brought to the game is the Pirates. Pirate Diplomacy is a new powerful tool to get along with these space outlaws. In exchange for payment, you can now get a special treatment by supporting them, and even use them to ruthlessly attack other factions. Vaulters even have the special ability to mask their ships as Pirates.
The new DLC is set to bring some new features to the game, including:
- Vaulters major civilization
- Sister of Mercy Minor Faction
- Vaulters heroes
- Vaulters special node
- Vaulters main quest
- Pirate Diplomacy
- Opbot (hero)
- Exotic ship modules
- Additional Deeds

The game itself takes the classic “one more turn” formula to new heights. You will explore mysterious star systems, discover the secrets of ancient races, build colonies on distant planets, exploit trade routes, develop advanced technologies of unthinkable power; and, of course, encounter new life forms to understand, to court or conquer. Players can lead one of eight civilizations, each with a unique playstyle affinity and story quest, and build great stellar empires capable of imposing your vision on the Galaxy.
