Passion Paris, part of the award-winning global animation studio Passion Pictures, is partnering with Amplitude Studios to develop a new animated series set in the Endless universe. The series is currently in development at the Paris studio, in close collaboration with Amplitude’s creative team.
“We’re so excited to be stepping into the Endless universe,” said Caroline Audebert, MD/Executive Producer at Passion Paris. “Amplitude has built a world that’s rich with lore, characters and atmosphere and we’re working closely with their team to develop a visual style and storytelling approach that captures what players already love about the series, while opening the door to new stories and audiences.”
The project builds on Passion’s experience in the gaming space and joins its growing slate of animated series, spanning genres and audiences. Recent work includes 400 Boys, directed by Robert Valley for Netflix’s Love, Death + Robots, and Not a Box, the new preschool series launching Friday, June 13 on Apple TV+ and being previewed today at Annecy International Animation Film Festival.
The announcement follows Amplitude’s reveal last Sunday of the early access release date for Endless Legend 2, marking an important milestone in the ongoing evolution of the Endless universe. With this new animated series, Amplitude and Passion say they will deepen that world and bring it to life in a new format, connecting the games and episodic storytelling in a cohesive, long-term vision.
The Endless Universe is a vast science-fantasy IP built upon the ancient ruins of an extinct god-like civilization called ‘The Endless’. Crafted by Amplitude Studios and the community, it’s a world with more than 80 civilizations, hundreds of heroes, and countless stories that range from small personal narratives to grand space operas. The universe hosts five award-winning games (Endless Space, Endless Legend, Dungeon of the Endless, Endless Space 2, Endless Dungeon) and continues to expand with Endless Legend 2, a fantasy turn-based strategy game, set to release later this year.
