After Relic, Sega is parting ways with its strategy game maker Amplitude Studios, which will now be an independent studio.
Amplitude Studios, the maker behind 4X strategy games like Endless Legend and Humankind, is no longer under the gaming umbrella of Sega. In a financial update, Sega Europe today announced that a management buyout from staff has gone through, making the studio independent.
“The decision to part ways follows a period of close consultation between SEGA Europe and Amplitude”, says Sega in a statement. “As an independent studio once more, Amplitude will focus on its in-development projects and growing its own franchises, while SEGA will continue to advance its strong and diverse stable of Japanese and Western IP.
