New faction the Riftborn bring time manipulation to Endless Space 2
The Riftborn are built around this new time-altering mechanic, which can apparently be leveraged to change the entire course of a game.
"Hailing from an alternate dimension orthogonal to the Endless universe, the Riftborn would've happily led out their abstract, timeless existences entirely ignorant of galactic strife, were it not for a breach that precipitated a disaster of unimaginable proportions,” say Sega.
“Like a poisoned blade slashed deep into clean flesh, the rift acted as a source of terrible disorder in the Riftborn's pristine, geometrical universe. Desperate, unable to halt the disease's advance no matter what they tried, the Riftborn took the last available course of action that might lead to their survival: Together with their strange time-shifting abilities, they stepped into the Endless universe."
The Riftborn faction will be available in Endless Space 2 on March 23, as will a bunch of other changes and a new multiplayer mode that supports eight players.
