Update #29 of ENDLESS Legend 2, Retold Tales, went live on July 1, 2026, while the game was still in Early Access. It replaces the quest window, rewrites the main quests of the Kin of Sheredyn and the Necrophage, and adds new artwork. The point is simple: a complaint raised in the first weeks, a story that took too many clicks, finally gets a concrete answer. > **Update, October 26, 2026:** ENDLESS Legend 2 reached version 1.0 on September 17, 2026, with the Sandshapers, two Rogue Factions (Order of Zelevas and Severed Claw) and the Mangrove of Harmony. See the [launch announcement on Steam](https://steamcommunity.com/games/3407390/announcements/detail/708909256508702876). ## A rebuilt quest window Amplitude explains in the [Update #29 notes](https://steamcommunity.com/games/3407390/announcements/detail/698768548504275366) that the community missed the narrative presentation of the first Endless Legend and found the old one too click-heavy. Quests now open in a larger window, with an opening text that sets the scene and a piece of art. Dialogue plays on its own, text speed is set in the options, and a left click shows the full line. The rework was also a chance to add 2D art for major and minor factions. Minor factions that still lack their illustration share a temporary picture. The resource panel stays visible during events, which helps compare choices and rewards, according to the [June state of the game](https://steamcommunity.com/games/3407390/announcements/detail/683005314840136081). ![ENDLESS Legend 2: view of a Saiadha city with its red-roofed districts](https://after-strategy.com/images/articles/endless-legend-2-retold-tales-roadmap-custom-factions-2026/screenshot-1.webp) ## The Kin of Sheredyn and Necrophage quests The Kin of Sheredyn quest is the oldest in the game, and the faction has changed a lot since. Chapters 1 and 2 are swapped: you start with a cautious builder chapter, then move to exploration objectives. Nested choices create four branches from chapter 1, to vary playthroughs. Chapter 3 becomes an investigation rather than another rescue of Pryjza, and the tie to the United Empire from Endless Space 2 is made clearer. The Necrophage quest is rewritten for tone. The designers want a hive driven by instinct, dangerous rather than merely strong. Some Necrophage see outsiders as prey, others as a source of knowledge about the world. Rarely triggered branches are cut, such as the one that asked you to ransack a hero haven, in favor of more compelling objectives. ![ENDLESS Legend 2: hero on a sandstone cliff among red trees](https://after-strategy.com/images/articles/endless-legend-2-retold-tales-roadmap-custom-factions-2026/screenshot-2.webp) ## Resources and roadmap The resource window gains three heavily requested tools: automatic selling above the maximum stock, bulk buying and selling, and automatic booster renewal. Events also become less frequent, and lone wolf events only trigger after the hero reaches level 7. The summer roadmap is the part to read carefully. According to [Shacknews](https://www.shacknews.com/article/149865/endless-legend-2-dev-roadmap-update-july-2026), it places faction world quests, minor faction improvements and quality-of-life tweaks in a July-August window. A new playable faction and more minor factions are planned for 2026, undated. Custom Factions and the Endless Monsoon are not part of it: they shipped on March 12, 2026 with [Update #16](https://steamcommunity.com/games/3407390/announcements/detail/497222951593050269). ![ENDLESS Legend 2: strategic map of a city and its hex territory](https://after-strategy.com/images/articles/endless-legend-2-retold-tales-roadmap-custom-factions-2026/screenshot-3.webp) ## What to watch The July public branch, opened on July 16, already tests what comes next. It redoes the awakening quests for each major faction, partly disables simultaneous turns so the AI only moves its units after you end your turn, sharpens minor faction asymmetry and buffs the Necrophage, per the [public branch announcement](https://steamcommunity.com/games/3407390/announcements/detail/717910748082209039). The risk is a two-speed story: only two of five faction quests are redone, and Amplitude says art is still to be finished for some minor factions. The 1.0 date had not been announced by the end of July. ## Going further - [Our Endless Legend 2 hub](https://after-strategy.com/en/jeux/endless-legend-2/): every article on the game. - [Endless Legend 2 1.0 release date and the Sandshapers](https://after-strategy.com/en/endless-legend-2-release-date-1-0-sandshapers-september-2026/): what came after the roadmap. - [Endless Legend 2 faction guide for 1.0](https://after-strategy.com/en/endless-legend-2-faction-guide-1-0-2026/): the playable factions. ## Sources - - - - - - - - Source : [Endless Legend 2: Retold Tales Rebuilds the Quest Window and Two Faction Quests](https://after-strategy.com/en/endless-legend-2-retold-tales-update-roadmap-2026/) — After Strategy
