Amplitude Studios is giving their players a very special Christmas gift this season: the 3rd free add-on for their acclaimed 4x space strategy game Endless Space.

The new add-on will be made available through Steam later today and will be titled ‘Light of Polaris’. The add-on will include new Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud, Holiday Specials and various other exciting new features.

In this interlude of unexpected peace, somewhere, far in the northern hemisphere of a great arctic planet, beneath the cold snow and the wailing winds, explorers have made a discovery.

Rumbling forever below the glaciers, an old installation of the Endless, still tended by descendants of the original workers, churns tirelessly throughout the frozen nights. Raw materials are collected, goods are produced and packaged, and an endless stream of boxes disappear into ships, portals, and sleds for distribution. What is this unceasing travail? What is the purpose of these strange, colorful, impractical objects that they build? Should you be curious, you must look to Mr Erram Zen Eerbee for an answer. There is an ancient secret there from before the time of space travel; a secret that is hidden behind the twinkle in his eyes…”
