Amplitude Studios announces on X that is no longer part of SEGA, and the Humankind developer is once again independent. Word is the split is amicable:

We're thrilled to announce that our studio is officially returning to independence!

Amplitude is now owned by members of the internal team, meaning that the future of our studio and games is staying in the hands of those who know them best.

Being part of the SEGA family and working with their team for the past 8 years has been an incredible journey. We've learned so much, have grown in ways we never could have imagined and have made great friends along the way. As our paths now head in different directions, we're parting ways on the best of terms and we'll continue to cheer them on as they take on new and exciting things in the future!

By returning to our indie roots we're getting back to the heart of what drives us: creativity, innovation, and close-knit collaboration with our community. These values have shaped who we are from the beginning, and will lead the way forward in this exciting next chapter.

Thank you for being with us every step of the way!
Here's to a new beginning, and to all the amazing things we'll create together.
