Animation Studio Ardour Paris is joining forces with the renowned game developer Amplitude Studios to create an exciting new animated series set within the beloved Infinite universe. This highly anticipated announcement was made during the prestigious Annecy Animation Festival, where Ardour Paris is also showcasing its upcoming preschool series titled “Not a Box”. This collaboration signifies a major step forward in merging animation with interactive storytelling, aiming to captivate audiences of all ages.

“Entering the Infinite universe fills us with immense excitement,” expressed Caroline Audebert, managing director and executive producer at Ardour Paris. “Amplitude has crafted a world rich in lore, diverse characters, and immersive atmosphere. We are collaborating closely with their talented team to create a visual style and storytelling approach that resonates with the elements players already cherish, while also inviting new narratives and audiences into this expansive realm.” This commitment to authenticity and creativity is sure to enrich the viewing experience.

The unveiling of this collaboration arrives shortly after Amplitude’s announcement of the early access release date for “Infinite Legend 2,” marking a significant milestone for the franchise. Through the new animated series, the studio aims to broaden the narrative scope of the Infinite universe and bring its intricate mythology to life in a visually striking format. This endeavor reflects a growing trend in the gaming industry, where franchises are increasingly exploring cross-media storytelling to engage their fanbase.

“Infinite is a universe we’ve passionately developed over the years in close collaboration with our community. Witnessing it evolve through this partnership with Ardour Paris is truly a dream realized. We take great pride in this collaboration and eagerly anticipate seeing this journey unfold in a completely new visual format,” stated Romain de Waubert de Genlis, CEO and co-founder of Amplitude Studios. Their shared vision promises to deepen the lore and expand the universe in compelling ways.

Ardour Paris is exceptionally equipped to bring the Infinite universe to life on screen. The studio has recently been involved in several high-profile animated projects, including “400 Boys,” directed by Robert Valley for Netflix’s “Love, Death + Robots,” and “Not a Box,” which is set to debut on Apple TV+ this Friday. Rather than adhering to a singular animation style, Ardour embraces artistic diversity, aligning artists, directors, and animation techniques with each unique story. This flexibility is crucial for creating narratives that resonate with diverse audiences.

Founded in 2011, Amplitude Studios has established itself as one of the most respected names in strategy gaming, primarily due to its flagship Infinite franchise and the historic 4X title “Humankind.” The Infinite universe encompasses five critically acclaimed games, featuring over 80 civilizations and hundreds of characters, each contributing to its rich tapestry. With “Infinite Legend 2” on the horizon, the addition of an animated series is poised to further immerse fans in this expansive science-fantasy world, enhancing their engagement and connection to the storyline.
