X3: Reunion announced for Q3 2005

The X series will hit the PC once again in 2005. A console version is also planned.

EGOSOFT has announced that they will be releasing X³: Reunion on PC in Q3 2005. The developer had planned to release an expansion to X²: The Threat, but that has now been cancelled, with X³ being the next game in the series. A console version has also been announced but details have not yet been revealed.

X³: Reunion is built on an engine that makes full use of DirectX 9 technology, which enables players to be part of one of the most realistic worlds ever created. Bernd Lehahn, CEO of EGOSOFT commented on the latest game in the series. He said:

"'X³: Reunion' will see another huge leap in the evolution of space trading games. The decision to bring X³ forward, allows for many community ideas to be implemented. X² set a benchmark to be beaten, and 'X³: Reunion' will surpass this in every way possible."
