With the scheduled release date of X3: Terran Conflict getting closer, Egosoft and the European publisher Deep Silver have today released a promotional video covering one of the four facets of the game - BUILD.

The video shows some new stations and ships as well as a brief look at the new, improved interface and menu system. In the voice-over it also mentions more about some of the other upcoming content such as new ship classes.

You can currently view and download the video at the Deep Silver website, but of course Egosoft is already preparing downloads from their own servers as well, from where you will be able to choose your preferred video format and size.

As soon as they are up, we will update this news article.

Enjoy the show!

UPDATE 08/01/2008: As promised the video is now available for download from the Egosoft servers. There are low and high quality versions available, both encoded using "xvid(AVI)"-format.

Egosoft and Deep Silver narrow release date down.

Computer games developer Egosoft and Deep Silver, the games label of Koch Media, a leading producer and distributor of digital entertainment products, are releasing ten new screenshots from the game X³: Terran Conflict today.

The screenshots show the high quality and level of detail of the X³: Terran Conflict graphics engine as well as the variety of the X Universe.

You can find these screenshots in our newly opened Screenshots section for X³: Terran Conflict

Gamers can take on the roles of different characters in the X universe, or of a Terran military pilot, and experience a multitude of stories in the largest X universe ever featured – for X³: Terran Conflict will offer more missions than any other X game before. Meanwhile, X³: Terran Conflict will pose questions such as: How has Earth changed in all these years? And how will relations between Earth and its counterparts in the X universe develop?

X³: Terran Conflict is scheduled for release end of September 2008.

Egosoft wishes all members of our community and all guests a Happy Easter and a hard-working Easter Bunny!

The guys at Egosoft will be taking it a little easier over the Easter Break, but have left a little surprise for you.

Happy hunting!

Just a month ago X³: Terran Conflict was announced, but little information is yet available. Today Egosoft present a first short teaser video for the game.

It shows some of the new ships and weapons in action. We hope you like this little foretaste.

As usual the video can be downloaded from the Downloads section of this site.

Have fun!

Computer games developer Egosoft and Koch Media, a leading distributor of games and application software, today announced the conclusion of an exclusive publishing and distribution agreement for the title X³: Terran Conflict. X³: Terran Conflict will be released under the Deep Silver label.

"The X series has always been one of our top quality brands, and an integral part of the Deep Silver portfolio," states Dr. Klemens Kundratitz, Managing Director of Koch Media. "So we are very happy to be presenting the gripping next installment of the X universe's story in X³: Terran Conflict."

"We look forward to adding another successful chapter to the X story, together with Koch Media," says Bernd Lehahn, Managing Director of Egosoft.

As promised in the last X-Universe News, everything you need to develop your own missions using the Mission Director has now been made available by the Egosofties. Some of you are already making good progress in creating your own mission and game content.

You can find a topic regarding the Mission Director in the Scripting and Modding section of our forums. There you can get answers, download the files, read ongoing discussions about missions in development.

As is mentioned in the documentation you'll find with the Mission Director, this version is only a technology demonstrator and as such is provided 'as is' and is unsupported by Egosoft. That means we won't be making any changes or updates to it. That's not to say we don't care. Volunteers who already have significant experience with the MD are standing by to assist. Translations of the MD Guide are already being prepared for German and Russian.

In addition to the example files provided with the MD we thought it would be nice to share with you the very first mission designed using the MD. This mission was developed by CBJ and Toastie way back in Spring 2006 and is based on the X³ plot's first mission. This first mission was an important step on the way to developing the functionality you see today in the MD. Enjoy.

It's Christmas and, as you have come to expect, there is a gift for you - a new christmassy newsletter from Egosoft: "X-Universe News 26 Christmas Edition".

And for those of you who are not satisified with just one lovingly designed newsletter, there is more - the "Uplink" update for X3 and X2. Finally, after weeks of speculation and a few fans getting a little bit impatient, it's here: "X3: Reunion 2.5 Uplink", and for the nostalgic amongst you: "X2: The Threat 1.5 Uplink".

We hope you enjoy it and we wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Your Egosoft Team.
