Estamos encantados de anunciar el lanzamiento de la actualización 2.60 para X4: Foundations. Los cambios y arreglos más importantes incluyen:

• una mejor muy significante en la economía del juego
  
• mejor navegación, tanto para los sistema de guiado del jugador como para las naves controladas por la AI
  
• se han actualizado los menús generales y de información de las estaciones
  
• se ha añadido doblado de voces en el idioma Ruso
  
• un montón de pequeñas mejoras y arreglos.

La lista completa de cambios puede encontrarse aqui https://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=402960. Quisiéramos agradeceros a todos vuestra colaboracion y ayuda durante el proceso de testear las versiones beta de esta actualización.

También tenemos que informaros que la expansión previamente anunciada X4: Split Vendetta y la gran actualización 3.0 asociada para X4: Foundations, desafortunadamente, no conseguirá su objetivo original de lanzamiento en el cuarto trimestre de 2019. Ahora tenemos como objetivo una nueva fecha de lanzamiento dentro del primer trimestre de 2020 tanto para la expansión de X4: Split Vendetta como para la actualización 3.0. Una vez que nos acerquemos un poco más, podremos anunciar una fecha más específica.

Lamentamos mucho este retraso y nos gustaría pedir disculpas a todos los propietarios de X4: Foundations Collector's Edition, que incluye las dos futuras ampliaciones... Durante el desarrollo de la expansión de X4: Split Vendetta y de la actualización 3.0, han surgido una serie de cosas que realmente queremos ver implementadas, optimizadas y fijadas a tiempo para el siguiente gran paso adelante de X4: Foundations, con el fin de satisfacer nuestras propias expectativas y las tuyas. Simplemente necesitamos un poco más de tiempo para hacerlo.

Con el fin de daros una idea del desarrollo actual de nuestro juego, en breve anunciaremos una fecha para un AMA en Reddit con Bernd Lehahn, Director General de EGOSOFT, donde podréis hacer vuestras preguntas sobre la serie X y específicamente sobre "X4: Split Vendetta" y la actualización 3.0. También estamos planeando hacer otra transmisión en vivo en nuestro canal Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/egosoftofficial) con Bernd y otros miembros del equipo donde estaremos mostrando 2.60 y responderemos más de vuestras preguntas.

Observa este espacio para ver anuncios de fechas específicas tanto para la próxima AMA como para la transmisión en vivo.

Gracias por vuestra comprensión y paciencia.

X4: Split Vendetta is the next chapter in the X4: Foundations story. This is the first big expansion for X4, greatly increasing the size of the universe and introducing two new Split family clans along with their economy, new ships, weapons and station modules.

Along with the Update 3.0 to X4: Foundations, the X4: Split Vendetta expansion brings exciting new missions and adventures to the game. New gamestarts allow an even more varied experience in the biggest sandbox this side of the galaxy.

TRADE with the Split families or FIGHT against them. BUILD your own station designs based on the new modules and THINK carefully on your path through the new diplomatic missions.

Both "X4: Split Vendetta" and the free 3.0 update to "X4: Foundations" will be released in the fourth quarter of 2019. "X4: Split Vendetta" is the first of two expansions that will be available to owners of the "X4: Foundations Collector's Edition".

Watch the trailer for "X4: Split Vendetta" here.

For the first time ever, EGOSOFT will have its own booth at gamescom in Cologne, the world's largest event for computer and video games. You can meet us from August 20 to August 24 2019 in the new "Indie Village" in hall 10.2. Drop by and take a first look at the "X4: Split Vendetta" expansion and the big 3.0 update to "X4: Foundations" before they are released together in the fourth quarter of 2019. We are looking forward to meeting you at gamescom!

We are pleased to announce the release of 2.50, which introduces some new features to X4: Foundations as well as fixing a number of issues with the game. We have added a whole new class of Auxiliary ships, and associated resupply orders, to help you support your fleet. We have also added a blacklist feature to enable your ships to avoid dangerous areas, and new inventory management functionality so that items collected by your pilots can be transferred to you or to a safe location. Also with this release, the Linux version of the game is now available to all players, and Tobii eye-tracking is supported for those of you playing on Windows.

Full release notes are available here.

Rest assured that this release is just part of our ongoing program of fixes and features, and that the focus of our next update will be on improvements to the in-game economy.

EGOSOFT is happy to announce the availability of X4: Foundations Update 2.00 including the following main features:

• Player owned shipyards, wharfs and equipment docks: Players can now build and operate their own shipyards. This allows leaving an even deeper impact on the game's economy. Build ships for yourself or deliver them to the war factions. Participate in the faction wars on the highest possible level or just make a lot of profitsss.
  
• Steam Workshop integration: Starting with version 2.00 X4: Foundations now also supports installing game mods via the Steam workshop. This will make it easier than ever for players to try out some of the already existing cool X4 mods!
  
• Rebalancing of fight and economy: With Update 2.00 we changed a lot of parameters of the game economy and fight balancing. The goals include making crew gaining experience a bit easier, but also making a lot of changes to the turret and capital ship fight balancing.

As with the previous updates there are many more features and improvements, and the Russian as well as Japanese localisations have now made it out of beta. Find the details about all fixes and features here: Release Notes Update 2.00.

Together with the release of 2.00 we also have a new edition of our X-Universe News with additional details on what's next as well as a special treat: the first chapter of the new book Yoshiko by Helge Kautz.

Recently we discovered a video about X4: Foundations by Bluedrake42. We have not influenced or sponsored his video, but we are definitely pleased he's so excited about X4 and we wanted to share his review. It's been a great joy for the entire team at Egosoft to hear all of his comments.

"There have definitely been a few problems with bugs, and the learning curve has always been a little bit high due to the massive giant economy... but I have to say X4 is the best version of all the X Games in my opinion - the UI is way better and easier to navigate, the controls are way more streamlined." - Bluedrake42 YouTube

Forum server maintenance has been concluded and normal operations have resumed.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

We are happy to announce today the availability of Update 1.50 of X4: Foundations. It adds the ability to ask people for directions, reintroduces a more talkative Betty shipboard computer and fixes a long list of issues. With this update, the game now also gets its first ever X online mode called Online Ventures.


Video explaining 1.5 and Online Ventures

X4: Foundations - Online Ventures

As a Christmas gift, the Egosoft team today releases our first experimental online gameplay mode for any X game into BETA. We call it "Online Ventures".

With X4: Foundations online ventures, every player can send a ship into other players' universes and allow visitors into their own.


Visitors to your universe can easily be identified in HUD and on the map.

They will see your ships the way you designed and decorated them (an exception is if you created your own custom logo).


Assign ship to a venture dock before sending it into a parallel universe.

After building a VENTURE PLATFORM and a VENTURE DOCK, you can send any S or M ship on a selected venture.


Different ventures unlock different rewards. For now they are all safe!

Ventures can take anywhere from one hour to several (real-time) days and will, with a bit of luck, unlock some exclusive rewards on success.


Every player can get one venture platform and one venture dock and build it on any station or on his or her player HQ.

More information about how this works can be found in our X4: Foundations Manual. We want to thank Dave "Sparky" Parker, Dom "Snafu_X3" Hughes, DrSuperEvil, Euclid, YorrickVander and many other WIKI contributors for their irreplaceable help with the X4: Foundations manual and WIKI.

IT'S A BETA - More to come soon!

While the online venture gameplay is now available to all with the normal version of X4: Foundations on Steam and GOG, the online feature itself is still in BETA. There is no risk to your savegames or to stability, but the ventures themselves might go wrong.

Participation in this new online mode is entirely optional and only possible with one unmodified savegame at a time!

X4: Foundations Soundtrack now available

In case you did not get the Collectors Edition with the included soundtrack, there is also now the option to listen to Alexei Zakharov's great X4 Soundtrack via most music download and streaming platforms.

Happy holidays and a great 2019!

Happy holidays from the entire team. We are very much looking forward to building on this great FOUNDATION that is X4 with updates and expansions in 2019!

To better cope with the influx of new players our forum server will be moving to better hardware today.

We expect a downtime of a few hours until everything is back online and hopefully much more responsive.

UPDATE: Forum server migration complete.
