We are pleased to announce that X3: Albion Prelude 2.5 is now available! The latest update includes a new Terran plot and a number of bugfixes.

While defending the Terran territory against continuous attacks, the USC high command has been prepairing a secret mission to weaken the war efforts of the Commonwealth races for quite a while. Now the time to start "Operation Loose Ends" has come.
In a series of covert operation missions the player will be sent deep behind enemy lines to help the Terran Federation getting the better of the war again. Rewarded with new technologies the player will be able to change the universe even more than before.

As well as adding a new plot, the latest development also eradicated some annoying bugs. Amongst others, the ATF rank is linked to the Terran rank now, war ships give player escorts more time to leave the war sectors and war ships will no longer try to self-destruct, once they have been captured. As usual the complete changelog can be found in the documents folder of your X3 Terran Conflict addon directory.

X3: Albion Prelude 2.5 is available now for download over Steam. The Steam client will automatically update your game to the latest version, provided it has not been configured to prevent this.

As always we'd like to thank our loyal army of community members, testers and volunteer developers for their contribution to making this update the success we hope it will be. In particular we would like to thank Cadius for the Terran HQ.


To celebrate the release of version 2.5, the X-Games will be available on Steam with a 75% discount until the 26th July again. If you have not taken the chance to complete your collection, another one just waits for you now!

Today Egosoft proudly presents a new trailer for our forthcoming X3: Albion Prelude update 2.5, which will lay the focus on a new plot. The trailer sheds some light on the reasons behind the partial destruction of the Earth Torus and on the destiny of Saya Kho.

Betrayed by their brothers and sisters, the Argons, the Terran federation has been waiting for the right moment to strike back. Now, the time has come. In "Operation Loose Ends" the player is dispatched deep behind enemy lines to weaken the Commonwealth war efforts. Gaining new technologies he will play an even more important role in the war.

No manual download of the update will be necessary; X3: Albion Prelude will be auto-updated by Steam as soon as it is available.

The Steam Summer Sale has just started and the X-games are included. Until the 23rd July all X-games will be available with a 50% discount. If any X-games are missing from your collection, now is the time to complete the set!
