The time has come: after seven long years of development, X Rebirth is finally available.

X Rebirth marks a new beginning in the history of the X Series and draws fans new and old into an unbelievely large, living and richly detailed universe, just waiting to be explored.

Once again, underpinning X Rebirth are the four long-standing and familiar cornerstones of the X Series.

TRADE! A fully simulated economy in which every action has consequences. Every ship you see has a task. Stop a freighter from reaching its destination and its cargo will be stopped too, causing prices to rise.

FIGHT! From small scale skirmishes to epic fleet encounters, battles in the X Universe know no limits. Choose to fight for the military, work for the police or be a lawless pirate, or if you prefer just fight when you need to defend yourself - it's up to you!

BUILD! Create your own empire! From trading stations to large factories, farms to high-tech military complexes, everything can belong to you.

THINK! A rich, detailed history and a deep complex plot await you, but you are free to decide when and where to take part.

Action-packed space battles, a realistic trading system and many opportunities for exciting discovereies as you travel the universe, mean you can enjoy a unique space opera with countless hours of gameplay.

This release is the start of a whole new journey, and we hope that you will join us in populating and shaping the universe over the years to come. We have a long history of working with our player community, through rough and smooth, and doing our best to turn their hopes and ideas into reality. We hope that you will share your views and feedback with us and help us to improve and expand the new X Universe as we add new features as well as solving any problems you may run into.

In the next few weeks we will also be reopening our DevNet Ideas forums, where you will be able to show us your ideas for the future.

But enough talk. To your cockpit, and may your deeds restore the "Albion Skunk" to its former glory as the "Pride of Albion"!

We hope you enjoy X Rebirth!

November 2013, Bernd Lehahn, Managing Director, EGOSOFT GmbH

We have now finished sending out all German X Rebirth and X Rebirth CE orders paid for before November 14th, and all English X Rebirth CE orders paid for before November 8th.

Steam Pre-Load has started

Only one week until the release of X Rebirth is left. Time to start the Steam Pre-Load.

If you have X Rebirth activated on Steam, you can start the installation now already.
As soon as X Rebirth is then released on November 15th, you will be able to play it right away.

Our first batch of the English Collector's Edition for X Rebirth has sold out, however we were able to secure an exclusive second production batch. So you can once again order the English Collector's Edition in our online shop. Unfortunately the logistics of producing an extra batch mean that we may not be able to ship orders placed after November 6th until the end of the month! If you ordered on or before that date, don't worry, you will get a box from the first batch and we will dispatch your order as soon as we get the delivery.

Of course you can still order the regular box edition or the German Collector's Edition, however the numbers are decreasing fast so you might want to hurry up and place your order if you haven't yet.
