New in-game videos reveal the universe, stations, and controls
X Rebirth is back with impressive in-game videos and - finally - a release date. The action-packed space simulation from Egosoft and Deep Silver will be released in Europe on November 15, 2013. "After seven years in development, people are naturally wondering why X Rebirth took so much time," says Egosoft's Studio Head Bernd Lehahn. "The reason for this is the sheer scope of our project. We not only want our universe to be huge, we want it to be huge and teeming with life. To me, the success of the Star Citizen funding shows that many people are waiting for our kind of game. A single factory compound in X Rebirth may consist of hundreds of buildings, some of which are so large that ships measuring kilometers in length can dock inside them. The player can even disembark in order to explore the station and meet its inhabitants."
Players will be able to witness the visuals and gameplay of the new heavyweight space sim for themselves at the gamescom games fair from August 22 through August 25 in Cologne, Germany. The public will be able to play sections of the new Egosoft title at the Deep Silver booth in hall 9.1 B11/C10.
A new series of developer videos with commentaries revealing in-game materials is starting even now. New videos will follow regularly from now until the release.
