Games Overviews

Egosoft’s games take place in the X
universe – a far-flung universe populated by a number of alien races with their
own agenda. The X-Universe is a living vibrant place with fast-flying space
ships and colorful and deadly battle sequences. The player can Trade, Fight,
Build, and Think their way to universal domination.

X3: Reunion begins in 2935 AD, eons
after an ancient and long-dead species left behind a mysterious machine. The
space drama quickly unfolds as Yaki pirates search the universe for this machine
and for mysterious relics. The warring Kha’ak continue their aggressive attacks
on the Argon fleet which is now stretched to its limit. Can you change the
course of history?

X3: Terran Conflict 2.5 offers
players the choice to play as a pilot of various X-Universe races and embark on
exciting adventures spanning the largest X-Universe yet. Terran Conflict
features a host of engaging storylines which the player can choose to get
involved with or ignore. There are new Terran resources, stations, ships, and
sectors for the player to discover and help to shape the future of the Terran
frontier.
