Egosoft announced today the release of Version 2.6 of X3: Terran Conflict on
STEAM. The new release includes a new STEAM exclusive achievement system and the
"NEW HOME" plot for its space game opera X3: Terran Conflict.
EGOSOFT also announced availability today of its X3: Terran Conflict Bonus
Pack.
Starting with Version 2.6, this ultimate space simulator will introduce STEAM
achievements and all of EGOSOFT’s existing (DVD) customers can update their
non-STEAM versions of the game to a STEAM version for FREE.
Version 2.6 also features the long-awaited NEW HOME missions, which promises
to be quite an adventure for current players who like their THINK missions.
Concurrent with the release of Version 2.6 is the long-awaited arrival of the
X3: Terran Conflict Bonus Pack. This popular fixture of previous X titles will
offer some of your favorite script plugins, developed by members of the
community. Among the more popular scripts to be made available in the Bonus Pack
are the Commercial Agent and the Commodity Logistics Software.
Upcoming “Dead is Dead” Game Mode
In addition to the new achievements, EGOSOFT is now also actively developing
a new game mode called "DEAD IS DEAD" inspired by the story of Squiddy McSquid (part
1 and
part 2) that gained popularity on our online forums and inspired many
players to try this gameplay style. This mode will save some information through
the STEAM network and as a result players can continue playing after saving, but
they can never revert back to a savegame after they die. A thrilling experience
for those who are strong enough!
“The 2.6 update is a special event for us because the development of the new
Steam technology is a response to suggestions from our community,” said Bernd
Lehahn, CEO of EGOSOFT. “We read the “Squiddy” story about a “Dead is Dead” mode
and liked it a lot. We thank our friends at Valve for allowing all existing
customers to activate these features for free.”
