X3 enters retail orbit
Enlight Interactive announced today that it has begun shipping X3: Reunion. X3 is the latest attempt at combining intergalactic economics, diplomacy, space combat and exploration in one game. Picking up where X2: The Threat left off, X3 features a new 3D engine with a new physics model, new ships, and a new dynamic economy that allows players to corner markets and monopolize industries. Adding to the economic complexity are non-player characters that can build factories and trade freely.
Enlight also paid more attention to the story than in previous installments of the series. While the gameplay is still open-ended, where a galaxy-scale war serves as a backdrop for the discovery of a mysterious disappearing ship, an ancient relic, and ruthless space pirate attacks.
X3: Reunion on the PC is Rated T for Teen and retails for $39.99. An Xbox version of the game was originally planned, but has since been canceled.
