Deep Silver to publish X3: Gold
Edition from Egosoft
Gold Edition includes X3: Reunion
2.5, X3: Terran Conflict 2.0, "The Aldrin Missions", and a soundtrack CD
The computer game developer Egosoft
and Deep Silver, the games label of Koch Media today announced the upcoming
release of the X3: Gold Edition. The agreement includes world-wide rights
(except for the USA, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean).
The collector’s edition contains
both X3 games, including all add-ons. The new add-on "The Aldrin Missions" for
X3: Terran Conflict is released for the first time, offering numerous additional
missions, ships, and sectors. The X3: Gold Edition represents the grand finale
of the X trilogy, providing many hours of gaming fun.
For those who like to experience
that outer space atmosphere outside of the game as well, the X3: Gold Edition
also contains a soundtrack CD with music from X3: Terran Conflict.
The award-winning space drama X3:
Reunion 2.5 begins in 2935. The Argon fleet is stretched almost to breaking
point by the continuing attacks from the aggressive Khaak, while ruthless Yaki
pirates hunt for a mysterious relic, and an equally mysterious machine,
obviously left behind by an ancient species, poses a whole new set of
questions…
X3: Terran Conflict 2.0 creates a
bridge back to Earth’s solar system. The player gets to take on the roles of
various characters from the X universe, or a Terran military pilot, and set out
on numerous adventures in the most extensive world of all X games ever. X3:
Terran Conflict 2.0 raises questions such as: how has Earth changed in the
course of all those years? How are the relationships between Earth and its
brethren from the X universe going to develop?
The new add-on, "The Aldrin
Missions", features the colony of Aldrin, which was lost centuries ago, and is
now once again joining the Terran system. The Terrans are quite eager to
reestablish the connections between Aldrin, separated from the rest of the
universe for so long, and Earth. The Terrans are putting a huge effort into
recolonizing the system that had been presumed lost for so long. The player
takes on a crucial role in shaping this new Terran frontier, while exploring new
Terran stations and facilities, and making use of a new ship and numerous
additional features.
Personal Uplink: Both games now
allow players to connect to Egosoft’s new "Personal Uplink" community and
compare their achievements within the X universe to those of others.
X3: Gold Edition will be released
early in the 2nd quarter of 2009.
