About X³ REUNION:
As war escalates; in a galaxy full of battleship commanders with itchy trigger fingers; as pirates prey on the weak and unwary; a mysterious figure seeks to build a machine left by an ancient species.
Hurling you into space at a million miles an hour, X³ is the most incredible space sim ever seen. With a fast paced, twisting feature film of a plot, X³ offers galactic scale free play, state-of-the-art graphics, immense space stations, fleets of ships, A.I. that is intelligent, a complex new trading system and fast interactive space combat.
Fight, Trade, Build, Think
Published by DEEP SILVER, developed by EGOSOFT and distributed exclusively by KOCH MEDIA, X³: REUNION is set for launch Q3 2005 on PC-DVD.
