X4: Foundations News

The new year is in full swing and we continue to work hard on the upcoming major update 3.0 for X4: Foundations and its first expansion, X4: Split Vendetta. The next big step is today's release of the fifth public beta version for the 3.0 update.

The list of changes, optimizations and additions for update 3.0 now contains over 400 entries. The complete list and details on how to participate in the public beta of X4: Foundations can be found as usual at bit.ly/x4foundationsbeta.

Please note that this public beta version of the 3.0 update does not include new story content - this will be added at a later date.

Join us tonight (Friday December 20th at 9pm CET / 8pm GMT / 3pm EST / 12pm PST) on our YouTube channel, Twitch channel, Facebook page or Steam page to watch the new episode of our #XLOG video series live with others, while we'll be interacting with you in the chat.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]In our new "XLOG" video series we will be giving you a deeper look behind the scenes of X4: Foundations and EGOSOFT. In this series, we will introduce you to various features of our titles in more detail, let the respective experts from our team have their say, and try to answer some of your questions. We look forward to your feedback, which we hope to use to help guide the future direction of the video series.

In our first XLOG episode, Egosoft founder and managing director Bernd Lehahn talks about the current development of X4: Foundations, the recent start of the 3.0 public beta as well as the upcoming expansion X4: Split Vendetta.

Have fun with XLOG #1!

As you might have already noticed, you can now again nominate games for the annual Steam Awards. We would be very happy if you'd consider X4: Foundations for a nomination. In our opinion, the "Labor of Love" category suits us pretty well, doesn't it?

The Labor of Love Award "This game has been out for a while. The team is well past the first unveiling of their creative baby, but being the good parents they are, these devs continue to nurture and support their creation. This game, to this day, is still getting new content after all these years."

X4: Foundations is about to celebrate its first birthday. A Steam Award nomination would be a great honor for our entire team, who are currently working hard on the upcoming major 3.0 update of the game.

Thanks in advance!

Just a few hours after releasing the 3.0 Public Beta for X4: Foundations yesterday afternoon, we hosted a live stream from our office to chat about the public beta, the 3.0 update and the upcoming X4: Split Vendetta expansion.

You can now check out the recording of the live stream in case you missed it last night:
