Internally here it was a pretty fast development that started recently when we were working on the plot of X: Rebirth. When did development start, and where did the idea or inspiration for the game come from?īernd Lehahn: Its hard to put a date on where development started exactly, because some of the work came from external modders who already worked on their projects for years.

Enjoy!īrian: This game has pretty much surprised everyone, as it seemed to come out of nowhere. I was put in touch with EgoSoft’s Bernd Lehahn, who was nice and gracious enough to answer some questions, the answers to which you’ll find below. When I came out of that shock, I contacted the PR folks covering X3: Albion Prelude and asked for more info. Therefore, not only to have a new game announced, but to have its release be mere days away, came as a shock. As far as I and nearly everyone else knew, the next X game was X: Rebirth, due out next year.

When X3: Albion Prelude was announced last week, I was as surprised as anyone.

We've got more info on Albion Prelude and Rebirth.
