X Rebirth is a single-player space trading and combat game being developed by Egosoft, published by Deep Silver. It is the fifth installment in the X universe adventure video game series, following X³: Terran Conflict (2008), as the new sequel to the last game title.[1] It is scheduled to be released in the first quarter of 2012 on PC for Microsoft Windows,[2] however, Egosoft Director Bernd Lehahn has stated that X Rebirth will not be available on consoles,[3] it will feature a whole new user experience, it is easier than ever to start with, and remains as deep as fans expect it.[4]

Synopsis

Its story shows a more focused effort on specific characters than Egosoft's previous 'X' effort;[6]

"In the distant future, the X universe faces a period of profound and irrevocable change. While the universe stumbles towards an uncertain future, countless adventures await as new enemies rise in search of power. Enter a young adventurer and his unlikely female ally traveling in an old, battered ship with a glorious past - two people alone against the galaxy, playing a key part in the events to come."[7]
