Release Date

[xenoncore123]

Kind of asking this because there is no topic on the release date, im assuming the reason why Rebirth took around 5 years to make was because of the new engine programming and from the rendered graphics and style im assuming X4 will be based on this engine that Rebirth is derived from.

So what are we looking at, i know Egosoft don't rush their products so im not worried in asking for a release date, im assuming that all you would need is AI Programing, 3D models and Textures, UI, New music and sounds and some miniscules like cargo wares and types and sector universe mapmode.

Looks like the map UI was finished, some 3D models and textures, and you certainly don't need to reprogram an entire engine.

Im thinking Economy and Warfare, and civilisation progression and AI training are left to do.

Im thinking about 2 years - 3 years until X4 release maybe sooner since you arent programming the entire framework for a new engine and that.

Does anyone know?

In the stream they have said next year but I wouldn't be surprised if that slipped into early 2019.

Yeah, locking to avoid too much doomsaying speculation here.
