Fiat lux.



<span class="bold">X Rebirth</span> and <span class="bold">Home of Light - Complete Edition</span>, the vast sci-fi simulations where you go into space adventures that will deeply affect the universe, are available now DRM-free on GOG.com for Windows, Mac, and Linux, with a 50% launch discount.

The future is a scary place but one rife with opportunities for daring spacefarers. As the universe realigns itself, preparing for the upcoming changes looming on the horizon, our young protagonist and his female ally will set out seeking adventure aboard their ramshackle spaceship, unaware of the deep impact they will have on the events already set in motion.

X Rebirth is a huge sandbox, which allows you to make a fortune by trading or fighting, and eventually even build your own empire which will harbor an abundance of resources or bolster your military prowess. After a rocky release, it has come a long way and now X-Rebirth: Home of Light opens up the universe even further, bringing new missions, new enemies, and new weapons with which to conquer them. The Complete Edition also features the Teladi Outpost DLC, where you get to venture into a dangerous station teeming with smugglers, pirates and other space troublemakers, that will help or hinder you on your way to master the endless galaxy.



Seize your rightful opportunities in the sandbox galaxy of <span class="bold">X Rebirth</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com. For an even more varied adventure, consider picking up the all-inclusive <span class="bold">Home of Light - Complete Edition</span>, also going for 50% off. Or <span class="bold">upgrade</span> your universe later, with a 20% discount.
The launch discounts will last until February 29, 2:59 PM GMT.

Glad this is here now too, it'll be interesting to see what this version is like.

Ah, now it's on the front page. Showed up in my New To You list and couldn't find the announcement. :)

Nice discount, love me some 4X space games, so will probably get thanks to this nice discount.

It's more of a space sim rather than 4X imho :P

Wish I could buy this, but my Intel Core Duo won`t run this.

Now this is something to my taste.

So was this released just to complete the series on here?
33% positive ratings on Steam doesn't seem al that good.
I'm hoping this means it's been improved significantly since release.

I'm hoping this is because of it improving massively since release. (I don't know how much changed with those patches)
The game got kinda slaughtered at launch, but the 4.0 patch (released just now) and the Home of Light expansion are supposed to make huge improvements to the whole thing.

Here's hoping, I'm waiting to get home and play it finally.

Oh, is it? Well, that's not a bad thing either. Is this revision similar to Homeworld? Works for me if so.

Nah, it shares more similarity with games like Freelancer or Elite rather than Homeworld :)

As someone who bought Rebirth when it launched on Steam, I can confidently say with 99% certainty that it must surely have improved since then, because it was a huge mess at the time. It's the game that made me decide never again to buy any game before seeing plenty of reviews. I say this as a huge fan of the various X3 games.

It might be worth having a look at the Egosoft forums to get an idea of what state the game is in now, before buying.

Not really, it's more like a space sim with management.

beware. this game is a fucking total dog to learn to play.

there is a mammoth sized learning curve and necessary time investment. you literally need to play at least a half dozen hours.. just to start to be able to play the game.

also, rebirth was horrible frakenstein creature when it came out. no idea if it's good now. Egosoft is known for supporting their games, to the point that they are almost entirely different games by the time they're done patching, but this game was really bad when it came out. I'm also curious to know if they actually fixed it.

Ah, thanks, I think I grasp it now. Might hold off for a bit then. Probably need a more powerful PC anyway. :P
