Gaming News - August 2003
Parkville, MD (August 22, 2003) - Enlight announced today that the
in-game rolling demo of X²: The Threat is now available for download.
From Enlight:
The sequel to EGOSOFT'S 1999 award-winning X: Beyond the Frontier, X² is
being praised by software reviewers for its spectacular in-game graphics.
The rolling demo can be downloaded from
www.enlight.com/x2 or
www.egosoft.com.
"The rolling demo of X² provides players with a glimpse of the incredible
in-game graphics and the highly detailed universe," said Paul Lombardi, CEO of
Enlight Interactive. "X: Beyond the Frontier was a global retail success. We are
very excited to be shipping this game across North America for the holiday
season."
X² contains a new state-of-the-art graphics engine and a large dynamic
universe for players to explore. Taking advantage of the latest graphics cards
capabilities, EGOSOFT has pushed the game's graphical boundaries to the limit in
order to create the most visually detailed universe ever seen. Using the latest
DirectX coding, the 3D engine features many spectacular visual effects including
volumetric Nebulae (gas clouds) that have real game play impact (players can
hide from pursuing enemies within these dense clouds).
Though staying true to its predecessor, X²: The Threat's uniqueness lies in
the game's freedom of exploration and uninhibited style of game play. A first
person space experience, X²: The Threat immerses the player in a dynamic,
living, breathing universe, where every event and action has ‘cause and effect'
upon the entire gaming environment. In a Universe over twice the size as the
original X title, players will discover new worlds and life forms, and can
undertake the role of either a trader, bounty hunter, pirate, miner or a
strategic combination of them all.
Published in the United States and Canada by Enlight Interactive, Inc., X²:
The Threat will be shipped to retail stores in November and will be available on
Windows PC, priced at $39.99 (U.S). For additional information visit
