Editor's Note

A Very Short Note...

 

N-N-N-Nineteen - that's right, issue 19 is here bringing you news about everything going on in the X-Universe. The big news is of course the fact that X³: Reunion has reached the BETA phase. There is also some eye-candy in our screenshot gallery and X³: Reunion will be presented at Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany. Last but not least we can announce that an update for the All In One Bonus Package for X²: The Threat has been released.

 

Enjoy!

X³: Reunion goes BETA

Offical Testing Phase!

 

We are pleased to announce that the beta test programme for X³: Reunion has now started. This is a major milestone on the way to release, and also an opportunity for DevNet members to get involved.

 

If you are a DevNet member and NDA-holder and have some free time that you would be able to contribute to serious beta testing, then you are invited to visit the L5 DevNet forums, read what will be required of you, and sign up for testing in the appropriate forum thread.

 

If you are a DevNet member but have not yet sent in an NDA, or have sent one in but not heard back, then I'm afraid you will probably have to wait until next time around.
