Today marks the release of Hyperion Pack (mini DLC) and Flight Model Update. Veteran players of previous X-games will remember the Hyperion ship from X3. It was a reward for completing the Bala Gi Missons (in X3). The ship was somewhat overpowered but was a lot of fun to fly. Now (many years later) Egosoft is bringing the ship back with an updated design and a new class for X4.



The DLC also includes a new story to earn the ship, a new game start (allowing you to jump straight into the new ship), another sector to explore, and some brilliant music to listen to.




Not only that, Egosoft has updated the main game to version v7.50, which brings overhauled flight physics, a new boost mechanic, support for DLSS / FSR 3, and many more features. The complete change list can be seen over on the Egosoft site.

You may think that Egosoft has finished with X4 by now. Well, that's not the case! Egosoft have released a roadmap showing what they plan to do till 2026! You can see the roadmap here: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/392160/view/4441205298304123197

Today marks the release of X4's next DLC - Timelines. In this DLC you get to play over 30 scenarios including some from important events. You will be rated (or scored) depending on your actions, which you can compare with your friends. Completing scenarios you will unlock additional rewards for your sandbox universe.



v7.00 adds a few new ships, flyable Xenon ships, improved Teladi/Argon Capital ships, updates/fixes - a full list can be seen here; Current Version and Build Number: Version: 7.00 (534380) - 2024-06-20.

The site has been updated to include Timelines and v7.00. I was planning to add a guide on the Timeline missions but I have been rather busy and didnt want to publish an inferior guide. So that will be released at a later date, when I feel it meets my expections.

Egosoft have also released a Timelines story trailer, shown below;

It appears Egosoft arent quite finished with X4 yet - annoucning a new DLC called: Timelines and major update version 7.0. The new DLC will bring new sectors, ships and a story line, whilst 7.0 will bring many update and fixes (redesigned capital ships, more places).

Egosoft have posted a small reveal trailer which can be seen below;




Both the DLC and patch are due sometime in 2024. If you wish to discuss the news, please use following thread.
