We should note though that X3: Albion Prelude will not be compatible with save-games from X3: Terran Conflict. X3: Albion Prelude will feature a new plot that promises to throw you into the power struggle between corporations at a time of war, more than 30 new ships and stations, new Stock Exchange feature allows advanced investment strategies, improved graphics quality setting for high-end machines, improved user interface introducing charts to visualize economic developments and support for head tracking. The old X Universe is passing a new X Universe is about to be created. It shows a universe in flux, and prepares players for things to come.
X3: Albion Prelude plays in a time between the old and the new X Universe.
Egosoft announced today a December 15th release of PC and Mac versions of X3: Albion Prelude, a new challenge in the X3 series, building up toward the launch of the all-new X Rebirth coming in 2012.
