The X series has always been about exploration, and X Rebirth aims to add a fair amount of action to the experience. For those looking for a less blood-thirsty approach, a new trailer for the game showcases the different scanners you can utilize, including the long range scanner. This enables you to pick up distant objects very easily but you’ll need to time its mechanics just right to get the full benefits of it.

X Rebirth will see you moving through areas such as an asteroid field, seen in the trailer above, in order to search for objects. There are other scanners which allow you to discern which objects are more valuable and the pick-ups you’ll be able to obtain. High level scanners and some luck are necessary for picking up the most valuable objects.

X Rebirth is currently set to release on November 15th for PC and Linux via Steam.

X Rebirth, the upcoming open-ended sci-fi space simulation, has received a new gameplay trailer ahead of its release. You can check it out above, but more importantly, developer Egosoft has also revealed a Limited Edition for the game.

The Limited Edition Box Version will include an Updated Color X Encyclopedia ebook, an art book full of concept art, the player’s manual, the game’s original soundtrack and bonus videos. This isn’t to forget the game itself, of course, which will build upon the series’ classic design with new features to provide a greater range of freedom mixed with more ships and enhanced realism. That doesn’t include a larger range of activities, of course.

Considering the dearth of open-ended sci-fi space sims, with only Chris Roberts’ Star Citizen being the other big release, X Rebirth is the closest we’ll get to reliving the glory days of space sims. It releases on November 15th for PC.

Most of the game is still centered around exploration and adventure, though there’s plenty of combat as you aligned ships will engage in battle. You’ll even be able to pilot different drones from your ship for different purposes, though no combat functions were showcased as such.

X Rebirth is currently scheduled to release for PC via Steam – it won’t be heading to consoles any time soon. If you’re a long time fan or just want to experience a brand deep space quest, stay tuned for the game’s release.
