The beta test programme for intergalactic trading-combat game X3: Reunion has now begun, according to a statement on developer Egosoft's website.

"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," says Egosoft.

X3 is said to feature "a completely redesigned X universe", along with a new economy system, more than 200 new models and movie-quality graphics. The game is due out on PC on September 30, with an Xbox version to follow early next year.
