Egosoft reveal the big free Diplomacy update for X4: Foundations due out in 2025

Egosoft have revealed that their expansive space sim X4: Foundations is getting another major upgrade named Diplomacy, scheduled to arrive some time this year.

This follows on from another major update earlier this year, which overhauled the flight model to bring improvements to how ships handle depending on their size, weight and engine configuration.

Diplomacy is going to be a free update for the base game, so no DLC required for it. They said it will "introduce new strategic elements, allowing players to engage in diplomacy like never before". As for what you'll get it brings the Embassy, a new facility where Diplomats can be brought together to represent their various factions. Plus you'll get access to Agents, who can be deployed on independent assignments to achieve diplomatic objectives within the X universe. Egosoft said these new tools will allow you to "influence alliances and rivalries alike, shaping the political and economic balance of the galaxy".
