Egosoft studio head Bernd Lehahn posted on the official forum, “After seven years in development, people are naturally wondering why X Rebirth took so much time. The reason for this is the sheer scope of our project. We not only want our universe to be huge, we want it to be huge and teeming with life.
“To me, the success of the Star Citizen funding shows that many people are waiting for our kind of game. A single factory compound in X Rebirth may consist of hundreds of buildings, some of which are so large that ships measuring kilometers in length can dock inside them. The player can even disembark in order to explore the station and meet its inhabitants.”
