Fans of X4: Foundations have been eagerly awaiting new content, and the developers have finally lifted the veil on what’s in store for this quarter. The upcoming DLC, titled X4: Hyperion Pack, promises to bring a fresh wave of excitement to the game. As hinted in previous roadmap updates, this expansion will be more compact than earlier ones but packed with significant new features. The highlight of this pack is undoubtedly the inclusion of the Hyperion ship, a long-awaited addition requested by many players within the community.
The X4: Hyperion Pack introduces several key elements to enhance the gaming experience. Players can look forward to a new mission chain dedicated to discovering and unlocking the Hyperion, as well as an optional gamestart that grants immediate access to this legendary ship for those who prefer to dive right in. Additionally, the pack includes a brand-new sector to explore within the Open Universe, enriching the game’s already vast landscape. New music tracks will also be added, further immersing players in the auditory experience of their space journey.
The Hyperion Expeditionary Ship is not just any addition; it represents a new ship classification known as the Expeditionary class. This ship combines raw power, agility, and a compact design, embodying the Paranid’s essence like never before. Despite being classified as an L-class ship, the Hyperion boasts a sleek, lightweight frame with unparalleled maneuverability. It features six main gun mounts for devastating offensive capabilities, M-sized turrets for robust defense, L-class shielding and engines for superior durability and mobility, and enhanced missile capacity for sustained firepower.
The Hyperion’s versatility makes it an ideal choice for solo operations or high-stakes battles where its maneuverability can be fully leveraged. It also includes a single docking bay capable of accommodating and repairing up to two S-class ships, adding strategic flexibility to missions. Whether navigating dangerous trade routes, engaging in piracy, or leading fleets into uncharted territory, the Hyperion is designed to thrive under the command of skilled pilots. With its repair and resupply capabilities for docked ships, above-average cargo capacity, and a crew well-suited to boarding operations, this ship is set to become an essential tool for players looking to reshape their destiny in the universe of X4: Foundations.
