Description

About the Game

Enjoy a long-awaited reunion with the Boron in X4: Kingdom End, the fourth expansion for X4: Foundations, which completes the collection of the main factions in the X Universe. Discover the unique Boron ships, and fly them through distinctive systems, on a journey of discovery. Visit fascinating places, uncover old secrets and make new acquaintances. Embark on an immersive new chapter of X4!

An expedition into the unknown

Heretic's End holds a secret to be discovered. Flickering lights on a previously inactive jump gate are causing a stir. Joining forces in the name of cooperation, a multifactional expedition sets out to investigate the phenomenon. Prepare for an immersive story of collaboration, where many vastly different minds must pull together for the greater good.

Unique new ships will take your breath away

Boron ships are as unconventional as you would expect from such an extraordinary species. X4: Kingdom End introduces a wide variety of Boron ships of different classes, which excel with their fluid designs, their wavelike shell animation, and their distinctive grace and uniqueness. Come aboard and experience what may very well be the most breath-taking ships in the X-Universe. Among others, you can look forward to:

  • Ray (Destroyer) As though it had just emerged from the water, and was waiting for its prey with bared teeth, the Ray destroyer impresses with its delicate construction. But, one should not be dazzled by it for too long; even the normally peace-loving Boron will defend themselves if necessary.



  • Shark (Carrier) With its sweeping form and a dynamism all of its own, the Boron XL carrier immediately casts a spell over anyone who sets eyes on it. Perhaps its greatest surprise, however, is easily overlooked at first glance. With the ability to have smaller ships dock and launch from the side, the carrier provides a distinct advantage on the battlefield that should not be underestimated.

I own this DLC since its release. At first I was blown away by all the additions, but the reality caught up eventually. There are many good things this DLC introduced, but in my opinion it doesn't mix well with the rest

I want to do a set of quickfire reviews for the DLC's of X4; Kingdoms End has a rock solid storyline, absolutely gorgeous visuals and a new shipset that looks incredible. The boron are friendly fish folks ( You've not

Out of all the game starts in X4, this is easily one of my favorites and in my opinion, the best DLC the series has received so far. The return of the Boron adds so much personality and depth to the universe. They’ve

There are three major expansions that my vodka-addled brain can come up with for X4 - this one, the Terrans, and the Paranid. This is the SECOND best major expansion. If you want good looking ships or stations, then

Boron ships are neat looking. Exclusive weapons and often more defense focused than other factions. Cool little story to unlock the Boron Systems if you don't do the Boron start. Expands the Gate network. A good

Its a good DLC. The storylines it adds are long and well fleshed out. The new race is very different from the other races and brings a whole new load of ships and station designs. Plus it adds a large amount of space to
