XEUS is the successor to ESA's XMM-Newton X-ray observatory. Novel light weight X-ray optics and advanced imaging detectors will provide a sensitivity around 200 times better than XMM-Newton as well as much improved spatial resolution, high energy coverage and spectral performance. This enormous improvement in scientific capability will open up new vistas in X-ray astronomy such as the study of the first massive black holes, GR near the event horizon and cosmic feedback. In addition, studies of distant clusters of galaxies will provide sensitive probes of the evolution of the properties of Dark Energy and Matter with cosmic time. In this talk I will review the design of the mission, its scientific capabilites and the status within the ESA and JAXA systems.
