Elite Dangerous: Odyssey, the major expansion to Frontier Developments’ space trading game that allows for full, on-foot FPS missions, has locked down a release date! Elite Dangerous: Odyssey will touch down on PC in May and consoles later this fall. You can check out a new teaser trailer for the expansion, below.
Elite Dangerous: Odyssey has been in alpha testing for a while, but that will end on April 30 prior to the game’s full launch. It seems Frontier won’t be bothering with a beta. If you still want to get in on the last days of the alpha, you can still purchase the Odyssey Deluxe Alpha version, which includes alpha access and a bonus soundtrack for $55 (the standard version of the expansion costs $40). Need to know more about Odyssey? Here’s the expansion’s official description…
Elite Dangerous is available now on PC, Xbox One, and PS4, and playable via backward compatibility on Xbox Series X/S and PS5. The Odyssey expansion touches down on PC (via Steam and Epic) on May 19 and on consoles in autumn 2021.
The Elite Dangerous galaxy’s rich setting and open-ended design reaches a new level of depth thanks to Odyssey’s feet-on-the-ground gameplay. Introducing the detailed scale that is needed for on-foot gameplay while maintaining the vast distances measured in light years and the myriad missions available to players, Odyssey will greatly augment the already rich world of Elite Dangerous, offering a more personal experience for all Commanders to enjoy in their own way, in addition to the vast galaxy they can already explore.
