ELITE DANGEROUS: ODYSSEY Is Out Now!

Today is the day! Elite Dangerous: Odyssey is officially out for PC players to indulge in. As the game’s most ambitious expansion to date, it’s sure to bring players extremely new experiences. The first-person combat especially should give players a shake-up like they haven’t seen in this title. I know that I’m very excited to see how the game handles that aspect. It’ll be a treat to walk around these planets as if they were real.

This is the next step in what has already been an incredible journey and labour of love with Elite Dangerous since the Kickstarter over eight years ago. The team have pulled off a fantastic achievement here across a mind-bending scale – from the detail within a human footprint to the vast distances across stellar systems and beyond is breathtaking, in a rich, detailed and accurate recreation of the Milky Way in 1:1 scale. For me it is not just the detailed exploration and combat, but the gothic beauty of watching stars, planets, moons, moons-of-moons rise and fall or slowly pirouette in their often complex paths in the night sky, while each tiny dot or nebula in that sky is really there and can be visited.

I for one will be nabbing this expansion when it comes to consoles later this year (TBA). Players can pick up Elite Dangerous: Odyssey for $39.99 or the Deluxe Edition of it for $44.99. Keep in mind that the Deluxe Edition includes the official soundtrack so that you can take the sounds of space with you wherever you go. Elite Dangerous: Odyssey is currently available on PC via FrontierStore.net, Steam, and Epic Games Store. The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions are planned to debut this Fall.
