Elite Dangerous players wanting to make use of the new features found in the space sim’s on-foot-focussed Odyssey expansion will be required to play in an expansion-exclusive version of the galaxy when it comes to PC on 19th May, separating them from their base game friends.
Odyssey, of course, delivers a considerable shake-up to Elite Dangerous’ classic cockpit-focussed formula, enabling Commanders to stretch their legs and step out of their ships in order to stroll about space stations, settlements, and planetary terrain for the first time.
There’s first-person combat and exploration, plus a host of new missions types (including team-based on-foot PvP), all supported by a new planetary generation system designed to bring some stunning vistas to Elite Dangerous’ procedural universe.
