Odyssey will include a full suite of weapons, spacesuits, and tactical gear, as well as new options for on-foot exploration. New settlements will also be added to the game, and will allow for a number of diverse mission types ranging from stealth to full-on assault. Through their actions, players will be able to impact the state of given locations within planetary systems, which will in turn change the types of missions available there. Odyssey will lean heavily on Elite’s Background Simulation (BGS), which controls the political and economic state of the Milky Way’s many populated areas. It will also open up billions of new worlds to explore by making planets with thin atmospheres accessible. Odyssey stands apart, as it will allow players to leave their vehicles for the first time and set foot on alien worlds.

One paid expansion ( which is now free with the base game) added planetary landings on some of the game’s trillions of worlds, while a free update added massive player-owned fleet carriers to the game. The studio also released a new video showing a three-player cooperative mission on foot.Įlite was released in 2014 and has undergone major improvements since that time. Elite Dangerous: Odyssey, the highly anticipated expansion for the spacefaring simulation game, will begin open alpha testing on March 29, Frontier Developments announced Thursday.
