Odyssey is the much anticipated ‘boots on the ground’ expansion for expands the galaxy.
It’s all very exciting and it looks set to dramatically change the pace of the game, for those after a change of pace. After a series of tests and a pandemic-prompted delay, Elite Dangerous Odyssey will officially release for PC on May 19, after a final testing phase.
“Your during the alpha period has been invaluable and made this release date possible,” Frontier writes. “We'll continue collecting your throughout the alpha phase 4 and beyond launch as we work on further improvements and content updates.”
Andy Kelly has played Odyssey and felt a bit conflicted by the addition of NPCs. “It feels less like a bustling starport, and more like one of those 3D chat rooms that were all the rage in the early 2000s,” he wrote in delightfully rubbish” taxi service. Not the most ringing endorsements, but I’m looking forward to diving in on May 19.
