Still, those who wish to experience the on-foot content of Odyssey, among other features, will have the option to purchase it separately. That means that players won’t need to own a copy of Elite Dangerous: Odyssey to access 4.0. Going forward, to ensure the storyline can continue to expand in scope and quality, new events and gameplay elements will only be released on the 4.0 code base.Īnyone who owns a copy of Elite Dangerous on PC will be able to enjoy the benefits of the 4.0 code base, which will include updated graphics and all improvements from post-Odyssey updates around performance, UI/UX, and other features. Currently, the Elite Dangerous base game and Odyssey exist on different code bases – 3.8 and 4.0, respectively.

Last but not least, Frontiers Developments announced that following the Azimuth Saga conclusion, the way players engage with events in Elite Dangerous is changing. More importantly, players with Guardian technology on their ships will also find themselves compromised while in HIP 22460, with modules decaying rapidly or even being destroyed. Players who jump into the fray should now expect constant Thargoid attacks but also wrecks of numerous capital ships that can be scanned for logs. When commanders head to the Anti-Xeno Conflict Zones in the system HIP 22460, where Salvation’s Proteus Wave was activated, they’ll witness a disastrous outcome for the alliance of the three factions. Suffice to say, the repercussions from today’s event have begun, so if you’re an Elite Dangerous veteran, you’ll have plenty of new activities to explore and targets to scan and/or eliminate.īut that’s not all! The start of Aftermath coincides with the release of Update 13 for Elite Dangerous: Odyssey and sets the stage for the future of humanity’s relationship with the Thargoids.

Without spoiling the explosive finale of the Azimuth Saga too much (don’t watch the video if you haven’t boot-up the game after the update), the Thargoids aren’t that easy to defeat and remain a dangerous threat even after the deployment of the Proteus Wave, Salvation’s powerful Anti-Xeno weapon.

Aftermath, the next phase of the narrative will lead into content updates in the months to come, so players can look forward to more tidbits of information related to what happened with Salvation.
