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, obviously, conveys a significant purge to Elite Dangerous’s exemplary cockpit-focused equation, empowering Commanders to extend their legs and get out of their boats to walk around space stations, settlements, and planetary territory interestingly. There’s first-person battle and investigation, in addition to a large group of new mission types (including group-dependent by walking PvP), all upheld by another planetary age framework intended to carry some dazzling vistas to Elite Dangerous’ procedural universe.
Notwithstanding, as clarified in another post on the Elite Dangerous gathering, there’s somewhat of a catch at dispatch. Odyssey’s cosmic system – with its numerous huge upgrades – will at first be isolated to the one encountered by players staying with the base game (AKA Horizons) on PC. In that capacity, Horizons players will not have the option to share an interactive meeting with any of their companions playing inside the Odyssey form of the universe.
Nor will base game players see any of the new graphical updates – including the new planetary tech, organics, and improved lighting and surfaces – being acquainted with Elite Dangerous close by the Odyssey extension. Odyssey buyers wishing to play with those that don’t possess the development might have the option to do so by dispatching the game in Horizons mode, which will briefly eliminate access to all Odyssey’s new features until they return to that variant of the cosmos.
Fortunately, Odyssey’s world split, while a long way from ideal, will not be perpetual. Outskirts say the two forms of Elite Dangerous’ world will be consolidated when the extension comes to Xbox and PlayStation this pre-winter, rejoining Odyssey and Horizons players on every stage.
Furthermore, all Horizon players will at long last get the new graphical updates simultaneously, even though they will not have the option to get out by walking or enter Odyssey’s shaky environments.
