Elite Dangerous: Odyssey is a dramatic improvement to an already stellar game - Polygon

I’ve been traveling between the stars in Elite Dangerous for some time now, often for business but mostly for pleasure.

It’s an enormous game, but it’s taken the better part of seven years of ongoing development for it to finally make me feel small.

On May 19, Frontier Developments will launch its next great expansion, called Elite Dangerous: Odyssey.

Not only will the game add tens of thousands of new destinations for players to visit, it will add the ability to walk around on your own two virtual feet — something that’s been impossible since the game first launched in 2014.

The Asp Explorer that I’ve been flying around in for most of my time with the game is just a bit longer than a Boeing 747, but that has been impossible to perceive while trapped inside the cockpit.

Combined with the realistic periodicity of the star systems themselves, that means they look different every time you visit.

I’m looking forward to returning to places like the Dryau Awesomes, known for its otherworldly purple lights, just to see how they’ve changed with this expansion.

Time will tell if those new hooks — and the accompanying first-person shooter mechanics — will expand the game to larger audiences.

Their 16000M series is compatible with games like Elite: Dangerous, MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries and the upcoming Microsoft Flight Simulator
