Prepare to disembark, Commander. Your Odyssey begins on PC, 19 May

Elite Dangerous: Odyssey launches for PC on 19 May, with PlayStation and Xbox editions coming in autumn 2021

Cambridge, UK – 22 April 2021. Frontier Developments plc (AIM: FDEV) announced today that Elite Dangerous: Odyssey, the highly anticipated new era for Elite Dangerous, releases on 19 May for Windows PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store and FrontierStore.net.

Prospective Commanders can pre-order the Elite Dangerous: Odyssey expansion with an SRP of £29.99/$39.99/€34.99. The Deluxe Alpha expansion pack is still available, with an SRP of £39.99/$54.99/€46.99. This includes the Odyssey expansion, access to the ongoing Alpha phase ending on 30 April, and the official soundtrack. Both pre-order packs grant access to the exclusive Pioneer suit skin as a pre-order bonus.

Odyssey constitutes the most ambitious Elite Dangerous expansion to date, delivering on the promise of allowing Commanders to explore atmospheric planets on foot for the first time, taking on new missions, and engaging in intense tactical combat, expanding Elite Dangerous’ gameplay from the iconic cockpit experience players have come to know and love over the last seven years.

Elite Dangerous: Odyssey players can customize their characters for ground operations with different specialized suits and gear options, including the Remlok Maverick scavenger suit for salvage missions, the Supratech Artemis explorer suit for exobiology investigation, and the Manticore Dominator combat suit for Commanders daring to enter the sphere of combat in the perilous Conflict Zones.

Independently of their chosen career path, players can meet with other Commanders in social hubs across the galaxy, where they can plan their next missions, form alliances, and acquire and upgrade their gear. This seamless integration of a finely detailed on-foot experience combined with the galaxy-spanning distances of the classic Elite gameplay results on a more wide-ranging experience for all Commanders to enjoy in their own style.

Elite Dangerous: Odyssey releases on PC on 19 May. The Odyssey Alpha phase shall end on 30 April. Releases on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and the Xbox One all-in-one games and entertainment system are planned for autumn 2021.
