Elite Dangerous: Next Story Phase Announced, What’s Happening to Consoles?
With Aftermath, Frontier has announced the next story phase of Elite Dangerous after the end of the Azimuth saga.
This will be released via new content updates throughout the rest of the year and beyond.
Launch with Update 13
Aftermath begins with Update 13 for Elite Dangerous: Odyssey: “As commanders head to the anti-xeno conflict zones in system HIP 22460 where the Proteus Wave of Salvation has been activated, they will witness the effects themselves: the megaships Bright Sentinel and Heart of Taurus have been destroyed.”
“Wrecks of numerous capital ships and constant Thargoid attacks now await every commander. Ships with Guardian technology will also be at risk in HIP 22460, as the modules will quickly decay or even be destroyed.”
More Elite Dangerous news:
This is accompanied by technical changes, because the main game (3.8) and Odyssey (4.0) are currently based on different code bases. In the future, everything should only run on the 4.0 code base.
On PC, anyone who owns a copy of Elite Dangerous will receive the 4.0 codebase with updated graphics and improvements. A copy of Odyssey is not required.
And what about the consoles?
“Frontier’s goal is to bring the next phase of the Elite Dangerous storyline to as many players as possible – including the upcoming option for PlayStation and Xbox console players to benefit from a limited-time console profile transfer so they can play the Get the benefits of the 4.0 code base as soon as you move to PC.
You can find more information about the transfer here.
“The option to continue playing all existing Elite Dangerous content in 3.8 instead of moving to 4.0 will remain available for PC and console players.”
