    Announcement Odyssey Update 2021 - Alpha in Early-Spring, PC release in Late-Spring, Console release in Autumn

    Posted: 12 Jan 2021 11:06 PM PST

    From forum post, website, and Steam

    Greetings Commanders,

    We wanted to share an update with you regarding the ongoing development of Elite Dangerous: Odyssey.

    2020 was a difficult year for many, but in spite of those challenges we are pleased with our progress towards what is a truly ambitious new era for the game. We've been delighted with the excitement and positive response to our development diaries, interviews, streams and trailers and want to thank all of you for your continued support.

    The ongoing impact of the pandemic however, including the renewed lockdowns in 2021, continues to put added pressure on our teams and ultimately our development timeline. We have therefore had to make the difficult decision to make some adjustments and changes to our existing development roadmap.

    Our PC plans have only been affected by a small amount, however our plans for the console release will unfortunately see a larger development shift. Please do know that these difficult decisions have been made with a focus on making Odyssey as incredible as it can possibly be for all our Commanders regardless of their platform, while also respecting realistic project deadlines for our teams during this difficult global situation.

    We would like to sincerely apologise to all of our community. We know you have been waiting patiently and how disappointing and frustrating this must be. With that in mind, we would like to share with you our latest roadmap so that you are fully aware of our plans.

     

    Alpha – early spring 2021

    We are continuing with plans to bring Alpha access to our PC players and get boots on the ground. This will now be a little later than originally planned, in early spring.

    Much like our original Elite Dangerous release, we will be taking a phased approach to our Alpha, bringing new features and systems online throughout the period. This will allow us to focus and best consider our community feedback while also providing vital user testing on key areas of the game. We will be sharing further information including details of feature drops and Alpha plans as we get closer to release.

    Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Deluxe Alpha and Lifetime Expansion Pass holders will get access to this release.

     

    PC release – late spring 2021

    Following the completion of our Alpha phase we are targeting a full launch on PC in late spring.

    As with every era in Elite Dangerous' history, we will be closely engaging with our community and continuing to react to feedback refining Odyssey through to the console launch.

    Elite Dangerous: Odyssey pre orders will be able to access the game with this release.

     

    Console release – autumn 2021

    After continued feedback, iterations and balancing, we are targeting our release on PlayStation®4 and Xbox One in the autumn of this year.

     

    We understand that for many, this additional delay will be frustrating. Once again, we would like to apologise wholeheartedly to our community, especially our console Commanders. However, as mentioned previously, we feel it is vital to ensure that the content being released on consoles meets the highest standards and this will require this additional extension to our roadmap.

    Throughout this time we will continue to bring more news, videos and content of the development in progress. We would like to thank you all for the ongoing support and we are very excited to bring in this new era to the game with you. Your feedback, support and involvement is a vital part of this process and we are looking forward to a shared Alpha experience, which will be touching down very soon.

    o7 Commanders

     

    More about the Elite Dangerous Odyssey timeframes and COVID-19 impact on devteams:

    From FDev's January 2021 Trading Update

    Extended home working has created additional development challenges.

    Elite Dangerous: Odyssey is still planned for release on PC in FY21, with PlayStation and Xbox releases now coming in FY22 to ensure the best experience for players on all platforms.

    HOME WORKING

    We successfully transitioned to working from home prior to the official lock-down in March 2020, enabling our teams to continue to work as effectively as possible. Our talented and dedicated teams performed amazingly through the challenges of 2020, continuing to develop and launch high quality content to our player communities, including the great technical achievement of expanding our audiences with Planet Coaster being launched on both current and next generation PlayStation and Xbox consoles, and Jurassic World Evolution having added the Nintendo Switch to its list of platforms. In general we found individual task-based working in most cases to be just as effective from home as from the office, but are continually trying to adapt our processes for group and planning tasks that require collaborative working. There is no question there are still some efficiency challenges, especially for larger projects, when working remotely.

    ELITE DANGEROUS: ODYSSEY

    Our next major internally developed release is Elite Dangerous: Odyssey, which is a major new paid era for Elite Dangerous, allowing Commanders to explore distant worlds on foot for the first time, taking on new missions and engaging in intense tactical combat, seamlessly merging with Elite Dangerous' iconic cockpit experience. Premiered during The Game Awards on 10 December 2020, reaction to the Elite Dangerous: Odyssey trailer has been positive and encouraging in advance of its release this year.

    Elite Dangerous continues to perform well through an engaged and ever growing community of Commanders. During 2020 Elite Dangerous hit its highest ever player numbers shortly after the Fleet Carriers update at Easter, and then again higher still since on multiple occasions, including just before Christmas. There is a great deal of excitement around Elite Dangerous: Odyssey both outside the Company and within. Over its lifetime Elite Dangerous has already generated over £100m in revenues, with over 4 million base game units sold. A successful strategy to seed new players in advance of the launch of Odyssey yielded an additional 8 million base game owners through the launch of Elite Dangerous on the Epic Games Store in November 2020 including a 'Free Week'.

    As always we are committed to delivering a high quality experience through the release of Odyssey, to a large and engaged player community with high expectations. Odyssey is coming together well, despite Covid-related challenges with collaborative working on such a large project, which are resulting in some inevitable minor delays.

    Having reviewed project timelines to take into account the renewed need to continue with remote working for the near future, as well as our commitment to release only when we are certain that the experience for our players, on all platforms, will be as enjoyable as possible, our launch plans for Odyssey have now been updated.

    Elite Dangerous: Odyssey is expected to release on PC, the biggest platform for Elite Dangerous, before the end of the financial year (which ends on 31 May 2021), albeit slightly later than our initial target for Q1 2021 (January to March). This will be preceded by an alpha period. Our plan for PlayStation and Xbox is to submit console versions for approval as soon as possible after we have released on PC, rather than putting the console developments of Odyssey under additional time pressure by planning for a simultaneous PC/console launch. PlayStation and Xbox console releases will therefore now come in FY22.

    David Braben, Chief Executive, said

    "2020 was a hard year for a great many people because of the challenges of Covid-19. Despite this, and doubtless helped by lockdown boosting demand for screen-based entertainment around the world, we had a successful year through the hard work and adaptability of our talented teams. Our four great franchises have really long play times and engaging social aspects to them, which make them well-suited to lockdown.

    We know that our Elite Dangerous community are looking forward to the arrival of Odyssey this year, and we're focussed on delivering the high quality experience that they expect and deserve. 2021 is set to be another great year for Frontier."

    Elite is probably my biggest reason for using ambient lighting (camera doesn't pick it up very well but you get the picture)

    A perfect site for gathering Selenium

    Posted: 13 Jan 2021 09:30 AM PST

    The system is LHS 417, planet 9 E A.

    Suggested Geological sites: 17,19,22,23,25,26 (I did not take notes of the precise locations)

    Shoot for Crystalline fragments and needle crystals like you do with other ground mining. All listed sites are plain surfaces with little to no cliff or inclination above 30 degrees, so it's very easy to land and drive. About 30-40 portions of Selenium can be found within 2KM of each site, so six of them should fill you up from empty. Other materials in the Yttrium family and Selenium family can also be found. Takes less than half an hour on each site if you know how to drive.

    There is a large station in the system (Gernhardt Camp) to resupply, and the closest station with a raw material trader is Moxon's Mojo in Bolg system.

    Happy mining, CMDRs

    East India Company announces change of leadership

    Posted: 13 Jan 2021 08:53 AM PST

    Concluding a successful tenure of almost 4 years, this week saw solemn celebrations at Harvestport starport to mark the voluntary retirement of CMDR Voggix. As co-chairperson of the East India Company (EIC), he initially focused on the various player-driven events within the growing E:D universe. Later, CMDR Voggix oversaw the company's successful and ongoing BGS expansion as well as EIC's transformation from an Elite:Dangerous only into a multi-gaming group.

    CMDR Voggix is succeeded by CMDR Apis Levitans, another long time member of EIC.

    Sequi stellas,

    and see you in the black, CMDRs!
