Frontier Tease Elite: Dangerous Horizons' Planetary Exploration
David Braben has released a very "quick-and-dirty un-edited capture" of Elite: Dangerous showing the new planned planetary exploration that's coming in the Horizons update. This is no fancy marketing reel but a rough and ready flyby.
The footage comes from a "debug build on one of our dev machines, using the debug camera on an SRV and just zooming out ever faster", reveals Braben. The studio has plenty to mess with before Horizons is actually in a state to be ready and this teasing snippet doesn't reflect anything final.
Elite: Dangerous Horizons is an expansion and re-release of the original and will include a huge offering of new content spread across an entire season of constant updates. Avatar customisation and multi-crew ships are also in the works. It's expected to arrive this winter.
