Elite Dangerous Coming To Xbox One In Summer 2015
The space exploration simulator Elite Dangerous is in development for the Xbox One and will be released in Summer 2015, developer Frontier has announced.
The Xbox One version will offer the same "complete and authentic" experiences as found on the PC when it released back in December, 2014. Frontier assures us that the console version will not be "dumbed down".
"Xbox players have supported Frontier well over the years, and thanks to games like Zoo Tycoon and ScreamRide we know the hardware well, so Xbox One is a natural fit for Elite: Dangerous' console debut," said Frontier founder David Braben.
"Elite: Dangerous on Xbox One will be the complete and authentic Elite: Dangerous experience. It will not be 'dumbed down'. We'll be working with an all-new audience, but that doesn't mean a change in direction for the game, and nor does it mean slowing development on the PC version. The second of our updates – Wings – is being beta tested by some of you right now, and the third will be coming in the spring, free of charge. We'll be talking more about the third major update – Powerplay – soon!"
There's no word on a PlayStation 4 version at the moment, but nevertheless it's exciting to see an announcement for Elite Dangerous on the Xbox One.
