Frontier Developments have announced the release date of the big Odyssey expansion for their open universe space sim, Elite Dangerous.
The Odyssey expansion adds the ability to disembark from your starship to explore space stations and planets. Players will be able to assemble their crew, form alliances, and negotiate deals with NPCs. Not all of your time off ship will be peaceful, which is why you’ll have plenty of weapons and gadgets to take on enemy infantry.

Elite Dangerous: Odyssey launches May 19th for Windows PC (via the Epic Games Store, and Steam), and Autumn 2021 on PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
