I get the feeling that, as much as they tried, they couldn't get atmospheric planets to work with the current game engine.....so have chosen to overhaul it completely. I guess we shall see in the coming months.
Next Update = 2020

Wow, that is a bit of a delay.
My only issue is they called the FSS ‘ambitious’. That brought a chuckle.
Also space legs confirmed (what else would need that long). Yes!!!
In the mean time looking forward to the other new franchises frontier will be releasingPutting in a disclaimer that all the updates for the next year and a half will be tiny feels just a little bit like ‘no longer a priority’
As I have said elsewhere. I am already deeply invested in the stuff I'm currently doing in the game......really loving my first long-range exploration trip.....and have more games in my library than I know what to do with, so this delay doesn't phase me too much. As for what would take so long, I suspect that it is both Space Legs & Atmospherics.
Years.
Just because an expansion is free, doesn't mean it isn't an expansion.

No.
The next announcement will be another delay. So they can finally convince the six remaining players to leave.
No, MONTHS. Latter half of 2020 is actually around 15-16 months away, & I doubt they'll say nothing between now & then. Don't allow your personal hate of the game to force you to put words into other people's mouths.

Yes it does. Free means they didn't add enough content for an actual expansion, so they had to make it free, as they admitted when they announced Beyond. Horizons is still the only major content addition to this game.
Yeah I’m first interested in other games at the moment too, but given how I only played elite for about 2 years I’m sure there’s some sinking in that is to come. A year and a half of bare maintenance every few months is a lot of time to get through and doesn’t sound like it matches player passion past a certain point... still elites sandbox nature as you mention is a strong point.
Also it’s completely off topic, but it sounds really awkward now that star citizen hasn’t given up yet.

i.e. 1.4 years, minimum. If it's December 2020, that's 21 months, or 1.75 years.
Don't get all bent out of shape because you just realised this is as good as it's going to get until the Christmas after next.
I'm assuming they are intent on completing the galaxy at some point,you know,all those planets you can't currently land on?
I'm imagining that's quite a high priority.
I hope those dreams are nourishing enough to last the next 1.75 years.
Thankfully it's still an excellent game as it is and nothing else comes close to what ED has to offer.
Well, there's no accounting for taste ...
Eh they should take as much time as they need. Theres plenty to do in both the videogame and real world until then.
It will be 5 years from 1st expansion to the 2nd expansion.
They clearly don't know what to do with Elite since the begining.
Everything is a placeholder and a minigame of the minigame.
Its not even a cooperative game, its even worse than the multiplayer mod of kerbal space program and even that thing is fun. But multiplayer in Elite is so simplistic and boring.
Its very difficult to see Elite as a game because its so broken whereever you look that it feels a tech demo.
The game will have 6 years by the time this "New Era of Elite" is released.
I remember when Horizon came out with its "seasson", then I thought "cool a year of updates" LOL
So sad.
dissapointed.
I cant understand why there is no atmospheric landing or legs which both was mentioned in videos or letters 2014 or 15?!
Hell, in the meantime they develop a full new game where you can walk in your own dino park and now the next game is announced but in elite dangerous
there is no match to planetsites like in SC or NMS, even in Xrebirth or X4 you can walk around and partly through your ship.
Beyond bring some very good additions and changes to mining and exploring, but i missed somewat the announced quality of life things..

Well feel free to nick off back to Star Citizen......oh wait, that's still an horrendously buggy alpha at the moment. Sorry if I triggered you, Snowflake.
