- We’re happy to confirm Update 13 is coming on Tuesday 9 August and will see the highly anticipated conclusion of the Azimuth Saga.
My interpretation: Update 13 is coming next week. It will contain the conclusion of the Azimuth Saga.
- we intend to give all PC players access to version 4.0, at no additional cost, while keeping the upgrade to Odyssey optional. This is expected to come in the weeks following Update 13
My interpretation: All PC players will be upgrade to v4.0 at some point after the release of Update 13.
- With regards to how this affects the conclusion of the Azimuth Saga: delivering on our promise to offer the best possible narrative content requires taking full advantage of version 4.0.
My interpretation: v4.0 is required for Update 13 and the conclusion of the Azimuth Saga.
- Therefore, Horizons players will be able to witness the final event in the Azimuth Saga and access related gameplay scenarios. Moving forwards, all PC players will have access to content in the next narrative phase given they are using version 4.0, except in cases where on-foot gameplay (and by extension, Odyssey) is required.
Interpretation 1: After all players have been upgraded to v4.0, all PC Horizons players will be able to experience the conclusion to the Azimuth Saga and related gameplay. Future updates will also require v4.0
Interpretation 2: For Update 13, current Horizons players will be able to experience the conclusion of the Aziuth Saga and related gameplay. However, for future updates, v4.0 will be required.
I'm going with Interpretation 1, but what does everyone else think?
