Clarification regarding Raxxla lore

[electro]

In the beginning of ED there was missions regarding Raxxla("the key that is also a door" aso ) These missions was removed from the game, but is it still part of the lore or has the addition to the lore that they gave been removed.

Basicly most of the old lore is inaccurate now. At this point it is unclear if Raxxla, the Dark Wheel or most old lore regarding Thargoids or Guardians is still followed. Much of the old magic has disappeared...

The Dark Wheel codex gives you the hints you seek. Note that in three places in a few paragraphs, doubt is cast on the veractiy of the Dark Wheel faction in Shinrata, and since then it has been confirmed that their missions are no longer in the game. That's not necessarily the same as 'the dark wheel don't exist any more'

As regards the current story - nothing new seems to have been added, but who knows..

Those missions were thought ‘bugged’ circa 2016/2017, for reasons never explained, it could have been due to a mission update at that time, or they were bugged prior, no one knows. FD were directly questioned in a QA livestream around that time, but never truly acknowledged the status;, nor removal, in at least one instance they indicated they were still in game, just amended somehow.

Roll on to 2021 and those questions were asked again, and a similar response was presented, that they were in game and that everything was ‘working as intended’, yet this was challenging and the question clarified. FD then confirmed those missions had been removed!

Note circa 2017 a lot of lore was omitted, also much of the early development proposals were ‘archived’ and made difficult to locate, and a number of key staff also migrated over to other titles…

Want to learn more… the mystery deepens.
