ANNOUNCEMENT Elite Dangerous Horizons Fold Down

[Stephen Benedetti]

Greetings Commanders,



Today we are merging Elite Dangerous and its expansion Horizons together. This will take place via an update at 11:00 (UTC). We do not anticipate any downtime for this.


What does this mean for me?
If you already own the Elite Dangerous base game, or you purchased it from this date, you will now have access to all the features Horizons provides added to your game, for free. Meaning you will now be able to land on planets, explore their surfaces in your SCARAB SRV, craft rare and powerful weapons with the help of a wide variety of Engineers, expand your multiplayer experience with multicrew, plus much more!

​

What if I already own Horizons?
For all our Commanders who have already been enjoying the Horizons expansion, you will receive the exclusive Azura Paint Job which can be applied to all 41 craft (38 ships, 3 fighters) in-game, as a thank you for your support.

The Milky Way is a big space and we are happy to bring you all a little closer together!


If you're new to Elite, you can pick up Elite Dangerous which will include the Horizons expansion content on Steam, PS4 and Xbox One now.

[Rubbernuke]

The title of this thread makes me feel hungry- let the folding commence!

 

[Garud]

People who never bought horizons for one reason or the other are in for a treat! Thanks for this excellent decision FDev!

Will the option to log into the base game still exist?
Commanders in an SRV who's ship just went boom on landing would like to know.
As would the fuel rats who have a landed commander who ran out of fuel.

Guess I'll be logging on this evening to check out the new paintjobs. On another note, at what time will be today's supercruise news livestream?

Thats Aisling Cats picture nasty.

 

[Dncmaster]

I'm still a bit sad/upsetti that all we are getting is a skin, and not even some ARX, but, either way, nice

 

[through the hole backwards]

What about space legs?

[Go'Gen]

Fair deal imho,
to be "refunded" with 40+ skins for part of game which already provided more than enough fun for money

 

[Wimmer]

Can I moan a little?
A lot of new commanders with Horizons -> Felicity Farseer invitation -> gankers -> soft targets -> lot of new topics "I was killed in Deciat"

 

[WINGBACON]

The paint job on the corvette looks

@Stephen Benedetti You did mention on the livestream on Thursday that this was already being discussed with the developers. Is there any information on it yet?
