News Elite Dangerous: The Commanders (2.3) beta

[Zac Antonaci]

Greetings!

We’ve been receiving transmissions from Commanders all over the galaxy seeking more information on our next update. I’m pleased to be able to confirm that the beta of Elite Dangerous: The Commanders (2.3) will be landing the week ending February 26! This will be available to everyone with Horizons beta access.

With the content now reaching a stage where it begins to fit together, we’ll soon be able to start sharing more news and updates on exactly how the features will look and work. We’ll be sharing more granular detail about how the core features will function in our upcoming dev spotlight as well as showcasing all of the content in our pre-beta stream!

Elite Dangerous: The Commanders (2.3) will come with features such as Multicrew and Commander Creator, as well as a number of other improvements and changes. Bring your friends or invite new crew mates to pack that extra punch you might need in key situations, and add more personality to your Commander with an all-new visual upgrade.

So ready your engines and tell your friends, the Elite Dangerous: The Commanders beta is just around the corner.

Week ending (Sunday) Feb 26th? Do you could Sunday as the 7th day or 1st day of the week?

So does that mean arriving end of:-
Week Mon 20th - Sun 26th?
or
Week Sun 26th - Sat 4th?

I assume the former?

Heya,

As it's week ending, we are using Sunday as the end of the week. So "Week Mon 20th - Sun 26th?" would be correct.

Hope that helps!

You see nothing!

I rather liked the sound of "Commander Creato" - he sounded like a villain out of X-Men.

Cheers,

Drew.
