The space simulation Elite:Dangerous will see a significant update with patch 2.2 coming in October.
Elite:Dangerous is among the games with big plans. It always seems like something huge is in the works on the horizon that will populate the space sandbox with more life. This is what the game is often criticized for: it feels somewhat unfinished, too empty, with many planned features missing, and players notice this painfully.
At Gamescom, the next heavy-hitter “Guardians” was introduced with 2.2, aimed at refining the game significantly. Along with numerous so-called “Quality of Life” improvements to make the game more enjoyable, the following features are coming:
- The NPC crew
- Passengers and VIPs
- Fighters that can launch from the ships
- and tourist hotspots.
This is all included in the October update 2.2 for Elite:Dangerous
In the reddit forum for Elite:Dangerous, fans created this graphic that is supposed to show at a glance what is coming to their favorite game in October.
This third and final trailer wraps up the Elite presentation from Gamescom.
