In Elite: Dangerous, developers have hidden artifacts and secrets in the vast game world. One artifact has now been found, presenting players with a puzzle.
According to PC Gamer, players in the space simulation Elite: Dangerous have followed the announcements and hints from producer Michael Brooks and have been on the lookout for artifacts in the game.
