As announced at the GDC fair, the space MMO Elite: Dangerous is set to be released for the Xbox One console this summer.
At the GDC fair taking place these days in San Francisco, developers mostly keep to themselves. Some technical innovations were presented to each other – this also interested the media; otherwise, they give talks on how to deal with the new social media, how to maintain a community, and of course a lot of techno-speak. A lot of new things happen there, but little is really reported. A highly anticipated presentation of The Division did take place, but much to the fans’ dismay, it remained completely under wraps.
However, there are exceptions, and they are all the more delightful: Elite: Dangerous, the space MMO, is expected to come to the Xbox One later this year, in the summer. As the head of Elite, Dave Braben, states, it will provide the “complete authentic Elite experience” on the Xbox. It will not be “dumbed down.” Braben promises that the port will not slow down the development of the PC version. It was released in December.
Here is the trailer:
