Elite Dangerous Previews First-Person Combat In The Latest ‘Road To Odyssey’ Dev Video

Odyssey expansion in the third installment of their “Road to Odyssey” dev video series. This week, the developers talk about first person combat mechanics that will come into play once players finally get their boots on the ground.

“The Sphere of Combat demonstrates Odyssey’s transformative shift in Elite Dangerous gameplay, showing how Commanders who have found their feet can wield a wide selection of weapons to win out against any opponents. These new weapons will range from assault rifles, shotguns and SMGs, to heavier anti-spacecraft weaponry, each dealing deadly thermal, kinetic or explosive damage, and offering its own distinct advantages.”

Elite Dangerous: Odyssey will allow players to touch down on any of the numerous planets across the galaxy and explore them freely on foot for the first time. The expansion is scheduled to launch in early 2021 on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One and is now available for pre-order on the Frontier Store, the Epic Games Store, and on Steam.
