'Elite Dangerous: Horizon' release date: Xbox One on June 3, PC latest expansion May 26
PC gamers are familiar with "Elite Dangerous: Horizons," which has become an instant eye of envy for console gamers and was initially thought as a PC exclusive. Fortunately, the developers at Frontier Developments have just announced that an Xbox One version of the game is coming out on June 3.
Console gamers now have a chance to play this space adventure, trading, combat simulator game. The game features the players piloting their own spaceship and travelling across the galaxy while competing with other players. It prides itself of an open-ended story where the players, along with their actions, dictate the outcome and continuation of the story. In essence, the game itself is an ever-growing and expanding universe where each update contains new content that players can partake in.
The PC version will be having a new content called "The Engineers," which will be out on May 26. PC gamers that availed of the Season Pass would get this for free. The expansion introduces new loot and crafting options to further customize the player's ship. This expansion goes well with their initial expansion "Planetary Landings" where players are able to land and explore the planets they discover to unlock their secrets. The developers also noted that when the Xbox One version is released, they will simultaneously release updates, making sure that neither player base is left behind.
It is good to note that those buying the Xbox One version will be having the base game, along with the two expansion packs released. However, PlayStation 4 gamers may wait a little bit longer since there hasn't been an announcement regarding the release date for this console. Perhaps in the upcoming Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) event this June or the month after the release of the Xbox One version, PlayStation 4 (PS4) gamers would learn more about it.
