Having been unable to agree to a funding deal with a publisher for many years, Frontier began its Kickstarter campaign in November 2012. It is the sequel to Frontier: First Encounters, released in 1995.
Elite Dangerous is the fourth game in the Elite video game series. The game is the first in the series to attempt massively multiplayer gameplay, with players' actions affecting the narrative story of the game's persistent universe, while also retaining a single-player mode. The player takes the role of a pilot (colloquially referred to as "Commander" or "CMDR") of a spaceship, and explores a realistic 1:1 scale, open-world representation of the Milky Way galaxy, with the gameplay being open-ended. This was not an easy decision to make, but it was made with the long-term future of Elite Dangerous in mind.Elite Dangerous is a space flight simulation game developed and published by Frontier Developments. We appreciate this news is not what our console community were hoping for. Elite Dangerous will continue on console as it is now together with critical updates, but we will focus on new content updates on PC on the post-Odyssey codebase. We need to be able to move forward with the story of the game, and in order for us to do this we need to focus on a single codebase. Over the last several months, we have been wrestling with the best way to move forward, and it is with a heavy heart we have decided to cancel all console development. We have been supporting the pre-Odyssey and post-Odyssey codebases since.
Since Odyssey’s release in May 2021, we have worked tirelessly to improve the Odyssey experience on PC, and whilst we have made great progress there is still more to be done. It’s no secret that Odyssey’s launch was less than ideal, including the need to split the PC/console player base to focus on a PC-only launch. Elite Dangerous is a game close to my heart.
