Frontier Developments Launches New Elite Dangerous: Horizons Game

Wed, 05th Aug 2015 09:13

LONDON (Alliance News) - Frontier Developments PLC Wednesday said it has released another season of major game-play expansions for the its award winning Elite: Dangerous on PC and started pre-launch orders at the Gamescom trade-show in Koln, Germany.

The expansion is called Elite Dangerous: Horizons, and the first new content updates is called Planetary Landings, which will provide players with access to planetary surfaces in the game for the first time.

Frontier said Planetary Landings will be released in the fourth quarter of 2015, with further elements of the Horizons expansion expected to roll out into 2016.

The expansion will include all Elite: Dangerous content released to date and costs GBP39.99 for new players, while existing owners of the game can pre-order Horizons at a GBP10 discount for a limited period of time. Players will be charged as they add new editions.

"Elite Dangerous: Horizons now makes clear how we plan to monetize Elite: Dangerous going forwards. This novel approach keeps the community together and avoids 'pay to win' pitfalls common in other games," said Frontier Chief Executive Officer David Braben.

Frontier shares were trading down 1.7% at 198.00 pence Wednesday morning.
