I have collected some new details about Elite Dangerous Odyssey, thanks to a recent interview given to Chris Gregory, Art Director, and Luke Betterton, Game Designer.

A few interesting details:
- New players will be able to start their in-game adventure on foot with their commander
- Possibility of taking missions face to face with NPCs and no longer only through the mission board
- Unconfirmed implication of EVA – « You can form float with other commanders »?
- Upcoming Developer Diary on FPS Combat
- Combat with pilots + SRV + ships altogether confirmed again
- Many new employees with great FPS background have been recruited
- No Cross Platforms so far
- Various styles of combat possible on foot, both silent and strategic or even nag by shooting everywhere
- Many types of planetary bases with NPCs performing actions
- No dedicated servers at the moment for multiplayer, but the question was approved during the interview, let’s have faith! ^ – ^
- No severe weather effects at Odyssey launch, but it would be very interesting to have it in-game
That’s it for the quick news, enjoy the week-end and see you soon on Discord and Twitter!
