What lies beyond as Elite Dangerous: Beyond – Chapter One is out now

Frontier only just teased the release a few weeks ago and now its here, Elite Dangerous: Beyond – Chapter One is out now for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 and marks the first release of Elite Dangerous' third season of content, with the best part being that it's free.

Beyond - Chapter One introduces challenging Wing Missions, all-new megaship interactions that allow for collection of data and cargo, and a range of major quality of life improvements including changes to the crime and punishment mechanics, visual planetary enhancements, an overhaul of the mission rewards system and the addition of a trade data overlay that will help Commanders find the most profitable trades in the Milky Way.

The Thargoid story continues in Beyond – Chapter One. Following the recent alien attack on humanity’s starports, Chapter One sees the shape of the threat continuing to change as an enemy craft from long ago resurfaces ready to strike any daring pilots that cross its path.

In response to the rising alien threat a new Alliance/Lakon Spaceways ship – the Chieftain – takes to the skies in Chapter One. Designed to favour weapons and manoeuvrability over defence, this combat-oriented craft presents a new challenge for the Thargoids in the hands of capable pilots.

If that was not enough for you, there is even more things to do and discover, so your best option is to get out there and start exploring.
