Frontier have released the first pre-alpha gameplay for Elite Dangerous’ upcoming expansion Odyssey, which will kick you out of the cockpit and let you explore planets on foot for the first time, check it out.

All three Commanders in the incursion team are specially equipped for their assigned role, selected from the wide range of space suits, weapons and equipment available in Elite Dangerous: Odyssey. Their tactical gear grants them an edge in their assigned tasks, whether it is to infiltrate the base avoiding detection, lay down covering fire if the alarm is raised, hacking, or quickly extract their teammates from a tight spot if enemy forces overwhelm them.

The big news though, the gameplay is pretty cool though, is that the game will enter Alpha on March 29 for PC, giving players an early taste of the game, whilst helping the developers iron out any pesky little bugs that may appear.

The game will release in full on PC, sometime in late Autumn, but it won’t come to consoles until later in the year.
