Beta testing phase for the Elite: Dangerous' Horizons expansion begins today, starting with Planetary Landings. Horizons is the new season of content updates for the game, it will introduce major gameplay features as the season continues into 2016, including new ships, new missions and Close Quarter Combat (CQC) arenas.

In this first update players will get to test for the very first time the surface, an entirely new way to play. They will be able to explore planets and moons throughout Elite Dangerous’ full scale re-creation of our Milky Way. Each of these worlds offers valuable resources, bases to raid, crash sites to explore and amazing landscapes. And all without loading screens.

“Planetary Landings in Elite Dangerous is the closest most of us will ever come to visiting other worlds, and it’s just the beginning of Horizons’ new season of gameplay expansions,” Frontier Developments CEO David Braben said. “There is so much new gameplay to experience, new things to discover, and new ways to bring our amazing community together. It’s also a great technical achievement for our incredible team, using cutting edge technology to create realistic simulated worlds and add to the enormous depth and richness of the Elite Dangerous galaxy.”

The Horizons beta for PC is available at the store for £49.99 (€67.99, $74.99), with beta and full access to every expansion available throughout Elite Dangerous: Horizons season. Existing Elite Dangerous players who pre-order either the beta or standard edition will receive a £10 (€14, $15) loyalty discount off the retail price and will unlock the exclusive ‘Cobra Mk IV’ spacecraft in Elite Dangerous: Horizons.
