In the first of Elite: Dangerous' expansions, Horizons, players can journey seamlessly from space to the ground and choose their own landing point on accurately simulated planets and moons throughout Elite: Dangerous’ full-scale Milky Way galaxy. Players coast over mountain tops, dive into canyons and take command of the new ‘SRV’ ground vehicles. Each of these worlds offers incredible vistas and countless gameplay opportunities as players discover valuable resources, experience deadly combat encounters, raid bases, scout crash sites, and cooperate with other players on the planet surface and flying high above. Planetary landings are an entirely new way to play Elite: Dangerous, and is just the first part of the Horizons season of updates. This expansion is now part of the base game; it became unavailable for purchase on October 27, 2020.
