A new and exciting online space game is coming soon to a PC near you -- Elite: Dangerous (ED). It's a space simulator for PC, containing millions of procedural generated star systems to explore. Take a ship and 100 credits, and set out into the unknown. Make your own destiny!2014 is going to be such a great year for the space simulator genre. Both Star Citizen and Limit Theory are already funded and will be made. Now Elite: Dangerous needs your support to be made.
In ED you can choose what you want to do and who you're going to be. You can be a merchant or trader, a mercenary or bounty hunter, an explorer who discovers new star systems, or perhaps you want to be a pirate? Through Internet you connect to this huge online universe with thousands of other players you can work with or fight against. And why not bring a friend or two with you? Friends can team up and create their own teams, or join an already established team.
Just 9 days before the funding campaign ends on Kickstarter, ED has collected £956,542 of its goal of £1,250,000. ED will go in alpha in about a year from now, and beta a couple of months later. Then, in March 2014 it is scheduled for release! If ED sounds like a game you want to play, pledge a few pounds on Kickstarter today! I recommend the £90 tier, which is really good value!Take a few moments now to look at a couple of stunning ED videos. What you see here is from the real game.
There's a lot more information to read and videos to watch on Kickstarter.
This is a big opportunity for everyone who loves space simulators. ED is already a working model today. It looks really great from what we've seen so far. Frontier has worked a long time with this and now asks for a little help to finish what they've started. It's only a few days left now on Kickstarter. Hurry before January 4th!
