We understand that since we granted 4.0 access to all PC players, some Commanders have been using version 3.8 to play with friends who do not yet own Odyssey. These will be clearly marked as such in the store. Moving forwards, some cosmetics may be exclusive to Live mode.

Actions in Legacy Mode will not affect the Live game.Īll cosmetics purchased prior to Update 14 will be available across both Legacy and Live versions. Whilst there will be no new narrative content such as GalNet or Community Goals, you will still be able to affect the galaxy via the background simulation. Legacy mode will be accessible from the launcher as a separate download from the Live game.

What we can say for now about Updates 15 and 16 is that they will both contain new content and gameplay mechanics linked to the unfolding events in the galaxy. Focusing development on a single version branch has already been essential to delivering content of the same calibre as the Azimuth Saga finale.Īftermath will see its next major release with galaxy-wide implications in Update 14, with more to come in Updates 15 and 16. Additionally, from Update 14 onwards, there will be two different modes to Elite Dangerous: Live mode and Legacy Mode.Īs of Update 14, version 4.0 will become the “Live” mode in which all new content and events will be introduced. On 29 November, Update 14 will bring fundamental and exciting changes to the galaxy, built upon the 4.0 framework. In our Access to 4.0 post from August, we mentioned that future content would only be available to players on the 4.0 framework and from September we have offered access to version 4.0 to all PC users without requiring a purchase of Odyssey.
