Elite: Dangerous launch trailer marks Gamma 2.00 update

YouTube

Elite: Dangerous is less than a week away, and that means it's time for a hard-rockin', stick-yankin', blastin'-guys-into-space-junk launch trailer! Six days between launch trailer and the actually launch is a pretty long stretch as these things go, but Frontier Developments is also rolling out the Gamma 2.0 release today, and in that light it makes a little more sense. The pre-release update is a big one, adding some new ships and content, numerous audio changes, and a list of fixes and tweaks that's longer than both your arms put together.

From there he graduated to the glory days of Sierra Online adventures and Microprose sims, ran a local BBS, learned how to build PCs, and developed a longstanding love of RPGs, immersive sims, and shooters. He began writing videogame news in 2007 for The Escapist and somehow managed to avoid getting fired until 2014, when he joined the storied ranks of PC Gamer. He covers all aspects of the industry, from new game announcements and patch notes to legal disputes, Twitch beefs, esports, and Henry Cavill. Lots of Henry Cavill.
