Elite Dangerous: Odyssey PC alpha coming this month

Elite Dangerous: Odyssey is still on track to release this year and soon, we'll have the chance to try it out for ourselves. This week, Frontier announced an upcoming alpha playtest and detailed the features and content we can expect to see. 

The PC alpha test for Elite Dangerous: Odyssey will be kicking off on the 29th of March. To drum up some extra excitement, Frontier has also released a video showcasing an entire new mission from the expansion, which will see Commanders going on foot and engaging in fire fights while raiding a military outpost:

The playable alpha will be our first look at Odyssey's new boots-on-ground gameplay. Unfortunately, getting into the alpha will require a pre-order of the expansion.

Currently, Elite Dangerous: Odyssey is set to release on PC sometime during the Spring. Then in Autumn 2021, the expansion will also come to PS4 and Xbox One. Next-gen enhanced editions of Elite Dangerous have not been announced yet.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
