Elite: Dangerous - Die Thargoiden sind zurück!
Version 2.4 jetzt erhältlich.
Wie es aussieht, wird es mal wieder Zeit, in den Pilotensessel zu steigen, denn Elites sagenhafte Feinde von einst sind in das Universum zurückgehrt: Die Thargoiden.
Frontier Developments spielte gestern im Laufe des Abends das neue Update 2.4 auf allen drei Plattformen - PC, XBox One und PS4 - auf, das erste Mal, dass eines der großen Updates zeitgleich auf allen drei Formaten erschien. Die begleitende Server-Downtime ist mittlerweile ausgesessen, was bedeutet, dass ihr euch jetzt auf die Suche nach den übermächtigen organischen Raumschiffen machen könnt.
Das Client-Update bringt rund 7 GB auf die Platte. Die Patch Notes sind zu lang, um sie hier wiederzugeben, weshalb wir euch vertrauensvoll an das offizielle Elite Dangerous Forum verweisen. Hier fürs erste aber die Änderungen der Marke "neuer Content & neue Features". "Mysteriöse und aufregende Dinge..." sind definitiv ein Highlight.
