Elite Dangerous: Horizons

Our second season kicked off in December 2015 with the epic Planetary Landings expansion. Now featuring The Engineers, Horizons continues into 2016 with further major expansions dedicated to gameplay, community, and narrative including:


The Engineers.

Unlock a new level of customization for your ship and modules. Hidden on planet surfaces across the populated galaxy, each Engineer has a unique personality and history – and they just might choose to help you... for the right price.

Looting and Crafting.

Discover game-changing loot and craft a ship unlike any other. Smuggle materials to the outposts of the elusive Engineers and earn their respect to unlock powerful module upgrades.


Planetary landings.

Travel seamlessly from space to any point on the surface of accurately simulated planets and moons throughout Elite Dangerous' full-scale Milky Way galaxy, and drive new SRV ground vehicles. Each 1:1 scale world offers incredible vistas and countless gameplay opportunities.
