The
Elite: Dangerous
website announces the release of
Elite: Dangerous Newsletter #72, which reveals plans for
Powerplay, a
major content release coming next month to Frontier Development's space-based
MMORPG. They offer extensive details on how this will work, also providing a
concise summary:
Powerplay is a new way to play Elite: Dangerous.
In Powerplay, you can participate in an ongoing battle for interstellar conquest
and control that enhances every aspect of the Elite: Dangerous experience.
When Powerplay launches, you'll be able to ally yourself with any one of a
number of galactic Powers, earning valuable perks, reputation bonuses and
credits for your allegiance.
As a trusted ally of your chosen Power, you will be able to guide their
strategy, take on special objectives to advance your shared cause, and dominate
human space. Your choices and actions will have a direct and visible impact on
the balance of galactic power.
And of course, Powerplay is a FREE content update for all Elite: Dangerous
players and will be part of Elite: Dangerous for Mac and Xbox One at
launch.
