This video is a capture of a livestream showing off planetary landings in Elite Dangerous using work-in-progress footage from Elite Dangerous Horizons, the expansion coming later this year to the space combat game. Here's an outline of what the video shows:

As I'm sure you recall, in Elite Dangerous: Horizons, players will be able to land on airless worlds throughout the 400 billion star systems of the game’s simulated Milky Way. Every planet is based on real science, right down to the age of the impact craters on its surface.

In this video, Frontier’s rendering team take you on a tour of our Stellar Forge galaxy-building engine and show how Frontier is recreating an entire galaxy for you to explore, trade, fight and survive in. It’s a rare look inside the tech that powers an entire simulated galaxy.
