''" | On October 22, 2019, Community Manager Will Flanagan said:''"The team have been hard at work on the next major milestone, which you may remember we mentioned back in March as our next major paid addition to the game. They’re making fantastic progress and on schedule for release by the end of next year. We are very excited to show you what we’ve been working on. However, we can only announce the content when it’s at the right stage of development, we estimate this will be ready to talk about at some time in summer 2020, after the Fleet Carriers update. We appreciate there is a bit of a wait, but we want to make sure it is ready to be shown before making our full official announcement to the world."''<ref>https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/community-update-22-10.527123/</ref> | ||
On June 3, 2020, a trailer for the expansion was accidentally uploaded for the expansion, and shortly taken down - however, the video has been re-uploaded by other channels. The trailer shows two commanders in a Cobra Mk 3 landing on a atmospheric desert planet, following an Anaconda to a base using jump packs, and aiming their weapons at the Anaconda.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxleLJ1wjTc Elite Dangerous Odyssey Announcement Trailer]</ref> | |||
