On June 3, 2020, less than a week before the release of the [[Fleet Carriers Update]], a trailer for the expansion containing in-engine pre-alpha footage and revealing its name as ''Elite Dangerous: Odyssey'' was accidentally uploaded to the official ''Elite Dangerous'' YouTube channel. Although the trailer was swiftly removed, copies of it were captured and uploaded by fans, and Frontier Developments eventually decided to advance their announcement plans and reveal ''Odyssey'' the same day.<ref name="Odyssey" />

[[File:ED-Odyssey-System-Requirements.png|thumb|Odyssey Roadmap for 2022]]
On May 4, 2022, Frontier released a top-level roadmap for 2022. The three focuses are launching the next phase of the narrative, stability and optimisation with 3 updates. Within the narrative, human space balances on the precipice as tension mounts within the bubble. The Azimuth Saga will conclude in a grand finale event, the consequences of which will mark the beginning of the next stage of the Elite story in Update 14. Meanwhile, updates 12 and 13 will largely focus on quality-of-life changes, stability and optimisation. Work has also begun on a major feature overhaul for 2023 that will be discussed later this year. Additional game content will be revealed once it is confirmed.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/console-profile-transfers-and-2022-updates.603032/ Console Profile Transfers and 2022 Updates]</ref>
