On 3 June 2020, Frontier Developments announced the game's second expansion, ''[[Elite Dangerous: Odyssey]]'', would release in Q1 2021. Among other key features, ''Odyssey'' included On Foot functionality, at the time referred to by the community and unofficially by the developers as "Space Legs", a name coined over the years for the highly-anticipated feature.
