Horizons introduces the ability to explore planet surfaces

Frontier reveals first Elite Dangerous expansion

Space sim Elite Dangerous has announced what effectively sounds like a Season Pass for a range of upcoming content.

The whole package is called Horizons and the star feature is the Planetary Landings bundle, which for the first time, provides players with the chance to explore a planet’s surface for the first time via a Mako-style buggy called the Scarab.

Frontier adds that the transition from flying among the stars to driving around on planets will be seamless.

MCV has the full story, and the first trailer.
