Elite: Dangerous is a first-person adventure that puts you behind the wheels of your own starship as you traverse across the galaxy in an evolving narrative, and now it has a standalone PVP, thanks to Elite Dangerous: Arena, available today.
“Elite Dangerous: Arena thrusts players into first-person dogfights against the galaxy’s greatest pilots in stunning 3D space arenas. With easy to pick-up controls that quickly reveal incredible depth, Elite Dangerous: Arena is a new way to engage in fast-paced PVP action against players from around the world for just £4.99 ($7.49, €6.75, 375 RUB).”
In a media release sent out today by developer Frontier Developments, we not only got the prices but also details regarding how the pseudo-expansion will work. Players who already own the game will not need to purchase Arena. Otherwise known as CQC (Close Quarters Combat) in the game, Â Arena is the CQC component of the game already released.
“Players who buy Elite Dangerous: Arena and later choose to enter the epic Elite Dangerous galaxy will receive the full cost of Elite Dangerous: Arena off the price of Elite Dangerous: Deluxe Edition.”
The best space fighters will have the chance to win $100,000 in Frontier’s Close Quarters Combat Championship tournament. Players can earn their spot by participating in designated heats held throughout the spring and summer.
