Elite Dangerous | Thargoid War Epilogue

The last Titan, Cocijo, has fallen.

The war is over. We vanquished the enemy at our doorstep and now is the time to rebuild.

Humanity will be unbounded, our light will shine out across the stars exploring the furthest reaches of our galaxy. Seeking new wonders and forging a new path on untamed worlds. This will be our triumph.

We owe to all that came before and all that comes after.

Let us begin again.

Elite Dangerous is such a vast space sim that 99% of it is still unexplored

We're spoilt for choice when it comes to exploring the universe in space games. You can get behind the controls of Starfield, No Man's Sky, Eve Online, The Outer Worlds, and countless more to experience different flavors of interplanetary travel. After ten years on the market, however, none do it quite like Elite Dangerous. Part MMO, FPS, and space simulator, Elite Dangerous has an entire persistent universe that players can shape through their actions, and it's getting even bigger in 2025. Considering how little players have explored the game in the last decade, next year is poised to massively expand what's on offer.

Elite Dangerous | Titan Presence In Sol

Greetings Commanders,

As humanity banded together to strike down the penultimate Titan Raijin, the final Titan was plotting its next move... Swiftly jumping away from its previous invasion point, the final Thargoid Titan Cocijo has done what nobody expected. The Thargoid invasion of the birthplace of humanity, Sol, has begun.

The Thargoid forces have decimated the defence forces of Sol and its surrounding systems. Now, the birthplace of the human race stands on the brink of destruction. The time has come for every Commander to jump into their ships, load up their missile racks and do their part in the final battle.

Head to Sol now and join in the war for humanity that will go down in history!
