ELITE: DANGEROUS' MYSTERIOUS ALIENS HAVE STARTED ATTACKING PLAYERS

The Thargoids return!

The fifth major update of the Horizons season has been released for Elite: Dangerous, bringing with it the arrival of the Thargoids.

Dubbed Horizons 2.4 – The Return, the new update features an ongoing story arc where commanders find themselves caught up in a battle against the mysterious aliens, whose history dates back the release of the original Elite in 1984. Players will need to employ new strategies and develop new technologies in order to contend with the threat the Thargoids pose to humanity.

The story of the Thargoids can be found in the extended fiction of the Elite franchise, as well as Frontier: Elite II and Frontier: First Encounters. The events that transpire in Elite: Dangerous are set over 50 since those of Frontier: First Encounters.

Elite: Dangerous was released in 2014, but it wasn't until early this year that players discovered the first ever alien in the game, hinting at the possibility of an upcoming in-game invasion event.

Elite: Dangerous: Horizons 2.4 – The Return is included in the Horizons season pass, and is now available across PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
