Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Update 14 introduces Maelstroms, Mysteries, and more

Along with widespread changes and bug fixes, the 14th update for Elite Dangerous introduces eight enormous anomalies, otherwise known as Maelstroms, all accompanied by plenty of deadly Thargoid ships preparing to take humanity down for good.

While players may be able to destroy the smaller ships, the Maelstroms hold a mystery only dedicated commanders can uncover, it’s up to you to save humanity from these dangerous new anomalies.

The update also sees the addition of a reworked Thargoid Interceptor known as the Orthrus. This Interceptor behaves in a way otherwise unseen in Elite Dangerous and will undeniably be a brand new challenge for players.

To enjoy the new Elite Dangerous update, you’ll need to own a copy of the base game on PC. Doing so will allow you to envelop yourself in the wide narrative experience seen in the brand-new Thargoids update.
