Space sim Elite: Dangerous released a couple of beta builds focused on its close quarters combat (CQC) gameplay this week. Producer Michael Brookes says that the next such test will arrive next week and that it will be open to all players.
Brookes also writes about the first bunch of player-sponsored factions in the game’s latest dev blog. They should go live along with the CQC stuff — and the Xbox One official release — on October 6th.
