MAPPING EVENT

The follow-up to Distant Worlds 3302 —  the expedition that changed group exploration of the Galaxy forever — Distant Worlds 2 was the definitive massively-multiplayer exploration experience. With around 13,600 Commanders signed up and Frontier's official support, this one-of-a-kind adventure was a game-changer.

The expedition took place on all platforms over a 5-month period (Jan. 13th 2019 - Jun. 13th 2019) for the outbound trip to Beagle Point, 65,000ly from Sol. Visit the 
Information Index for more info.


Although supported by Frontier, Distant Worlds 2 was not an official Elite: Dangerous event.
