Elite Dangerous just flipped the table on a storyline that’s been building for years. Salvation, an alias used by a former biochemical executive, activated a giant anti-xeno superweapon called the Proteus Wave, intending to rid the galaxy of the Thargoids, the mysterious aliens that appeared in the massive space game almost five years ago. Salvation’s weapon backfired catastrophically, as players now see when they log in. The rules have changed, and Elite Dangerous’ developers tell us that the Thargoids are going to be scary again.
