<div>This article contains rumours and hearsay (some from David Braben himself) about what Elite 4 may contain. The article will be appended to as news comes in.<br />

The following article has appeared: <br />

=== Play.com ===<br />
<br />
Controversially, play.com has had a release date for Elite 4, which indicated September 2006. Their pre-order for "Elite IV - The Next Encounter" has now been moved to 30th March 2007. Frontier Developments have said that play.com are merely speculating, and a name for Elite 4 has not been chosen and certainly no dates have been released.<br />

In the article Mr Braben talks specifically about Elite 4, so it looks very much as if it IS going to be made, thank God!<br />

Elite 4 absolutely has to be 'right' - and does indeed need to stand out from the perceived competition. Trebor, you are right to be sceptical; the game has to be outstanding to live up to expectations, and the three reasons you give have to be considered.<br />
<br />
Nevertheless, I have never seen Elite as (just) a space trading game - it is way more than that - even though I realise this is how it has been classified since. What we plan to with Elite 4 is quite different, and much of what we are doing in Outsider will feed into that.<br />
