Elite Dangerous Vanguards DLC Release date REVEALED
[Music] Hello, it’s Ricardo and welcome back to Elite Dangerous. It was thought to be delayed to be further on in the year, late summer. That could be anything. In the UK, we have Indian summers into September. But big news everybody and great news. Elite Dangerous and Frontier Developments is going to get the Vanguards update and will be available on Tuesday the 19th of August. Now, the Elite Dangerous Vanguards features the Vanguard Squadron Fleet Carrier. And what a behemoth that is. Just briefly, the improved squadron system that is the entire basis of Vanguards means you get that dedicated squadron carrier and you can see it on the screen with some of those huge Panther clippers looking well dwarfed by it if that’s correct and scale artist impression. We get that anyway. You also get a squadron bank where you can share resources, items, and even ships. and a reworked Squadron browser complete with banners, mottos, IDs, even customizable logos. Squadron perks also are there to benefit your members and much more. So, the 19th of August sounds exciting and earlier than what we actually anticipated. Now, Elite Dangerous Vanguards isn’t really a new game mode as such. It’s a free update designed to transform and elevate the existing Squadrons experience within Elite Dangerous. So, if you think about it as the spiritual successor to Squadrons 1.0, totally rebuilt for better communication, easier organization, and a more immersive group experience. So, like we mentioned, there’s Rework Squadron user interface and social tools. There’s also an expanded rank system, personalized squadron decals, squadron perks, a squadron fleet carrier. I think we’ve said that quite a few times now. Also, the squadron bank, and also revamped leaderboards. Well, more news as it breaks everybody. But Elite Dangerous Vanguards, it’s going to be with us before you know it. It’s not long to the 19th. I’ve been Ricardo. It’s good news. I’ll see you soon.
Elite Dangerous: Vanguards will drop on the 19th of August, and it’s about to completely transform how Squadrons work in the galaxy.
In this video, we break down all the new features coming on 19 August 2025 — from a reworked Squadron UI and enhanced communication tools, to customizable ranks, squadron perks, shared fleet carriers, and even a squadron bank for collective resources.
