In this game, gamer have to battle dangerous wars, trades and searches in space.

This is the fourth edition of the adventure game Elite. In 2012, to make new sequel of the game, its manufacturing company Kickstarter started fundraising campaign to raise funds. After the end of its Kickstarter campaign, Frontier continued to raise funds via its website and from gamers who have paid to take part in the testing phases of the game.

One of the developer of the game David Braben said he used Kickstarter because it would have been hard to get a publisher to back the idea.

Managing director at gaming news site PCGamesN James Binns said that Elite will face strong competition from another title, Star Citizen, which was also calling on a strong community to back it.

"Elite has a fabulous heritage," he said "The loyalty that people have to it comes from playing it in the 80s."

Also a rival, said Mr Binns, a game called No Man's Sky made by Guildford-based Hello Games.

The game was announced at an event on 22 November at which some players had a chance look at what the finished game will look like. Initially, the game is made for just PCs, but soon it will release a version for Mac.

Mr Braben said to BBC "It is important we make a great game first, but then we will look at other platforms."
