Summary
No Man’s Sky’sThe Cursed Expedition launched last week, adding a new, spooky adventure for players to get their teeth stuck into.
But no sooner had that expedition launched than players began speculating about what’s next, with Sean Murrayhelping to stoke the flames a little.
“Several More Surprises” Coming To No Man’s Sky In The Coming Weeks
In a PlayStation blog post about The Cursed Expedition,Murray said, “In the coming weeks, we have several more surprises, including a specific release to take advantage of the incredible power of thePlayStation5 Pro at launch.”
Of course, comments like this are designed to build excitement, and it seems Murray succeeded, with players speculating that it could mean the launch of the Worlds Part 2 update.
We have several more surprises, including a specific release to take advantage of the incredible power of the PlayStation 5 Pro at launch.
Since the blog post was shared, multiple threads have popped up onReddit, with many players convinced the tease was specifically focusing on No Man’s Sky’s next major update.Worlds Part 1was transformational for the game, addingtons of new featuresand fundamentally changing water and cloud textures, bringing back thousands of new and lapsed players, so excitement for Part 2 is palpible.
However, while Worlds Part 2 is the key prediction, the speculation went further than No Man’s Sky. Some players have surmised that this post is Hello Games' way of admitting it plans to show off more of its next title,Light no Fire, which debuted atThe Game Awardslast year. With the 2024 version of the event a little over seven weeks away, it seems plausible that it could be shown there, fitting with Murray’s “In the coming weeks” comment.
Of course, while there’s plenty of intrigue among the No Man’s Sky community, Murray’s tease could just be implying that the game is getting aPS5 Proupdate with better frame rates and resolution. But he knows better than to tease that, right?
No Man’s Sky
WHERE TO PLAY
Lose yourself in a vast sci-fi odyssey as you explore a near-infinite, procedurally generated universe.
Set out from the edge of the Euclid galaxy and carve out your own interstellar existence in a vast universe teeming with life, danger and near-endless mystery.
No Man’s Sky is a hugely-ambitious, heavily-stylised, sci-fi adventure that spans entire galaxies all brought to life with procedural generation. Travel through an endless array of increasingly diverse and dangerous star systems, prospecting for rare materials, trading with alien life, populate planets and searching for clues to the meaning of the universe’s mysterious existence.
How you survive is up to you. Assemble entire fleets of dreadnought-class freighters and tear across the universe; build sprawling habitable bases across planet surfaces, beneath the ground or under the ocean; buy and upgrade your own weapons and star ships and do battle with outlaw space pirates, hostile alien fauna or the mysterious sentinel fleets.
The universe is yours to explore - trillions upon trillions of planets, waiting to be discovered.
