Few games enjoy a comeback story quite like No Man’s Sky. First, it was a catastrophic mess. Now, it’s a space-faring blast! So, for a limited time — for two weeks starting today — you can experience the game’s latest major update: “Expedition Sixteen: The Cursed.” This Eldritch nightmare of an offering will contain horrifying visions, sinister voices, ancient portals, and a varied host of additional horrors!
Here, you won’t be able to use your hyperdrive technology. Instead, you’ll have to rely solely on portals. Your exosuit will also come with an Anomaly Suppressor, keeping you tethered to reality. But who would I be to spoil all the surprises? Go play for yourself and see what horrors await!
Oh, I have one final surprise for you. No Man’s Sky new Patch 5.20 details for you to bask in (which is now live)!
