No Man’s Sky: Alles auf Null – Server-Reset vor dem offiziellen Launch

In No Man’s Sky, all previous discoveries are erased.

The official launch of No Man’s Sky is just a few days away. On August 10, PS4 players can start, on August 12, PC users.

However, some hardcore fans have already had leaked copies for days, which some greedy retailers sold at outrageous prices. Therefore, more and more information and gameplay material with plenty of spoilers has spread in recent days.

Named planets are being renamed

Owners of an early version of No Man’s Sky could explore the galaxy ahead of time and call numerous planets their own. The large US site Kotaku also reported that they got access to an early version and that their readers can find a Kotaku planet at the official release.

However, the senior programmer of No Man’s Sky, Harry Denholm, responded to this article and announced: The servers will be reset on Sunday, so today. Consequently, all previous files in online storage will disappear. Every discovered planet that has been named will be renamed.

What about the existing character data?

According to Denholm, however, only the online storage data will be deleted, meaning just the users’ discoveries. Character progress will not be affected.

Sony, however, announced something different: According to the company, local storage data will also be erased, as these will not be compatible with the first patch. Tomorrow, on August 8, a “significant pre-release patch” is due. All previous data will not be transferable to the final game.

From August 10, it will finally kick off in Europe. Then all your actions and explorations will be “indelibly” stored in a universal atlas. Then the universe will belong to you.

By the way: According to Gamespot, No Man’s Sky can also be played offline. You do not need to be connected to the servers to play. However, you need online access to register your discoveries. No Man’s Sky will therefore not require a “PlayStation Plus” membership.
