Hello Games have announced a new update for the online space game No Man’s Sky with Atlas Rising. This will ease the journey across the galaxy.
There have already been some hints that update 1.3 for NMS has something to do with portals. Recently, a screenshot was released showing a stargate-like portal. Now the developers have spoken out and announced that “Atlas Rising”, the title of the upcoming update 1.3, will introduce fast travel. Exact explanations of how this works and which points in the galaxy the portals will connect are to follow.
Fast Travel through the Galaxy
The fact is that there will be fast travel via the portals. This likely means that you can quickly reach distant locations in the galaxy.
In addition, the developers plan to expand the story of the game with update 1.3. However, they will reveal what exactly that looks like later. However, the team is addressing two points criticized by players: first, the problem of reaching distant locations, and second, that the story has so far been rather poorly implemented.
Hello Games is Listening
Sean Murray from Hello Games explains that they have been quiet for a long time, but that did not mean they weren’t reading player feedback. Atlas Rising would now prove this. In the ARG campaign Waking Titan, which repeatedly dropped hints about the new update, more than 250,000 players participated.
Update 1.3 “Atlas Rising” will be released later this week for No Man’s Sky.
