Next week, Hello Games will release the next major update for the space online game No Man’s Sky.
This time it will be a bit darker. The update “The Abyss” aims to address the sinister aspects of traveling through space – which fits well with Halloween.
A Dark Update is Coming
What “The Abyss” offers: The Abyss is a substantial update that goes beyond the weekly developer patches. As is often the case with major updates to No Man’s Sky, Hello Games is still holding back on the exact content details.
- The update is expected to focus on the more “unsettling” things that come with exploring space
- The theme will fit well with Halloween next week
- Players speculate that it could be about the “Biological Horrors” that appear when attacking a “Whispering Egg”
When will the update be released? The Abyss will be released next week. However, Hello Games has not specified an exact date yet. Presumably, the free update will be released simultaneously for all versions of the game, PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
No Man’s Sky Keeps Getting Better
How No Man’s Sky has changed: The space online game launched in the summer of 2016 and disappointed many players. They had envisioned something different based on the previews. However, many updates introduced numerous improvements, making No Man’s Sky increasingly popular.
- The biggest Update NEXT was released on July 24 and introduced exactly what players had been wishing for: “Real” multiplayer, where you can truly interact with other players
- The Pilgrim motorcycle was integrated as a new vehicle
- Exploration leaderboards for the Galactic Atlas, enabling the community to track progress among factions
These are just a few of the recent changes to the game.
How Fans Are Reacting: Fans are excited and eagerly anticipating what The Abyss will bring.
RendCycle writes on Steam: “With all these free updates, Hello Games prove that they remain true to their words when they said that NMS is a passion project.”
Devil Echo Zefir says: “OMG this looks so amazing!”
