Last September, we told you about the new update of No Man’s Sky called Aquarius. Hello Games game is becoming one of those “almost everlasting” games with constant new updates. And that’s precisely why today we’re talking to you about The Cursed, the new update for No Man’s Sky now available.
This patch leaves the game at version 5.2 and will allow you to fight against realities that are collapsing into a disturbing twilight zone. We must fight to maintain control of reality while we are stalked by visions and voices from another dimension. This update takes place in a sort of twilight realm, halfway between one reality and another. Travelers will not have access to hyperdrive technology, meaning they will not be able to travel between star systems. Interstellar travel can only be accomplished through the ancient portal network.
Spectral anomalies – ghostly creatures drifting across borders – will gather to observe Travelers moving through their domains. Likewise, most of the time they are just there to observe, but be careful: as your suit’s anomaly suppressor weakens, time will begin to behave non-linearly and these anomalies can become hostile . Next, travelers will need to prepare a series of otherworldly concoctions to navigate The Cursed. Maintain the strength of borders with Crystal Elixir, reveal the location of portals with Quicksilver Elixir, and open portals with Blood Elixir. For those who reach the end of the journey, their final test will require drinking the Elixir of Water… and the consequences that will follow.
