Remember: when No Man’s Sky hit theaters in 2016, it was met with a somewhat mixed response, but it’s far from finished. The proof with this aegnimatic tweet from its creator.
No Man’s Sky isn’t done offering new content to its fans yet. If no official announcement was made, it was a cryptic tweet from Hello Games director Sean Murray that raised the alarm. It all started on February 15th when the man posted a list of words. We were able to find the following words: Synthesis, LivingShip, ExoMech, Desolation, Origins, NextGen and many others like Echoes. The developer’s most avid fans quickly noticed that it was a list with the names of all the upgrades that the game has benefited from since 2016. However, the interesting thing about the release was that three dots were followed by the Omega symbol.
A surprise for No Man’s Sky
It didn’t take long until this puzzle found its solution. Sean Murray quickly followed up his post with a big announcement. All players, regardless of support, were invited to join the Omega Expedition. For the first time, No Man’s Sky was available for free with this update like no other; “There are no microtransactions, no free-to-play mechanics, just a vast universe to explore with your friends for free.” we could read. Building on the success of this first part, the studio resumed the attack a few hours ago.
Yes, No Man’s Sky is once again free for everyone, without any compensation. No microtransactions or free-to-play mechanics. Just download and play!
With the Omega update, Expeditions are now integrated into the main game, where previously they were just a mode. In these missions you accompany other travelers to complete new quests. That’s not all, several systems have also been revised. “We’ve reimagined the ‘Atlas Path’ by allowing players to communicate with the Atlas and honor him with a new staff, jetpack and helmet.”
A new journey on Light No Fire
Despite everything, it’s certainly almost the end for No Man’s Sky, but Sean Murray is already traveling to other horizons Light, not fire. This new survival game will take place on a planet “the size of the earth» where you have to develop with your friends. It is generated procedurally. The title invites you to create, explore and collaborate in a fantasy world full of secrets. As of the release date, no release date has been announced at this time. However, the software already boasts of being the largest open world software in the world.
