The sci-fi imaginative and prescient of No Man’s Sky is generally exploration and pleasure, about seeing what procedurally-generated wonders is likely to be on the opposite aspect of the following soar. The ‘Desolation’ replace, launched at the moment, provides a contact extra sci-fi horror because it sends gamers into derelict and alien-infested spaceships. These procedurally-generated freighter wrecks adrift in house have new loot to salvage, a bit like Space Hulk however with out the fascists. Here, watch this trailer to see among the spookies you’ll probably meet.
Wrecks will likely be on the market in house so that you can uncover, filled with secrets and techniques to study. Maybe aliens have infested it. Life help programs may very well be busted. Maybe the safety system will attempt to homicide you. But you would possibly discover knowledge logs revealing the crews’ procedurally-generated fates, in addition to freighter tech to salvage on your capital ship and machines that may develop its stock slots. You can stumble throughout ships by probability, detected by the radar when pootling round along with your pulse drive, or purchase the brand new Emergency Broadcast Receiver to hunt them out. Just keep in mind that it’s at all times an choice to not go in.
I believed that sounded a cool sufficient addition for an replace by itself, then I saved scrolling down the Desolation Update page and it saved on going. The patch has lots of different adjustments too.
You can construct teleporters zooming you between bases, house stations, and your freighter. Combat is reworked with “with a focus on a faster-paced, more dynamic, and more satisfying combat experience” and new visible results. New surveying and rescue multiplayer missions are in. Lighting is up to date with new bloom, lens flare, and volumetric gentle sources. You can now repaint your freighter. Freighter storage could be accessed from the stock display. And extra! See the replace web page for all the pieces.
No Man’s Sky is half-price on Steam for the following few days.
