Hello Games is celebrating ten years of No Man's Sky and has given a preview of its upcoming update, Cosmos

By now, the launch of No Man's Sky is little more than a distant memory, but it turns out this August marks ten years since that day. The title was one of the most eagerly anticipated releases of the year, a game created by an indie studio that was propelled to the forefront of expectations by a massive marketing campaign and the sincere promise that the game - which at the time felt empty and unfinished - would improve. The rest, as we know, is gaming history.

Hello Games has carried out the greatest redemption campaign for a game ever seen, and has far exceeded expectations. No Man's Sky has added dozens of updates, featuring new biomes, creatures, ships, minerals, ways to travel and play (alone or with friends), interactions with aliens, a base-building system, and star fleet management, all of which would, in their own right, be complete games in their own right outside of this space epic... In short, No Man's Sky has become so much more than even its creators and the imaginations of millions of excited players could have dreamt of back in August 2016.

However, they have now released a compilation of the journey from that day until today, as well as a small preview of what's to come. Because content development is not yet over, and the next update already has a name: 'Cosmos'.
