Hello Games has been teasing that something new is coming to No Man's Sky for quite some time, with leaks also appearing on places like Reddit (where we got some new screenshots) but now they're finally ready to officially unveil what it is.
Sean Murray has announced that we're getting a new massive update this week, and although he doesn't want to reveal all the details about it, he confirms one of the theories fans came up with after seeing yesterday's screenshots - we'll indeed be able to fast travel by using portals. The second thing he can say is that the update also will improve the game's story. How? We don't know, but we like the idea of it, especially since it definitely seems like a big part of the update, as the update itself is called Atlas Rises.
"When we posted those cassettes we didn't know what to expect. In the last eight weeks a quarter of a million players from across the globe (174 countries, to be precise!) have come together - united by a shared love of mystery and science fiction - to form the Citizen Science Division. You've travelled great distances both real and virtual, undertaken complex tasks, and explored the depths of simulation theory. New friendships have been forged, and a tight-knit community has been created. Most importantly a cute hamster has a new home," Murray writes.
Are these some of the improvements you've been waiting for?
