No Man’s Sky has received its latest major update, Update 5.5 also known as Worlds Part 2. This new update for the game sees the addition of new planets, new stars, and a new story.
“The algorithm of the universe has evolved to generate beautiful new mountains, deep valleys, and sprawling plains on untouched planets, waiting to be discovered,” developer Hello Games wrote.
With Worlds Part 2, a new class of star has appeared as well as new purple-class solar systems that include “countless new worlds”.
“With Worlds Part [2], we added billions of new star systems and trillions of new planets to the universe,” Hello Games founder Sean Murray said. “This allows us to push the boundaries of our engine and technology without changing the things people love about the game already.
“If you settled on your home planet with a beautiful base that you lovingly crafted, that is safe – but now there are new worlds to explore with a level of variety no one has seen before.”
Aside from the new stars and planets also comes a new story for players to experience. The new narrative-driven mission “deepens the lore of the universe and expands upon the story of Atlas, Atlantid, and the robotic Autophage lifeforms.”
Other big new features with the update include deep oceans with new underwater biomes, better inventory sorting with the push of a button, a new “abandoned” mode that removes all alien life from the game, dynamic weather hazards, and more.
You can check out the extensive list of new features and fixes via the game’s official website.
