No Many’s Sky’s NEXT Update is due to drop on July 24th, and it has some big changes in store for one of the more controversial games of 2016. I think it’s safe to say this game was a pretty big letdown on release, but Hello Games has been relentlessly working on making No Man’s Sky a better experience with each update.The NEXT update keeps that track going and is one more step to helping Hello Games redeem themselves.
Here is what’s dropping next week:
Multiplayer Mode:
- Team up with some friends, play along random adventurers.
- Help said friends by reviving them or take advantage of others to make it out in the vast expanse.
- Have epic dogfights along with friends and enemies.
- Drive a variety of vehicles across different planets depending on your wants and desires.
- Build a base and try to grow a colony.
Massive Base Building Capabilities:
- The ability to build a base on any planet and using the different resources on said planet.
- Size limits on the bases are increased, making building and growing a more intricate experience.
Visual Overhaul:
- Play in first or third-person while on foot or piloting your ship.
- Advanced color palate and textures, making the game look and feel more smooth.
- Planets have more variety in regards to terrain, vegetation, and the animals you encounter.
Freight Building:
- Build and design a massive freight ship and grow it into a fleet.
- Have friends come on board to play designated missions granted from the Galactic Commission Station.
- Dispatch your fleet to other star systems to explore and find other resources.
This game really burned me, and I haven’t touched it since launch, but from the looks of these updates, I’m going to have to give it another go.
