It is well known that the dead live longer No Man's Sky seems to be following this adage and is getting the next big update. After this Pathfinder update, version 1.2 corresponded, comes with Atlas Rises 1.3 and brings various new features.
So far, No Man's Sky has mainly been a huge sandbox space game, huge in the truest sense of the word as players have a full universe with millions of planets to choose from.
No Man's Sky - Now with story and missions
With Atlas Rises Story elements for a new alien race are added. The developers promise 30 hours of history and background details with the update.
In general, the universe seems to be filling with more life, so next to graphical improvements of the planets there will be more opportunities for trade and conflict.
Even Missions will be available on the space stations with which the proud spaceship captain can earn something. This gives you a change from the improved and more complex new farms, mines & trading.
For the basic construction there are new possibilities to edit and change the terrain, with the new terrain manipulation there are far more complex variants than before.
Fast travel with the new star gates
Stargates, so star gates, enable fast travel to other star systems. Before that, they have to be unlocked by deciphering glyphs. These glyph combinations, entered into the Stargates, then determine the destination. Somewhat reminiscent of Stargate SG-1, but offers the right flair for exploring space.
The developers also have that Space combat dedicated. With new weapons and a new cockpit UI, it should be much easier to maintain an overview and emerge as a winner.
One feature that is implemented in a rudimentary way is that Multiplayer function:
- Glitches in the simulation have begun to appear.
- Visualized by strange floating orbs, up to 16 players can see and communicate with one another, and explore the universe together.
Other players should be visible as floating balls. This allows up to 16 players to explore the universe together. Even if the interaction options are very limited for the time being, a VOIP (Voice over IP) function will allow you to talk to other players in the immediate vicinity.
The relentless updates and new features of No Man's Sky are slowly but surely creating the game that the community had hoped for when it launched. A lot of respect is due to the developers "Hello Games", who, after the gigantic uproar, stuck to their project for publication and are now delivering more and more functions.
