No Man’s Sky developer Hello Games has continued the relentless pace of updates for the space game, this time releasing a 10th anniversary patch called Cosmos.
Hello Games chief Sean Murray said Cosmos is one of No Man Sky’s “biggest and craziest” updates ever, as it actually updates space.
“No Man’s Sky is often referred to as ‘a Space Game,’ it’s a huge part of our game, but we’ve never really updated space since release,” Murray said. “In most sci-fi games, space is just an empty void. With Cosmos we wondered - can we make space feel truly alive? And could we make space feel more like home? What if you could own a Space Station? If you could build star bases, and create alliances with other players.”
Additions include a Star Map, huge space hulks, new space outposts, bio-wrecks, asteroid belts, free-floating orbital bases, space station ownership (one of the most requested features since launch), alliances, and — finally — the ability to actually reach the star at the center of players’ own star system.
Hello Games has launched an expedition alongside the Cosmos update, called Our Journey Continues! It includes milestones that represent one of the 40 major updates since No Man’s Sky launched in 2016. “It is like a museum of each update, unlocking the features of each update as we added them, along with a spacelog of interesting facts and developers commentary for each update,” Murray explained. “It’s been a real joy to revisit some of those moments for us.”
