Hello Games has just released the Worlds Part II update for No Man’s Sky, at no additional cost. This extensive expansion brings a wealth of new features, gameplay improvements, and narrative content, redefining exploration within the game’s vast universe.
The update introduces billions of new star systems and trillions of procedurally generated planets. Among these are towering gas giants, which dwarf existing planets, creating dramatic landscapes. Additionally, players can now explore all-new water planets featuring deep biomes and expansive oceans.
Enhanced Water and Lighting Technology
Water physics have been overhauled, making waves, ripples, and foams respond to player actions. The updated lighting system now features realistic caustics, shafts of light, and dynamic shadows both underwater and on dry land.
Terrain Overhaul and New Missions
Innovative terrain generation technology has made it possible to create vast mountain ranges and deep canyons. These new features enhance the sense of scale and wonder as players explore uncharted planets.
Worlds Part II ties up long-standing narrative threads, including a mission centered on the mysteries of gas giant planets. Players can also participate in a guided expedition showcasing the update’s highlights, with rewards such as a hybrid living starship and jet fighter.
Twitch Drops Campaign
To celebrate the update, a Twitch Drops event will run from January 30 to February 3. Viewers can earn exclusive rewards by tuning in to participating streamers on Twitch.
