When Hello Games first launched the procedurally generated space-based game no man’s sky, the developers promoted it as a galaxy that has a lot of life to discover and a lot of space to explore. However, for the game’s latest free update, players will have to explore a galaxy that is almost devoid of life.

in the post On the Xbox Wire website, Hello Games says its next Expedition update will be released later this week. It’s called Adrift, and it takes place in a kind of alternate universe compared to what players of no man’s sky encountered and explored in the past.

Hello Games says:

There is no life to be seen anywhere – no aliens, no space stations, no chain of shops and the usual buildings. Even though they all wake up on the same planet (the desolate, worm-infested Lepzok), you won’t be together in the usual sense. Communication is consumed by static and the boundaries between each of your personal realities have thickened.

Adrift Expedition will reportedly give No Man’s Sky players more of a challenge as they will have to rely more on their skills than ever just to survive in this empty universe.

The official website of the game There is more information about updating Adrift. Players will be able to earn new rewards during the event, and even access the new Iron Vulture spaceship. There will also be new starship customization options, new posters, stickers and titles, and an abandoned frigate that players can explore if they dare. The Adrift event will last for seven weeks.

Hello Games says it has even more updates for no man’s sky In the works for a sequel to 2024. In December 2023, the team announced a new, fantasy-themed game Lighter without fire. The team has not revealed when this game will be released.
