If the No Man’s Sky universe wasn’t colourful for you then you are in luck – the free Visions update will ensure that millions of previously dead planets will burst in to life.
Due to hit No Man’s Sky on Xbox One, PS4 and PC come November 22nd 2018, the Visions update will encourage you to return to the surfaces of many planets once more, with new biomes and planets all hit with a reimagined colour palette.
This update will bring many enhancements to No Man’s Sky with updates to the planets allowing you the chance to collect gleaming mementos, the opportunity to meet brand new creatures and to take part in new community missions.
Full details of how things will pan out are below – needless to say, it looks like Visions will be pushing the galactic boundaries once more…
- New Worlds: No Man’s Sky’s “Visions” update greatly improves the variety and diversity of planet surfaces with millions of previously dead planets now bursting with life. Players can find mysterious artefacts on alien planets and collect them as mementos or display as trophies in their planetary base.
- Bizarre New Creatures: “Visions” will introduce players to new strange and curious creatures found among the stars, waiting to be discovered for the very first time. Predatory fauna and deadly flora including carnivorous trap plants wait to ensnare unsuspecting travellers and reward the cautious.
- Global Community Missions: A new community research mission will allow players to share their progress as they work towards a common goal. Players can discover the “Visions” universe together and unlock the Eye of the Korvax helmet, as well as other emotes and building parts.
- More to Discover and More Variety: “Visions” will bring more variety to No Man’s Sky as the universe has become more alien, vibrant and exciting for players to explore. Atmospherics and skies have been improved and rainbows added to the range of in-game weather effects, enabling more unique worlds. Players are invited to unleash their inner archaeologist and explore the galaxy for planets containing the bones of ancient alien lifeforms. Travellers can unearth the remains of fallen satellites to salvage for parts but risk drawing the attention of a new threat and danger – corrupted sentinel drones. Players who can endure and survive the most extreme of weather in No Man’s Sky may also be rewarded with previous crystal treasures that only light up in the worst of storms.
If you’re after adventure and have got an imagination which is getting out of control, then No Man’s Sky will sort you out. Our full review will happily tells you exactly how things work out on Xbox One. Although if we’re honest, the sheer amount of updated content that has been hitting the game has seen it come on leaps and bounds again.
