No Man’s Sky Is Getting a Significant Update Set to Introduce New Worlds

No Man’s Sky debuted on the PlayStation 4 worldwide as a timed-exclusive around 4 years ago. While the game initially disappointed, a large number of people had pre-ordered it, meaning it became a commercial success and also got a large community.

And now, four years after the game’s release, Sean Murray, the founder of Hello Games has announced that the studio is launching a new update known as “Origins” on PS4 and Xbox. In the official announcement, Murray says,

“How do you radically change a universe where so many have made their homes, built bases, named, and discovered? Our solution is to birth entirely new planets into the universe, with vistas never possible before. Fly your Starship through towering mountains and epic chasms vastly larger than ever.”

No Man’s Sky incorporates multiple gameplay types, like exploration, survival, combat, and trading. Devs have been updating the game on a regular basis to keep adding new worlds and areas to explore. This year’s update got the game living ships, mechs, abandoned freighters, and cross-platform play. With Origins, the game will get a significant buff to its current gameplay content.

The Origins update will introduce new worlds, complete with never seen before flora and fauna.

Murray goes on to explain that the core of NMS gameplay has not changed with this update, which is to embark on a journey of exploration and discovery. “It is only fitting, therefore, that, for our major update of the year, and in the lineage of the larger annual updates of Atlas Rises (2017), Next (2018) and Beyond, we return to that core principle.”

He says that this update marks a major moment in the journey of the game.

NMS has been one of the best exploration/action/survival titles out there, and the game still never ceases to amaze players, although it has been a long time since its release.
