UK developer Hello Games continues to surprise on a regular basis when it comes to the cadence of No Man's Sky updates.
Just a few days ago, the studio launched the native MacOS version of the game. Today, the studio announced the release of the tenth No Man's Sky Expedition, which they reckon is completely different from the previous ones.
Called Singularity, it'll focus on AI corruption and robotic uprisings, which Hello Games admits is a topic strangely absent from a sci-fi game up to this point. The developers said Singularity would evolve over a much longer narrative arc of five weeks. It'll begin with players investigating 'robot heads' that are dropping clues throughout the galaxy.
They'll collaborate with Polo and Nada to discover what's behind this space anomaly. Additionally, players will be making a choice at the end of the Singularity Expedition, and the decision will have consequences that will develop in the future of No Man's Sky story. Of course, participating in the Expedition will unlock many cool rewards, such as a new robotic character customization set.
No Man's Sky was hugely hyped before launch, only to provoke disappointment on day one in both critics and fans. At some point, the game was even investigated by the United Kingdom's advertising authorities for potential false advertising. However, the folks at Hello Games rolled up their proverbial sleeves and kept pumping new features and content at an incredible pace.
The game is now completely VR compatible, supports various upscalers (DLSS, FSR 2, etc.) on PC, is out on Nintendo Switch (with cross-play), not to mention the many gameplay features and mechanics introduced in the last six years or so. It doesn't look like Hello Games will be done adding more to No Man's Sky any time soon, either, even though the studio is also working on a new ambitious secret project, as revealed in September 2020 by studio founder Sean Murray.
