No Man’s Sky Unveils Expansive ‘Voyagers’ Update: A New Era for Custom Ship Building
Hello Games has recently launched a significant and complimentary update for No Man’s Sky, known as the Voyagers update, coinciding with version 6.0 of the game. Originally introduced in 2016 on PC and PS4, this title has undergone remarkable transformation over the years.
Revolutionary Ship Building Features
One of the standout features of this latest update is the complete overhaul of the ship building mechanics. Players now have the ability to construct entirely customized ships, which can be explored from within. This innovative addition allows users to decorate various rooms, invite friends and fellow explorers, and leap into space from these personalized vessels to enjoy the grandeur of the universe.
Continued Commitment to Updates
Following the recent Nintendo Switch 2 release, Hello Games founder Sean Murray has expressed the studio’s dedication to ongoing enhancements for No Man’s Sky. With the release of Voyagers, this marks the 39th named update since the game’s ambitious debut. In a recent press release, Murray reflected on the journey of the game, stating, “I can’t believe it’s been just over nine years since No Man’s Sky first launched.”Many players share the sentiment given the game’s evolution over the years.
Introducing Corvettes and Personalized Gameplay
In detailing the new features of Voyagers, Murray introduced players to the concept of ‘Corvettes’—large ships featuring customizable components such as hulls, wings, landing gear, and more. Each ship allows for real interiors, including essential spaces like med-bays, sleeping quarters, war rooms, and teleporters.“Decorating it with your friends gives you a space that you share together, ”he elaborates.“Whether it’s a brightly colored tiny explorer or a colossal dark metallic warship, it allows you to express your personality.”
Enhanced Combat and Operational Capabilities
Players will discover additional functionalities that can greatly enhance their personalized ships. For example, equipping larger weapons on a Corvette increases its firepower. Players can also add sleeping quarters and a mission radar to prepare for adventures with friends. Incorporating a teleporter results in a dynamic team experience, while simply having a window can create memorable moments as the ship traverses the cosmos at warp speed.
Future Prospects: Light No Fire
For fans looking forward to upcoming projects, Murray mentioned that the technology being developed for No Man’s Sky is also intended for Light No Fire, a promising new title from Hello Games. Unlike No Man’s Sky, which invites exploration of an entire universe, Light No Fire will challenge players to navigate a singular, meticulously designed Earth-sized planet— heralding a novel approach to gameplay.
Acknowledgments and Availability
Murray concluded by expressing his gratitude for the community’s support, highlighting that in the last year, players have received several substantial updates, including Worlds Part I, Worlds Part II, and now Voyagers.“Many thanks for any support you continue to provide our little game. It really helps us continue to do what we do, ” he remarked.
The Voyagers update is now accessible to players across all platforms, promising even more adventures and discoveries in the expansive universe of No Man’s Sky.
