Even nine years after its troublesome release on PS4, Hello Games continues to support its massive survival game, No Man’s Sky. Just in time for Halloween, the developer is releasing its next update today, titled Breach, which brings even more new free content to the ever-expanding game.
No Man’s Sky Breach update features new free content
The new Breach Expedition in the No Man’s Sky update has players traversing to a desolate and abandoned universe, where they can scavenge destroyed corvette ships for new parts. This includes new vertical parts, as well as Atlas-themed modules. The “jewel” of these wreckages is the Fireship Arcadia, which players will learn more about as they journey through the new Expedition.
“The spooky Breach Expedition embraces the darker side of the universe and will also lure the bravest Travellers towards the ominous and exotic purple-star solar systems which players first glimpsed in Worlds Part II back in January,” reads a description of the new Expedition. “The planets in these systems are particularly foreboding with their deep, abyssal oceans, unearthly entities and the notoriously imposing and volatile gas giants.”
Along with the new corvette modules coming to the No Man’s Sky Breach update are quality of life improvements, new rewards, and more. Check out the full patch notes below.
