No Man's Sky Has More Updates Coming This Year

No Man’s Sky, the game that used to be the poster child for the validity of post-launch updates, and has now steered into the realm of “are you guys okay over there?”, has had six updates so far, with the last one adding organic spaceships and giant mechas to the game, and previous ones adding things like improved water bios, better multiplayer, and other phenomenal features. Needless to say, it’s managed to live up to its initial hype (even if it took a few years), but if you thought the folks at Hello Games would be satisfied with that, clearly you haven’t been paying attention.

In fact, according to a new blog post, they’ve only just started the madness.
 

“Sometimes it’s good to take a moment and look back on the most recent steps in the No Man’s Sky journey. Beginning with Synthesis, we planned to release more regularly, and it’s encouraging to look back on how this has unfolded so far. Over the past five months, we’ve released four substantial content updates – Synthesis, ByteBeat, the Living Ship and the Exo Mech – and we’re so happy with what each of those has added to the vision of the game.

In addition to these content updates, we are working up some more ambitious additions to the universe, and have so much more planned for 2020 for us to feel excited about.”

So yeah, not only are more big things on the way, they’re on the way this year. If any of these updates will finally cost money is still up in the air, but frankly I’m surprised none of them have yet: I’m not quite sure how else Hello Games will be able to support themselves as they continue to work on this frankly crazy game.

Oh, and they’re all working from home now. That’s nice.
