No Man’s Sky Halloween update released today

No Man’s Sky Halloween update released today

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must admit that No Man’s Sky has consistently impressed me with each new update they roll out. The “The Cursed” update, focusing on Halloween, seems to be no exception. With its eerie atmosphere and spooky rewards, it’s like stepping into a Lovecraftian dreamscape!


Greetings! Once again, Hello Games announces an update for the game No Man’s Sky, this time themed around Halloween, titled “The Cursed” and set to release today.

In September, the game received an update that introduced fishing, continuing from Worlds Part I. Hello Games describes this latest event as “The Cursed,” a strange and eerie in-game occurrence where players must struggle to maintain their sanity amid visions and voices from another realm. This new version also brings a variety of spooky rewards exclusive to Halloween, such as an exosuit customization resembling Cthulhu, bioluminescent pets, and the ultimate prize, the Boundary Herald Starship, which appears UFO-like and is obtained from the collapse of reality.


 

In a world that’s half shadow and half light, The Cursed navigates the thin line separating one dimension from another. Time here can change suddenly, with day turning into night in a dizzying spin. The Boundary StarShip serves as your sanctuary amidst this eerie universe. Our inaugural spaceship, it’s an aesthetically pleasing H.R. Giger-inspired spiral of tubes, pipes, and engines.

To safeguard themselves, players need to shield themselves from the eroding barriers of reality. The typical hazard protection in an exosuit has been swapped out for a specialized Anomaly Shield – keeping this active is crucial for staying alive as the universe starts to disintegrate.

In their journey through these eerie realms, players might stumble upon ghostly entities that roam the borders. On occasion, these spectral apparitions merely watch, but other times they can become quite aggressive… These interactions introduce players to new formidable enemies and boss fights, a scale unmatched in No Man’s Sky until now.

For travellers, it means they won’t be able to utilize hyperdrive tech for swift transitions between stellar systems; instead, they must meticulously plan their journeys and make use of the ancient network of portals for interstellar travel.

Eerily, spectral whispers seem to emanate from another realm, offering insights, cryptic diagrams, and a sense of the unknown. The task for the players is to discern the identities behind these voices, their origins, and whether or not they can rely on them…

I’m thrilled to announce that “No Man’s Sky: The Cursed” is about to embark on an exciting journey! Today, October 23rd, a major update is being released. Don’t miss out – dive into the details by reading the full blog post right here.

No Man’s Sky is out now for PC, Switch, Xbox, and PlayStation.
