NO MAN'S SKY: Free update coming Thursday
Hello Games, the developer of No Man's Sky, unveiled a new updated titled "Vision" slated for a Nov. 22 release.
The update goes live Thursday which will be available for Steam, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles. The new update follows "The Abyss" update which was released last month. The previous brought major changes to No Man's Sky's vast underwater environments.
"Visions" will encourage players to return to the surface and explore new biomes and planets, all in a reimagined colour palette.
New Worlds: No Man's Sky's "Visions" update greatly improves the variety and diversity of planet surfaces with millions of previously dead planets now bursting with life. Players can find mysterious artefacts on alien planets and collect them as mementos or display as trophies in their planetary base.
Bizarre New Creatures: "Visions" will introduce players to new strange and curious creatures found among the stars, waiting to be discovered for the very first time. Predatory fauna and deadly flora including carnivorous trap plants wait to ensnare unsuspecting travelers and reward the cautious.
Global Community Missions: A new community research mission will allow players to share their progress as they work towards a common goal. Players can discover the "Visions" universe together and unlock the Eye of the Korvax helmet, as well as other emotes and building parts.
More to Discover and More Variety: "Visions" will bring more variety to No Man's Sky as the universe has become more alien, vibrant and exciting for players to explore. Atmospherics and skies have been improved and rainbows added to the range of in-game weather effects, enabling more unique worlds. Players are invited to unleash their inner archaeologist and explore the galaxy for planets containing the bones of ancient alien lifeforms. Travelers can unearth the remains of fallen satellites to salvage for parts but risk drawing the attention of a new threat and danger – corrupted sentinel drones. Players who can endure and survive the most extreme of weather in No Man's Sky may also be rewarded with previous crystal treasures that only light up in the worst of storms.

ABOUT NO MAN'S SKY
Inspired by the adventure and imagination that we love from classic science-fiction, No Man's Sky presents you with a galaxy to explore, filled with unique planets and lifeforms, constant danger and action.
In No Man's Sky, every star is the light of a distant sun, each orbited by planets filled with life, and you can go to any of them you choose. Fly smoothly from deep space to planetary surfaces, with no loading screens, and no limits. In this infinite procedurally generated universe, you'll discover places and creatures that no other players have seen before – and perhaps never will again.
No Man's Sky is now available on all major platforms, including PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, with the recently released Xbox retail version published by 505 Games.
