Hello Games founder Sean Murray has teased another imminent content drop forNo Man’s Skyin a post on Twitter, once again hyping up the game’s community not even a week after the game was released for the Mac. TheNo Man’s Skyprogrammer had hinted towards a “surprise” for fans to look forward to when the Mac version was revealed at the start of June, though fans aren’t yet sure whether the mysterious emoji tweet is teasing an expedition or a fully-fledged content update.It’s become something of a tradition at this point for Murray’s emoji tweets to serve as a sign of an incoming update, and the often cryptic use of emoticons never fails to birthspeculation among theNo Man’s Skycommunity. The emoji used in the buildup to an update release is generally relevant to the focus of the update itself, but withNo Man’s Skyhaving introduced anything from base building overhauls to tameable space whales over the past few years, it’s difficult to predict what could come to the game next. There’s also the matter of expeditions, limited-time community challenges that allow players to work together and earn exclusive cosmetic rewards.RELATED:No Man’s Sky Player Finds Possibly the Smallest Creature in the GameThough it’s impossible at this point to tell ifNo Man’s Skyfans should look forward to a new expeditionor an update more focused on delivering new content, a recent tweet from Murray hints at an imminent content drop one way or the other. This time, theNo Man’s Skycreator has used a brain emoji as the sole subject of his tweet, alluding to an incoming release which is likely the same “surprise” that he mentioned in a separate tweet earlier on. While fans are already debating over what to expect, it’s worth noting that Murray has previously clarified that expeditions are always released alongside planned updates, rather than instead of them.
With that in mind, it wouldn’t be outrageous for fans to expect another named update to release at some point over the coming week, though the scale of such an update would be impossible to predict. While theNo Man’s Skycommunity has a seemingly endless list of concepts they’d love to see added to the game someday, many players have reported consistent crashes and performance issues during gameplay, particularly on last-gen consoles and theNintendo Switch version ofNo Man’s Sky. Some of these issues have impacted players so severely that they’ve had to restart their consoles multiple times every hour.
Theprocedurally generated universe ofNo Man’s Skyundoubtedly provides a canvas of limitless potential, and the small team behind the game has already pushed out an admirable wealth of content so far this year. While fans will undoubtedly learn more about the incoming update soon enough, Murray has claimed that the game has a busy roadmap planned out for the year ahead, soNo Man’s Skyplayers will certainly have a lot more to look forward to throughout 2023.
No Man’s Skyis available on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
