Summary
Fans ofNo Man’s Skyhave previously been told to expect a particularly big year ahead for the game, and creator Sean Murray has already begun teasing the release of the title’s first content drop of 2024 with another mysterious post on social media. While the game has enjoyed dozens of free major updates since its controversial release in 2016,No Man’s Skysaw another big year in 2023 with the Interceptor update as well as a full set of new expeditions for players to embark on.
No Man’s Sky’s plethora of significant and completely free updateshave evolved the game far beyond its original vision in many ways, and has cemented it as one of the most significant redemption stories in gaming history. Even after 7 years of consistent support, the game’s developers at Hello Games are showing no signs of stopping the flow of additions toNo Man’s Sky. Some fans were worried that the announcement ofLight No Fire,Hello Games' next major project,meant that work onNo Man’s Skywas coming to an end, but founder and developer Sean Murray has assured the community thatNo Man’s Skywill continue to receive new content over the coming years.
With Murray himself claiming that 2024 will be one of thebiggest years forNo Man’s Skyso far, it seems like the game’s first update of the year is already close at hand. A recent tweet from Sean Murray’s personal Twitter account has begun stirring up hype within the community, with the mysterious post consisting of just a single character - the omega symbol. VeteranNo Man’s Skyfans will know that Murray typically shares similar cryptic posts to tease the themes of upcoming updates, and such posts almost always suggest that the release of a new update is imminent.
The release ofNo Man’s Sky’s next major update in the very near future seems all the more likely when considering that the game’s internal branch was updated just days ago, suggesting that a new version of the game is in the works and will soon be pushed out to the public. While not confirmed, rumors circulating around the game’s community point towards the next update including a newexpedition forNo Man’s Skyas well.
What to Expect From No Man’s Sky in 2024
In addition tothe reveal ofLight No Fire, Hello Games' presentation at The Game Awards back in December also included a short video celebrating 7 years ofNo Man’s Sky, complete with a tease of what content can be expected for the game throughout the year ahead. While it’s not yet certain what features the game’s next update might bring, fans have already gotten a look at new space station designs which are expected to be implemented into the game at some point this year.

WHERE TO PLAY
Lose yourself in a vast sci-fi odyssey as you explore a near-infinite, procedurally generated universe. Set out from the edge of the Euclid galaxy and carve out your own interstellar existence in a vast universe teeming with life, danger and near-endless mystery. No Man’s Sky is a hugely-ambitious, heavily-stylised, sci-fi adventure that spans entire galaxies all brought to life with procedural generation. Travel through an endless array of increasingly diverse and dangerous star systems, prospecting for rare materials, trading with alien life, populate planets and searching for clues to the meaning of the universe’s mysterious existence. How you survive is up to you. Assemble entire fleets of dreadnought-class freighters and tear across the universe; build sprawling habitable bases across planet surfaces, beneath the ground or under the ocean; buy and upgrade your own weapons and star ships and do battle with outlaw space pirates, hostile alien fauna or the mysterious sentinel fleets. The universe is yours to explore - trillions upon trillions of planets, waiting to be discovered.
