No Man’s Sky received another substantial update with a bunch of new content, including a campaign. It introduces a new enemy faction that will require the entire player community to cooperate.
The trailer showcases the Swarm army invading the galaxy for malicious reasons, implying territorial dominance. What’s worse is that the Traveler’s soul is fragmented during the hostile invasion. The players will face the Swarmers in both explosive space combat and grounded shootouts on different planets. It’s also possible to receive exclusive items well-suited to the war against the Swarm, such as Direwasp Armor.
This new story encourages the Travellers to team up against the hostile aliens, clean up their corruption, and discover their mysterious purpose for invading. For a limited time, players can join one of three available teams that represent an essential piece of the Traveller’s soul: the sage, the royal, and the weaver. The community will still work together to fight off and analyze the Swarm, though the one team that fully completes the main objective will be celebrated in the Space Anomaly for all of eternity.
This new update also prioritized fixing numerous changes for improved space combat, optimized play, and fewer bugs. The game seemingly has enough room to grow with these updates as Hello Games continues to support its community with new experiences.
