The Interceptor update is full of great new features and brings new worlds, threats, ships and and and.
No Man’s Sky sends you on a journey through almost infinite expanses – which are now a bit bigger. Whether this sentence is mathematically tenable? No idea, you’ll have to ask an expert. What we can tell you, however, are the most important new features in the Interceptor Update.
What’s in the new update?
The Interceptor Update is presented in under two minutes in the fresh gameplay trailer:
The most important innovations:
- Mysterious Threat: The Sentinels, the guardians of the No Man’s Sky universe, have fallen victim to a mysterious corruption. You can now explore new worlds infested by this corruption – and mine valuable crystals there.
- New Space Ships: You can expand your fleet with new Interceptor ships that use previously unseen technologies. If you’re more in the mood for space battles, take on the giant Sentinel ships.
- New Enemies: In addition to corrupted Sentinel drones, there are other new enemies lurking about, such as machine spiders with flamethrowers. Great.
- New VR features: Those who play No Man’s Sky on PSVR2 will now get more features and better interfaces
