Hello Everyone!
2024 has been another impactful year for No Man’s Sky, with the team pouring so much love into every update. OMEGA, ORBITAL, WORLDS PART I and AQUARIUS added breadth and depth to so many areas of the universe - from a complete overhaul of the expedition system, starship customisation, elaborate new space stations, new planetary biomes, incredible rendering improvements to water and clouds, and so much more. A few weeks ago, we even introduced CROSS-SAVE between our huge number of supported platforms.
This year has also seen no fewer than five(!) community expeditions, bringing Travellers together in a certain corner of the universe to experience a themed event and work together to complete unique challenges and earn limited-time exclusive rewards.
We know that our players have busy lives, and know more than most that there are other games to play. That’s why, for the last couple of years, it has become customary for the No Man’s Sky team to re-run the expeditions from that year over the holiday period when leisure time is more plentiful, and in a “reduxed” form such that they can be completed and rewards unlocked with relative ease.
We will be re-running this year’s expeditions over two-week intervals from Thanksgiving weekend through December and January.
Omega: 27th Nov - 11th Dec
Answer the call of the universe in the Omega expedition. Explore, build, fight, and more through a diverse set of milestones, and unpick the threads of a mystery involving the past, the present, and what could be.
Adrift: 11th Dec - 25th Dec
Alone in an empty universe, the Adrift Expedition redefines what it means to survive among the stars. Communications from other Travellers are consumed by static, and in a reality devoid of other lifeforms, there are no shops, no trading, no shortcuts and no help, providing a very different survival experience.
Liquidators: 25th Dec - 8th Jan
Engage in a galactic bug hunt in this high-paced combat expedition, full of custom-balanced swarm combat. A vile brood is spreading corruption across the universe – join the Liquidator Vanguard to do your part and purge the rot from the stars!
Aquarius: 8th Jan - 22nd Jan
Go on a quest across the galaxy to catch fish, gather stories, and think about the one that got away. Find your perfect waterside spot and cast off, or venture into the ocean on your deployable Exo-Skiff. Craft specialist bait, establish a fish farm, cook seafood, and more.
The Cursed: 22nd Jan - 5th Feb
Fight to keep a grip on reality while haunted by visions and voices from another dimension. In this twilight realm, straddling the boundary between one reality and the next, there is no access to hyperdrive technology, and interstellar travel can only take place via the ancient portal network. Who do the haunting voices belong to, where are they coming from, and are they to be trusted?
These re-runs present another opportunity not only to experience these community events, but also to earn any missed rewards! Rewards for the 2024 expeditions include exclusive sets of Atlas, deep sea, and bug-themed customisations, the Iron Vulture, Starborn Runner, and Boundary Herald starships, a ghostly frigate, and so much more!
