The game that will never die, short of the universe’s heat-demise, No Man’s Sky continues ever onwards. Today developers Hello Games have announced and released a new expedition and 3.90 patch, named Leviathan. As well as various bug fixes and optimizations on several platforms, it brings a new rogue-like expedition for players to attempt and complete. This includes community-level challenges that will give all players a buff if enough folks are playing the expedition.
Here’s the new trailer:

The official patch notes and announcement post make mention of all the cool bits and bobs inside, including new gear, ships, and so on. It also explains the distributed multiplayer where additional efforts can be made to help fellow players the world over by investigating things within the time loop that forms the central conceit.
It’s yet another big update – though not as major as recent expansions – for the long-suffering but now much-loved game. We’re six years since its initial release and the team at Hello don’t seem to be remotely slowing down when it comes to development on their flagship. The game gets five-figure concurrent player numbers on Steam every day, and at only $30 to pick up is fairly easy to jump into. They’re maintaining a mostly-positive review rating since passing the barrier from Mixed in the past year.
Another major update is doubtlessly on the way, with game director Sean Murray saying on Twitter that they have plenty of plans left in the tank.
