On January 29, 2025, the founder of Hello Games, Sean Murray, revealed the newest installment in the open-world exploration survival game, No Man’s Sky, which can be played on consoles, PCs, and Xbox Game Pass. This update is called The Worlds Part II and serves as a sequel to 2024’s Worlds update, with Murray claiming it to be the largest update the game has ever had.

In a recent Deep Dive video on their YouTube channel and an official announcement post, Murray revealed that this recent update enables the team to explore cutting-edge technology within their engine’s capabilities. A sneak peek at some of the new content, characteristics, and additional elements featured in the Worlds II update was also provided. The details of these updates can be found in the most recent patch notes.

As per Murray’s statement, the Worlds II update introduces “billions of newly discovered solar systems and trillions of planets, while maintaining the aspects that players adore about the game.” In this expansion, the developers are incorporating diverse landscapes, such as towering mountain ranges, deep canyons, and distinctive features hitherto unimaginable due to the advanced engine technology they’re employing for their upcoming title, Light No More.

A fresh incorporation includes colossal gas planets, and according to Murray, these behemoths are “extraordinary, ten times larger than our largest planet. The prospect of investigating such titans, with immense storms sweeping over their surfaces, is nothing short of awe-inspiring.

This innovative engine technology facilitates the creation of novel exoplanets shrouded in water, each boasting distinctive ecosystems and oceans, some even extending multiple kilometers deep. This expansion opens up underwater gameplay experiences, where players dive into these vast oceans to uncover exotic lifeforms and intriguing characteristics such as the creation of ripples and foam when spaceships glide above them.

This technology creates surfaces that are incredibly realistic and mirrors the dynamic nature of volumetric clouds and expansive night skies, resulting in breathtaking photos using Photo Mode. Additionally, this update introduces a novel lighting system with new caustics, light shafts, and as you delve deeper, it becomes progressively darker. On land, these shadows bring out intricate details, while underwater exploration can be eerie when encountering any life forms lurking in the depths of the water.

Ultimately, fresh gameplay elements will offer players the ultimate chance to interact with these recent updates and enhancements. This includes a massive quest that connects various storylines we’ve been developing for years, along with an expedition that showcases all our new worlds, boasting some remarkable rewards.
