'No Man's Sky' Gets New 5.0 Version with Exciting Updates and Discount

TapTechNews July 18th news, 'No Man's Sky' is a well-known game that 'came back from disgrace'. When it was launched in 2016, it got a backlash due to 'excessive pre-marketing' but 'insufficient actual quality'. However, the game developer, HelloGames, didn't run away but silently updated the game until now, thus redeeming its reputation among game players.

Last night, the official of 'No Man's Sky' released the promotional video of the brand new 5.0 version, named 'Worlds Part One' (meaning there will be more content later), and this version is now online.

TapTechNews learned from the update announcement that this version welcomes brand new technologies, new plants, new animals and new gameplay, including some content inspired by 'Starship Troopers', and players will fight against the insect swarm together in the expedition, and the newly added mech has heavy armor and a cool flamethrower arm.

HelloGames official said: 'Six months ago, we announced 'No Fire Light'. In the past five years, we have learned a lot, and fed these experiences back into 'No Man's Sky'. For us, it's not just adding some new appearances, but really having a profound impact on 'No Man's Sky'.

The new water body technology can generate wave and reflection effects, and the ocean looks completely new. The feeling of ocean planets is completely different, and now spaceships can land on the water. Planets also have wind patterns, and waves will dynamically react to the weather. Probably the part I like the most in the game is still flying through the clouds into space. For us, the clouds are a unique challenge. You can see them from space, from the planet, and you can also fly through them. Our new cloud technology creates detailed and changeable skies and weather conditions, allowing you to see beautiful and diverse skies.

On the planetary surface, we added new volumetric and atmospheric effects. Rolling fog, rain, snowstorm, lava sparks, these combined with the wind and clouds, greatly changed the feeling of exploring the planet and added a lot of vitality. Sometimes, when a storm comes, you will see the waves roll and the clouds gather. The new wind, cloud, ocean and atmospheric effects combined bring an unparalleled experience.

In these new ecosystems, we added many new creatures for everyone to discover. We keep promoting the diversity that can be achieved. Not just increasing the quantity, we also hope to do something that has never been seen before. Of course, all these new creatures can become pets and mounts.

'No Man's Sky' is a game about exploration, so the appearance and feeling of the planets are very important, but we hope to add more action content on these planets with each update. The expedition has become an important part of the player's game experience. This time we made some content inspired by 'Starship Troopers' to take you to explore some very cool new planets. Everyone will fight against the insect swarm together, and the community will drive the progress. The newly added mech has heavy armor and a cool flamethrower arm, and you wil l definitely like it!

Besides, to celebrate this update, 'No Man's Sky' game has a new all-time low discount of 40% off. The price in the Steam China region is 175 yuan, 70 yuan for a limited time, and the discount ends on July 30th.
