Building castles in the sky.

No Man's Sky, the ambitious open-space exploration game in a procedurally-generated universe, just received a massive update appropriately named NEXT.

It brings a whole bunch of changes and additions across the board, most notably:

- Option to switch between first and third person view at will
- Visual upgrades to ships, NPCs, buildings, terrain textures, space vistas - pretty much everything
- You can now build far more complex bases anywhere on the planet
- Build your own fleet, upgrade it, and send it out or keep it close while exploring a system

The multiplayer element of NEXT is not yet included in the DRM-free edition of the game. Read more about the delay below:


"[i]From launch, the DRM-free edition of No Man's Sky will include all single-player content introduced by NEXT: third-person mode, upgraded visuals, better base building, player customization, and more.

However the multiplayer component will not be ready at launch; we expect it to be released later this year as full multiplayer parity remains in the pipeline.

For a small, independent studio, developing the feature across multiple platforms is a hugely ambitious and technical challenge which resulted in this delayed release. Hello Games is however joining forces with GOG.COM to introduce full multiplayer via the GOG Galaxy platform.

We appreciate your immense support and patience.

OK, I'm cool with this. At least they have confirmed they are working on it, and we will have multiplayer at some point. Not all that fussed about multiplayer anyway, it's more of a nice to have. By nice to have, I do want it though GOG and HG!

Seriously, well done HG, this is incredible work! Can't wait to see what the future brings!

<Takes off hat to GoG and HG>

EDIT: I really don't care for multiplayer but, might just buy it on Steam too just because...reasons.

I'm not blaming GoG or Hello Games for this. Im blaming the rest of the platforms for not wanting to play well with anyone outside their own groups. It would be much easier to have Multiplayer if everyone was able to use the same system. But no, they are all diffrent..

I'm livid.
Can we at least be offered Steam keys, HG? :/

(I also find it hilarious that my friends on Steam, who bashed the game and me for liking it... are now playing MP together. While I can't. Hahahah. :| )

Yeah they also confirmed we'd have the orbs multiplayer from Atlas.

That never happened.

Need to contact Hello Games directly about that, GOG can only offer what Hello Games gives them.

Wow, people really like shooting the messenger when it's the developers fault for not having MP ready on release.

WHAT MESSAGE? Gog has been SILENT on this whole topic since it was announced. If they had told people ahead of time, instead of release day when everyone was hyped to start playing, maybe the feedback wouldn't have been so harsh. And you can't blame that on HG.

Because at the end of the day it doesn't really matter, does it? Put yourself in their shoes. They bought a game here because they expected the same treatment. Instead they got shafted out of features that they're friends over at Steam are experiencing just fine at this moment.

It isn't even just this game. Multiple games on GOG are crippled compared to their Steam version. It's easily one of GOG's largest issues.

Yet another reason I will never purchase through GoG again, this was the first and only purchase on this platform. People can say its not GoG's fault all they want I dont care whose fault it is, all i know is I cant play multiplayer because of DRM free. GoG is the inferior platform, thankfully i only own 1 game on it.
