No Man’s Sky Goes Full Horror in New 'Forsaken' Update

No Man's Sky remains popular more than a decade after its initial release, with the latest update, Forsaken, adding a spooky twist to the game. This update, available today, lets players explore the "darker side" of the game's universe by seeking out strange and haunted technology, biological horrors, and enigmatic traders. These traders can be found in spooky locations like derelict ships, abandoned freighters, dig sites on planets, or infested outposts.

Players can scavenge for unique items to trade for new biomechanical corvette modules, which will transform their ships into eerie Borg-like or Yuuzhan Vong vessels.

In addition to the creepy scavenging, Forsaken introduces new cockpits, unsettling ship interiors, and general game improvements. Players can now warp to nearby stars by locking onto a distant constellation, making travel easier. The game also adds postal missions, transforming players into delivery drivers across the galaxy. UI updates include a radial weapon selection menu and a minimal HUD mode, perfect for exploring the game's spooky corners.

The game's port to iPhone and iPad is also released, including all updates to date. Hello Games, the game's developer, continues to push boundaries with regular updates, showing no signs of slowing down as they plan for even more "craziness" in the future.
