In the spirit of Halloween, the No Man’s Sky development team has delivered a spine-chilling surprise for players on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation VR. After a serene update featuring fishing, the new update, The Cursed, is set to deliver a much darker and eerie experience, shaking up the peaceful gameplay with unsettling and mysterious challenges. Check out more details below.
New No Man’s Sky Update – The Cursed is Now Live
This new update will introduce a strange, disorienting gameplay event set in a twilight universe where time itself becomes unstable. Players will have to navigate through this ever-shifting world, battling ghostly forces and hearing haunting voices from other realities.
Players will make use of the Boundary Herald Starship, a striking Giger-inspired flying saucer to survive in this unsettling realm. Alongside this new starship, players’ exosuits will feature an Anomaly Suppressor, a vital tool that helps maintain the stability of reality. These haunted environments are inhabited by spectral anomalies, which are ghostly beings. Some may attack with a ferocity never seen in No Man’s Sky, while others may just watch.
Another novel feature in The Cursed is that players are unable to switch between star systems using hyperdrive technology. Instead, they have to navigate the galaxy with caution using the ancient portal network.
To make things good, the game will offer players exclusive rewards such as a Horror Exosuit customization reminiscent of Cthulhu, bioluminescent pets, and the ultimate prize: the UFO-like Boundary Herald Starship. These limited-time rewards will only be available during this two-week event.
The Cursed is the sixth major update for No Man’s Sky this year and it is now live for all PC, Xbox and PlayStation players for free. The developers have hinted at even more surprises in the coming weeks, including an update specifically designed to take full advantage of the PlayStation 5 Pro’s power.
