No Man’s Sky: Waypoint Update Is the Game’s ‘Biggest Generational Jump So Far’
Hello Games has announced that No Man’s Sky’s 4.0 update, called Waypoint, will be released today, and said it is likely to be the game’s “biggest generational jump yet.”
The 21st major update brings both design and balance overhauls and hundreds of quality of life improvements as Hello Games attempts to integrate all previous content into a more cohesive gameplay experience. .
An example of this is the inventory system, where the level caps for players, ships and weapons have been “hugely increased”. Milestones have also been updated, with a new information portal making it easier for returning players to select his No Man’s Sky thanks to an overview of objectives and progress.
A new gameplay mode has also been added. Relax mode allows players to enjoy the game more as an exploration or sandbox game than pure survival. However, it also adds customizable controls for survival, crafting, and combat, allowing players to shape the experience to suit their playstyle.
Given that Waypoint is also a full 4.0 step-up to No Man’s Sky, Hello Games said it was important not only to improve what was already in the game, but also to lay the foundation for the future. .
“A Leap from Version 3.0 Moving to 4.0 is probably the biggest generation jump ever. It’s an exciting moment and shows a solid foundation for future updates.
“As we intend to continue, No Man’s Sky will be released to Switch in our first major update. Many of our changes will make No Man’s Sky more pick-up for new and returning players. It’s no coincidence that our focus is on being playable: that mobile platform.”
Nintendo Switch version also released Today, October 7th. Hello Games founder Sean Murray said in June: It’s “perfectly natural, but also quite improbable.”because No Man’s Sky’s procedural generation meant the Switch port was “a true moonshot for our small team.”
