No Man's Sky update 5.0, dubbed Worlds Part 1, launched today following some cryptic teases from Hello Games boss Sean Murray. Both a refreshed universe and a new combat-focused expedition await space explorers, but what's really stuck in my mind is the way the 5.0 update revisits and reinforces the ethos underpinning No Man's Sky's now-legendary comeback, which has turned a once-lonely universe into one of today's most colorful and beloved survival games.
"Eight years in on this journey and we still want to do big things, and I think we’re adding things the community has almost given up hope on ever happening," Murray says in a press release. "It’s not just about new cosmetics for us, we want to really impact No Man’s Sky."
