No Man’s Sky’s 7th expedition, Leviathan. With this update comes roguelike time-loop gameplay and your very own space whale you can earn and add to your freighter fleet!
The 7th No Man’s Sky expedition, “Leviathan”, finds Travellers trapped in a time-loop curse suspected to trace back to a near-mythical space creature. Join the community effort to help recover memory fragments, lost remnants of previous loops, and liberate the universe in this unique rogue-like survival adventure. Jam-packed with rewards, including the WhaleStalker Cloak, Temporal Starship Trail and, the ultimate prize, the Leviathan itself, an imposing living frigate to add to your fleet.
This looks a very interesting Expedition… time to get back into NMS, I skipped the last few Expeditions for no reason whatsoever, but think I’ll defs do this one.
I am happy to report that @SIGSTART and I managed to finish Leviathan! Sig only died once when he learnt the hard way how much the Geology Cannon sucks (self-kill!), fortunately we were only 2 phases in so we managed to get him caught up again quickly. A glitch nearly killed me inside one of my bases, but I managed to save myself using my jetpack. Those low atmo frigates can fly right through buildings and mountains and yeet you off the edge of a cliff unexpectedly. Anyway, it is done, and I don’t miss Permadeath at all. Back to my main game I go! Yay!
The next big update for NMS, with a lot of cool freighter updates!

Dramatically expand your capital ship in update 3.94, ENDURANCE! Introducing deeper and more varied freighter base building , including exterior platforms and catwalks ; enhanced nebulae and deep space storms ; fleets of organic frigates ; and so much more!
I do not like the new inventory UI. I can’t see my whole general inventory on one screen any more because the tech inventory is taking up precious view space at the top. I shouldn’t have to scroll! Put tech back on it’s own screen!! Gahhh
NMS and Hello Games are one of the few scenarios where I want to give them money but they just won’t take it!! All these free updates and events and patches and expansions… LET ME PAY YOU FOR SOMETHING ALREADY. I’d even be cool with microtransactions for cosmetics or something, doesn’t even have to be functional stuff, but noooooooo, they have morals and standards and whatnot.
I love NMS. I really do.
I like it so much that the answer to the question about which fictional universe I’d like to live in would almost definitely be NMS.
