Hello Games have just announced a brand new update for No Man’s Sky. This is the biggest update we have seen for the game and it includes a massive amount of content.
Titled the Path Finder update this new addition to No Man’s Sky builds upon the game’s foundations and gives the title a much needed upgrade.
One of the most exciting elements of the update for me has to be the new addition of land vehicles. There are 3 types of land vehicle included in the update and will make planetary transversal so much easier. There will be dozens of new tech upgrades, ship and weapon classes and even a brand new permadeath mode.
You can check out a full list of what the Path Finder update includes below. If you haven’t got No Man’s Sky yet you can also grab a massive 40% off the game at Green Man Gaming as of tomorrow (9th of March 2017). Here is what the Path Finder Update includes:
