Hello Games continues its remarkable journey of evolving No Man’s Sky with the release of the groundbreaking Voyagers update. Arriving just months after its Switch 2 enhancement, this substantial patch pushes the boundaries of space exploration by introducing an entirely new class of vessel: the “Corvette.”
Voyagers: A Game-Changing 6.0 Update
Marked as version 6.0, the Voyagers update signifies a monumental leap for the title, nearly nine years after its initial launch in 2016. While its debut was met with mixed reactions, Hello Games has diligently built a universe of content, and Voyagers stands as another testament to their commitment. This latest addition redefines player interaction with the cosmos, making your spaceship more than just a means of transport—it’s now a customizable, living, breathing base.
Corvettes: Buildings with Wings for Ultimate Space Living
At the heart of Voyagers are the new Corvette spaceships. Sean Murray, lead at Hello Games, describes these vessels as “huge ships with hulls, wings, landing gear, cockpits, engine parts, thrusters and more – arranged to your own unique sci-fi design.” Essentially, Corvettes are interactive, mobile strongholds, akin to “buildings with wings.”
Players can delve into a rich interior, designing and decorating spaces that include:
- Med-bays
- Sleeping quarters
- War rooms
- Radars
- Teleporters
These fully realized interiors offer a shared social space, allowing players to decorate with friends, creating a personalized mobile base that accompanies them across the galaxy.
Customization and Combat Readiness
Beyond aesthetics, Corvettes are engineered for functionality. Players can bolster their firepower by adding larger weapons, preparing for any cosmic skirmish. Murray explains the versatile customization: “Add sleeping quarters and a mission radar, and you are ready to welcome a crew of friends on board. Add a mission radar, and you are ready to adventure. A teleporter and you have an away team.” This modular design encourages players to tailor their Corvettes for exploration, combat, or social gatherings, creating a truly unique vessel.
Pushing Boundaries: Spacewalks and Core Reworks
The Voyagers update introduces features that elevate the immersion factor to unprecedented levels. Imagine being able to “pop the hatch and spacewalk or skydive from one ship to the other.” This level of seamless interaction highlights the technical ambition behind the update. In fact, such complex mechanics required a fundamental overhaul: “almost every part of the game has had to be reworked to accommodate” Voyagers, according to Murray.
A Glimpse into the Future: Light No Fire
Intriguingly, the advancements made for Voyagers extend beyond No Man’s Sky. Sean Murray revealed that “much of the technology we’re introducing with Voyagers is shared with our next game, Light No Fire.” This upcoming title from Hello Games promises an “Earth-sized” planet with “real oceans to traverse, needing large boats and crews,” hinting at the scale and innovation players can expect. The continuous innovation in No Man’s Sky clearly serves as a development incubator for their ambitious future projects.
The Voyagers update solidifies No Man’s Sky‘s reputation as a pioneer in the space exploration and survival game genre, offering a depth of interaction and customization that continues to impress its dedicated community.
