Just yesterday, we reported on that upcoming No Man’s Sky update 1.3 which is said to bring a portal who knows where. Well, after being silent for quite some time, Hello Games has now penned a an update on the game’s official site to talk more about the upcoming title update.
No Man’s Sky portals explained
According to Hello Games, No Man’s Sky update 1.3 will be free for everyone, and will be out this week and will be called "Atlas Rises." It will focus on improving the central story of No Man’s Sky and the studio also revealed what the portals are for: it’ll let players quick travel between locations, which should make the quality of life better for players.
Here’s the rest of the note from Hello Games:
"We wanted to reach out and celebrate the devoted community that means so much to us. We launched Waking Titan to try to do that.
When we posted those cassettes we didn’t know what to expect. In the last eight weeks a quarter of a million players from across the globe (174 countries, to be precise!) have come together – united by a shared love of mystery and science fiction – to form the Citizen Science Division. You’ve travelled great distances both real and virtual, undertaken complex tasks, and explored the depths of simulation theory. New friendships have been forged, and a tight-knit community has been created. Most importantly a cute hamster has a new home.
You’ve become part of the No Man’s Sky origin story.
It’s been an honour to watch, but this is just the beginning. Whether you’ve followed Waking Titan or not, we welcome anyone to sign up to the Citizen Science Division, and to join us on the official CSD forums.
Our journey continues.
Thank you for this year. We hope you enjoy what comes next.
Sean"
Full patch notes will be released before the game update is rolled out live.
