The Future Of No Mans Sky Is VERY UNCERTAIN!!

[@drewmalesky9869]

My theory is: HG will soon shift focus to Light No Fire (LNF) and develop their engine further for a 1 biome game. Then in a few years they'll take the Light No Fire engine and Tech to Use that as a skeleton for No Man's Sky 2. (multiple Biome planets, dynamic mud, sand, water, snow) Then they'll port a lot of NMS1 content and gameplay loops over into the new engine.

[@light_wolf-f1c]

Would be cool

[@BunkzGaming]

That would be cool, actually. That idea had never crossed my mind

[@ProgrammistMusic]

i also asume they will go that way, but i think NMS 2 will take another ten years from now.

[@LichRC]

I hope, if this is the case, that it will be possible to import save files from NMS 1 to NMS 2, as it happened for Mass Effect, but in a deeper way, allowing the players to import their beloved starships and bases.

[@drewmalesky9869]

@@LichRC I think it'll be an entirely new galaxy. I doubt it will be backwards compatible. Also it might be better to start fresh anyways

[@ShaighJosephson]

I'm pretty happy with the direction of how they are improving the game... Next up will be adding the customization of solar, exotic, living, and sentinel ships with another new ship type on the way... Being an EO, ED, and SC player, I find NMS to be a nice retreat from the other games... 🙂

[@Swampdonkey796]

Have they said they’re gonna add the other ship types to the builder?

[@Mad_Dog-by2nl]

EO?

[@BunkzGaming]

@@Mad_Dog-by2nl I'm guessing EVE Online

[@BunkzGaming]

I don't think they'll add customisation for some of those otherwise they'd have included a couple already, could be wrong though 😊

[@nunocorreia671]

yeah i think when light no fire is launched hg's focus will shift, but i don't think they're done updating nms yet , i see shuttles, solar and exotic shipps being added to ship customization and new expeditions that end the nms story arc with the void mother, and adding the story to the main game so players can play the story without an expedition and maybe hg could make expeditions available anytime with custom difficulty available

[@elizawulf8180]

I do eventually see a water update (Aaargh Water mod, coral reef resources, deeper depths, better River generation, Jetstreams...maybe waterfalls), a Horror/Hazard update (similar to Outlaw/Sentinel), and more dungeons (based on Vykeen ruins/Gek First Spawn/Korvax Prime/World of Glass) Ship updates to Living & Exotic would be needed to put them on par with Solar & Sentinel. And maybe Shuttle improvements as well.

[@niallmoseley6760]

I really want them to do a biology/genetics update. Where you can breed creatures in labs, that you can then release into the wild , so they can occupy your planet. This could be thru a spore like create a creature, or if thats too much, then just breeding creatures that you found on other planets. No longer will u find a cool creature on a planet , thousands of light years away , only to never see it again. Also things like extincting species and replacing them with the new genetically bred ones, so you can control the design of creatures on ur planet.

[@cptfreeman8966]

You’re definitely correct about older consoles struggling my PS4PRO sounds like a jet engine lol any time someone walks in my room they ask if I have the heater on. But then again it was kind of dusty

[@BunkzGaming]

I had the same issue with my PS4 😂 The PS5 is super quiet with it though

[@Sventt]

I would like to have an update that reworks the storage system, being able to have more containers and the possibility to separate them from the shared freighter ones, and also expand the limit of the Ships slots we could have

[@socratesbleu]

You're thoughts make sense from a business point of view, with attention spans being at an all-time low making the "next big thing" is the only way many game companies can continue to exist. However, as a veteran gamer and NMS fan boy (despite only starting about a month ago) I feel that they have a beautiful opportunity here if they are able to take the long view. NMS could very well be GEN 1 Oasis if they invest in some of the dev tech to make it happen.

[@stevengoyer5287]

I feel like the big update will be in the fall so they can compete with triple a titles for the holidays. I hope they add a new enemy race that all races have to join together to fight against and have big eve online type ship battles.

[@yesidid8786]

"by no stretch of the imagination is this true" (that No Man's Sky is a bad game). About right. This game has been such a calming influence for me. It is at your own pace, but not without stressors and the grind. I reckon a majority of the dislike comes from folks who desire and want to be rewarded by continuous close combat first-shooter frenzied action and/or fed narrative. I get it. My hope is that LNF dev feeds the next version of NMS, as another commenter mentioned. For folks who are on the fence with putting down $ for NMS, still highly recommend. This is a 150+-hour game IMO, depending. Also, positivity of NMS community is so nice. I've never utilized coordinates, but zero hate.

[@batjimadventures2201]

I don’t no if it’s just mine with a bug i’ve come across but every time I add a landing pad to my base, it deletes everything inside if it attaches to the base it’s done this to me a few times now and it’s really annoying

[@uclapac10]

I hope you can help me.I began the game and I started roaming around collecting everything.I don’t know where the ship is.I continue to collect anything and everything.How do I find the items that I need to repair the ship?Where is the ship?How do I get off the planet?After three months of roaming around,the game is starting to get boring.Please help.Any pointers,tips,tricks,anything would be extremely helpful.Thank you.

[@AsterionH]

I also worry that NMS will take a backseat to the new game they're working on. I'm starting to get my kids into NMS, and I'd like to see it continue to grow and expand.

[@skrunklyOwO]

I’ll be so glad when they’re done updating the game with new content. I’m so tired of each update bugging out the game and then having to wait for a fix. So annoying.

[@lukecanterbury9522]

I hope we get a revamped base building update. Would love to see more functional objects and it would be nice if we had other materials instead of just the wood, alloy, and concrete. I miss the original concrete look back when NMS first came out. Also being able to snap ANY part together however you want instead of only certain ones going together would be nice. True build freedom. No height limits either so my space bases can stop disapearing on Switch 😂

[@austinstoner1988]

Hey bunkz, do you know of a good tutorial on how to install mods for no man's sky,

[@tomvelden]

its the perfect base for a game. the idea is great and it almost nails it. it is just verry empty and verry generated. Its needs more structers , more building, more alive villages

[@J_sLaXx]

HG updated the Havoc engine with the Echo's update IIRC. its doubtful they would abandon their cash cow. look at their net worth.

[@donenglish7572]

I still love nms so won't stop playing it any time soon. I actually just found my first squid ship this week. I'll definitely play light no fire. Being retired has it's benefits. I can play a few games per day. I have no doubt the updates for nms will make way for the new game.

[@icata12345]

i agree but two things are needed my opinion : make expeditions playable and selectable what ever when ever . make modder support and update . like easy to install and remove games like conan exiles are doing fine because of modder's imagine modder's that can tweak around with the game :D more than now

[@No-vq1iv]

I just hope they improve the ship customi... building feature, because the one we got in Orbital feels more like a demo or proof of concept than a full fledged feature. The options are very limited and most ship types can't even be customized. Not to mention it's horribly unbalanced, even for a relaxed game like this.

[@IanJackson33]

i wish for an update to have small towns and cities on some worlds and improved combat

[@IanJackson33]

oh and a update on base building

[@cornbreadcuban5456]

The problem I’ve had with that game is that it’s still not what I bought. Even with all the new features like shipbuilding it’s just more decoration on the same gameplay loop. I got really into leveling my frater, but in the end I’m leveling the freighter just to level the freighter. All the while using the same gameplay loop to do so. So anything new felt old pretty fast with the repetitive game structure.

[@ProgrammistMusic]

the question is, what you thought the game would be offering when you bought it. The game is a survival/exploring game you can play almost endlessly, so the same gameplay loop is just by design.

[@CatherineInFlorida]

I would guess they'll do something huge in Aug 2026 for the 10yr anniversary. I wonder if new content will end at that point except for major bug fixes if there's a NMS2 planned. But they are keeping NMS fresh with new graphics & effects so maybe they'll release content for another 10 yrs.

[@futureusmc2694]

why would they ever end updates it‘s still getting new players and a new game wouldnMt make sense you they should continue and make a more pvp or pve game update and it would destroy star citizen

[@ProfessorCynical]

Interesting video, I do think nms has some more life in it yet but how long that will be who knows

[@BunkzGaming]

Likewise, I do think Light No Fire's release will have a huge impact on NMS updates, but until then I'm expecting business as usual for NMS 😊

[@ghostmetal6251]

Wow you are that one insufferable youtuber that's always posting crap clickbate videos with that awful character design with no body armor. Even if I like no man's sky, I'm making sure I never gonna watch any of your videos

[@TheRustDominatorTN]

It would be more of an appeal if they added more online features

[@ferncamper4433]

Hmmm... I can not understand that some people say that NMS is a very good game. I mean its clearly become much much better than it was shortly after its release, but unfortunately it still has, even with all its free DLCs, nearly no content which could convince players to stay over a longer period than the 50h core-game-play, which are the main missions and some of the side missions. And I must say if the devs are so stupid that they take away all that expeditions, which maybe would deliver some more hours of play time, they deserve that NMS is dyeing. This is the content which you can play so far: - default mission (atlas) - autopharge staff mission - side missions for base building - side missions for exo vehicles - side missions for plants - side mission for interceptor - side mission for freighter and later dreadnought - side mission for living ship And thats it. There is no more content. All together that tooks me about 50-75 hours playtime. They miss to add content updates over all the years which delivers some new main missions which give about 30+ hours of game time in mission play. This short things like getting your sentinel ship (interceptor) takes about 30 minutes to play. Or getting the staff from the autopharges was, if you do not try to get an s-class, about 2 hours. So, this micro-content updates are not enough to hold players. And if we are all totally honest.... exploration... really ? I mean landing on 100reds of planets which are 99% all similar looking and have in 99% of the cases similar lookin fauna/flora ?! This is already damn boring after the first 20 planets. Or running all this missions over and over and over again ?! For what ? There is no need in doing this. Also there is no real need for having a base... yeah and do not tell me its about money farming... i have 100reds of million and I dont really need that... So, in my opinion NMS deserves to die and make room for another better game which hopefully can deliver another 50-100h of time to play. But I assure you also this new game will be done after a year or so like any other new games...

i am 2000+ hours in the game and i only play it for two years now. So there much be something to keep me going almost every day.

The whole thing you said about old consoles holdingbthis game back is biggest bullshit ive heard in a long time about this game nms litterly isnt even 20 gb and runs well even on a old dusty ps4 thats because it runs on lower ghraphics settings on ps4 thats about it youll see less rocks and plants in a certain square area . Mechanics wise they still go any way they want and still manage to run it on ps4 because the game was designed in time and for that generation of consoles that the ps5 got a ghraphics update doesnt mean at all old consoles are holding this game back thats the wrong assumption on a 8 uears old game

Build a city that functions in the game. I want to be able to use the dreadnought. I want to start an in-game war just because.

[@jador9641]

"I want to be a pirate." Then i think you should really update your view on this game by at least a bunch of years, because now you can be officially a pirate with the outlaw faction and reputation system, they even made assaulting freighters for their cargo way more immersive and challenging than how it was before finally. But yeah, i agree that in all these 8 years the game has been in circulation, we still didn't get any meaningful update that could help the core gameplay feel less repetitive and pointless. Because for a game with the premise of you being a space explorer and discovering the secrets of the galaxy, there's hardly any reason to actually explore any planet as when you see a biome you have essentially already saw all the X billion planets in game at once.
