One of the greatest comeback stories in the history of video games just keeps writing itself new chapters. If you’ve checked in on the wildly ambitious space sim, No Man’s Sky, in the last few years then you’ll know just how much UK-based developer Hello Games has turned things around for a game that was once the subject of a false advertising investigation. And its latest update introduces fully explorable space wrecks.
The follow-up to August’s substantial Voyagers expansion, the new Breach update adds floating wrecks that you're invited to salvage to your heart’s content. The materials you find can be used to unlock new ship-building parts, and after Voyagers — which finally allowed players to build their own fully crewed spaceships — was such a hit with the No Man’s Sky audience, Hello Games says it has also improved and expanded its workshop feature in the latest update.
Breach also introduces a new expedition, which are No Man’s Sky’s time-limited story-driven events. In this one, players will "traverse a desolate and abandoned universe to discover what happened to a mysterious abandoned wreck." Those able to successfully voyage to the edge of space and ransack the remains of the ship will be rewarded with rare parts to use on their own creations, including "glowing Atlas-themed wings." The expedition looks suitably spooky for a Halloween playthrough with your pals.
