Hello Games is teasing out No Man's Sky Beyond, the next major step forward for the game. Sean Murray said that Beyond will make big changes to the game in the same way that the Next content expansion did in summer 2018. Most notably, Murray wrote about "No Man's Sky Online", though he did say that NMS is not an MMO but that it will feature "a radical new social and multiplayer experience which empowers players everywhere in the universe to meet and play together". "We will talk more about each of the three major components of Beyond when we know we can be precise and look forward to sharing more in the coming weeks." Murray wrote. No Man's Sky Beyond is planned for Summer 2019. Read the full announcement on the No Man's Sky site. … [Read more...] about Hello Games Introduces No Man’s Sky Beyond & ‘No Man’s Sky Online’

Hello, parents! There’s no need to be alarmed, it’s just me, your friendly neighborhood superhero! And you’ve no need to fret; your children are completely safe with me, Entirely Avoidable Hazard Man! With me around, your children won’t hurt themselves by tripping and falling, they’ll hurt themselves due to the variety of hazardous materials and environments that could be quickly removed if I had expended even the slightest effort to think about it! First, let’s go for a ride in my wonderful knife car, filled with haphazard razor blades, jagged mental, sharpened dashboard, and possibly some expired bottles of fruit juice.

GOG offers No Man’s Sky refunds after players discover that multiplayer won’t come for months yet
As you may have seen, No Man’s Sky is back in the spotlight thanks to this week’s massive NEXT multiplayer update. However, not all players are rejoicing. Specifically, those who own the game through GOG.com discovered that this version of the game won’t be activating its multiplayer mode until later this year due to the effort of bringing multiplayer online across several platforms. What could have been a huge player riot over this segregation and delay was deftly dealt with by GOG. The virtual games reseller announced that while Hello Games is not going to offer refunds due to the delay, GOG went ahead and authorized an unrestricted refund policy for anyone who wants it from now through July 29th. The company did this even though No Man’s Sky is two-years-old at this point. “Although Hello Games chose not to offer refunds over missing game content to our users and instead promised to bring the missing multiplayer content later this year, we … [Read more...] about GOG offers No Man’s Sky refunds after players discover that multiplayer won’t come for months yet
No Man’s Sky’s concurrency is waaaaaaay up since the launch of NEXT
Can’t take the sky from No Man’s Sky. It’s built right into the name, see. You can take the game from Green Man Gaming for a cool $25, however, and that’s exactly what I did last night because that’s cheap, and I wanted it, and I want my kid to have a go at it too because it’s gonna blow his Spore-playing mind. As VG247 pointed out, I am not alone: SteamCharts is tracking a massive boost in concurrency since the NEXT launch yesterday, over 41,000 people playing. June’s peak, by comparison, was 2000-ish. (Launch was over 200,000, though.) Polygon called NEXT the “second coming” of the game. The @NoMansPics Twitter account has exploded with eyecandy. The NMS subreddit is filled with weepy gratitude, particularly from people thrilled to finally be playing with distant friends. Steam’s recent reviews have jumped up to “very positive,” but it doesn’t look as if the game will ever live down its overall … [Read more...] about No Man’s Sky’s concurrency is waaaaaaay up since the launch of NEXT
