Hello Games has announced its new 5.20 update with patch notes, but the main highlight is the sixteenth expedition: The Cursed. Like previous expeditions, The Cursed is only available for a limited time and it starts soon, lasting for approximately two weeks.
This expedition focuses on players experiencing the lines of reality and other dimensions being blurred. Players won’t be able to warp between star systems with their hyperdrive technologies. However, interstellar travel can still be achieved by using the ancient portal network.
Players will wear the Anomaly Suppressor, which will anchor them to reality. Ghostly figures called spectral anomalies will appear and are normally harmless. However, as the Anomaly Suppressor weakens, they may start to attack or act differently. Players can also drink concoctions to navigate the expedition, such as the Elixir of Quicksilver, which reveals the locations of portals and the Elixir of Blood, which opens gateways.
Those who participate in this expedition can expect rewards such as new posters, a bioluminescent companion, a spectral trail jetpack, and an exclusive Boundary Herald starship. The ship looks like a UFO, and this expedition seems to serve as the game’s special Halloween-style event this year.
The update includes a patch which fixes a few issues, including graphical corruption problems on Xbox and depth of field rendering on Switch.
No Man’s Sky is available on PC, PlayStation, Switch, and Xbox.
