NMS Forsaken Horror Update just after Cosmos
As the shadows lengthen and the air grows crisp, the cosmos is stirring up something far more unsettling than simple stellar drift. For players exploring the vast, sprawling universe of No Man’s Sky, the latest free update from Hello Games, titled Forsaken, delivers a dose of cosmic dread wrapped in tempting loot, perfectly timed for Halloween.
While previous updates, like the Cosmos update, focused on expanding exploration and allowing players to reach the stars and build space stations, Forsaken zeroes in on the darker, more mysterious corners of the void. Hello Games aims to pull back the curtain on the “darker side of the universe,” inviting players into a realm where the unknown is populated by haunting technology and biological horrors.
The core gameplay revolves around a new, compelling pursuit: searching the cosmos for these coveted, bizarre items. Players will brave the most harrowing regions of space to discover and acquire haunted technology and alien biological specimens, which can then be sold to eccentric traders.
This hunt isn’t just about discovery; it’s about customization. Trading these cosmic curiosities unlocks a host of seasonal rewards, including delightfully creepy and organic shipbuilding options—think alien cockpits and writhing, wormy multi-tools—as well as unique character cosmetics, such as unsettling larva tank helmets.
Beyond the seasonal thrills, the update brings essential quality-of-life improvements. Hello Games has fine-tuned the user interface with a better radial menu and a minimal Heads-Up Display, offering players more freedom to focus on the exploration ahead. One of the most striking additions allows players to warp instantly to any star visible from their cockpit, streamlining the journey across the galaxy.
The ongoing commitment to the universe is clear. Hello Games continues to evolve the experience, hinting at future projects like Light No Fire, a forthcoming sword and sorcery RPG set not in an endless galaxy, but on a single, densely packed planet. These constant updates and refinements demonstrate the team’s dedication to letting the world of No Man’s Sky speak for itself.
