A universe reborn
Hello Games has given planetary exploration a serious boost. The Worlds Part II update brings an overhauled terrain system, offering more detailed environments than ever before. Expect towering mountains, vast chasms, and sprawling landscapes with a level of variety never seen before in the game. The introduction of new biomes further expands the diversity of planetary surfaces, ensuring each discovery feels fresh.
Gas giants: a new frontier
The biggest (literally) addition to No Man’s Sky is the arrival of gas giants—massive planets that dwarf anything seen in the game so far. These behemoths, ten times the size of the largest existing planets, loom over solar systems with swirling storms dominating their atmospheres. While landing on them isn’t possible, players will be able to navigate their volatile upper layers, facing extreme weather and unique challenges. Exploring gas giants is designed as endgame content, offering high-risk, high-reward experiences for seasoned spacefarers.

Deep-sea exploration: into the abyss
Oceans in No Man’s Sky just got deeper—literally. Players can now dive further into the depths than ever before, uncovering hidden worlds teeming with new life. The abyss is home to colossal creatures, including giant squids and glowing seahorses, all lurking in the dark waters. The new underwater environments are designed to be both breathtaking and terrifying, with coral formations providing the only light in these deep, alien seas.
More to discover
Beyond these major additions, Worlds Part II includes numerous tweaks and quality-of-life improvements. Expect enhanced visuals, better planetary variety, and new exploration tools to make your journey through the cosmos smoother and more immersive.
