Remember when we were all riding that No Man’s Sky hype train? There was a clip back then that showed off massive space battles in action.
The game launched, and like a lot of other things with the experience, the space battles were significantly smaller.
A new patch has released for No Man’s Sky that tweaks those space battles, among other things. You’ll finally see the massive ones. Will you chase fighters below a planet’s atmosphere to the surface and then back into space again like the trailer suggests? No, not yet, but maybe that’s coming.
No Man’s Sky is getting better
No Man’s Sky‘s latest patch is a solid effort
The full patch notes include a few key changes and bug fixes. Dig into them below. Is this getting closer to the No Man’s Sky we were all so hyped for?
