It’s happening – No Mans Sky is getting Multiplayer
- No Man's Sky will be getting Multiplayer
- The announcement came from an inside Xbox Stream
- 'No Mans Sky Next' will be release on July 24th
In 2016, No Mans Sky was lauded with controversy when the game was said to have multiplayer and a wealth of other features on launch, when it didn't. Here's what Crowbcat made of it.
But now, Sean Murray is talking actual Mulitplayer in No Mans Sky with the Next update.
After a stream of updates over the past 2 years, No Mans Sky is looking to get a Cooperative, Multiplayer update to its model - however footage is yet to be shown.
Murray was discussing the release of the Next update as a new game release, as it will be the first time the game will be on Xbox One.
'This is exciting... ... when no mans sky Launches... .. you're going to be able to play with your friends... ... in kind of a full multiplayer experience'
Murray went on to say that the multiplayer is 'a really different experience' and 'It's more Battlestar, it's like Star Trek away team'. He then said elements of the multiplayer would include being able to 'come across random strangers and travellers' and 'if you're that guy, you can kind of go and prey on other people'.
Later into the interview, Murray also said that 'we're good at making games, we're better at that than talking about it' - I'm all for a modest developer.
No Mans Sky Next will be available on July 24, and will be available across all platforms.
Was interested when it was first coming out. Never got around to playing it though. May have a second look now. Nice post
Indeed, the hype was unreal but it dwindled pretty badly. Hopefully this adds so spice to it! Thanks for dropping by :)
Hopefully this will help the company back in the good books for a lot of people, but sadly for me this time has been and past, as this was way overdue.
I wish them luck.
Yup, lots of people with this exact sentiment. Its ashame really because it had alot going for it before the flop. Thanks for dropping by mate :)
This is one of those polarizing titles that gamers either loved or hated. There was no real in between with it. Sort like Sonic the Hedgehog - you either loved the speedy game play or could not stand it.
I am surprised it took this long to get coop multiplayer implemented. Though, I am sure it is not as easy is selecting "anti-aliasing" with a check box in the devkit.
Absolutely. I have a small bunch of friends and its 50/50. You either hate it or love it. Thanks for dropping by :)
I picked up NMS on a Steam Sale, the only time it was recommended to get it, and it was a great game to just lose yourself in for a few hours, but... You have to ignore that the story is pretty much non-existent, and that one some PCs it's disturbingly crash-heavy. Whenever they'd announce a new content patch I'd hope it meant more stability, but it's still running wonky.
Hopefully Next will finally bring some stability to NMS.
Ahhh yes! I had real stability issues with the game as you said the story line was well.. dismal at best. To the next big patch hopefully! Thanks for dropping by :)
looking very intersting.
It sure is!
