Hello Games just released their biggest update for No Man’s Sky earlier this year with the NEXT program. This was the update that brought the game back on track and earned the gameplay hours from fans that previously exited the game. Next week, Hello Games announced that the first titled update following NEXT will arrive next week and will be related to the timed holiday event- Halloween.
Hello Games’ Sean Murray announced a new update called The Abyss which is completely free for No Man’s Sky that brings a “handful” of members at Hello Games to the table. They’ve been working on this update for a while and it’ll go live next week across all platforms. Murray said it’s just one small step in the larger content plans they have for NMS.
He hinted that it’ll be related to Halloween:
“Focuses on some of the eerier elements of No Man’s Sky, in keeping with the theme of this season.”
There’s no confirmed date as for when The Abyss update for No Man’s Sky will go live, but we’ll hear from Hello Games regarding the patch sooner or later. You’ll find details about it here as soon as it goes up.
The update will be free for existing players and will be out for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Just looking at the update art gives it away that the patch will be something dark and scary with the neon lights and background. But what the update contains, we’ll have to see next week. Stay tuned.

I specialize in indie games as I think they don’t get the attention they deserve. I’m just your typical consumer who has some opinions to share. I’ve been reviewing games since I was 12. I started out reviewing them with friends on old forums that now no longer exist. Then I went to online VoDs, which I’ve lost interest in.
And now I’m here to deliver my thoughts in written format!
