The core focus of Worlds Part II was to revolutionize underwater exploration. Previously, the oceans and lakes in No Man’s Sky were underwhelming, with limited resources and little incentive for players to explore. However, the latest update has transformed these aquatic environments into thrilling, mysterious depths. The oceans are now deeper, with areas of eternal darkness and intense pressure, making survival a challenging yet rewarding experience. Special suit modules have been introduced to help players withstand these harsh conditions, and a new pressure level indicator assists during dives.

The underwater world is no longer shrouded in darkness; bioluminescent flora and fauna now illuminate the depths, creating a mesmerizing environment. The lighting in shallow waters has also been revamped, enhancing the visual appeal of these areas.

New species of aquatic life have been added, ranging from fish and seahorses in moderate depths to awe-inspiring gigantic squids in the deeper, more ominous regions. This update makes building underwater bases more appealing, offering gameplay experiences reminiscent of Subnautica.

New Planets

The Worlds update also introduces hundreds of new star systems, including the intriguing purple star systems. These systems feature new oceanic planets and gas giants, expanding the variety of celestial bodies players can explore.

Accessing these new systems requires completing the storyline and acquiring a new type of engine. The reward is well worth it, as gas giants offer some of the best resources in the game. These planets have a rocky core, and players can land on them despite the harsh conditions of storms, lightning, radiation, and high temperatures.
