No Man's Sky Beyond is a three-part expansion to Hello Games' procedural universe, beginning with No Man's Sky Online

Following a rocky release in 2016, No Man's Sky has gone from strength to strength as developer Hello Games worked to correct its inherent flaws and expand its qualities as a multiplayer sci-fi sandbox of infinite proportions.

Last year, the studio released No Man's Sky Next - an all encompassing free expansion that coincided with the Xbox One release of the procedural space exploration sim - but this is apparently just the beginning for creator Sean Murray, who has today announced the next evolution of his game with No Man's Sky Beyond.

In a press release, Murray calls No Man's Sky Beyond the "most ambitious chapter so far", which will be rolling out this Summer for free to any owner of the base game, and made up of three major updates rolled into one uniform expansion.

Woot!

Encountered my first other real player last weekend. Kind of unexpected, you are on a lonely planet, and someone rolls up to you. Very cool.

That would be cool.

Currently, 'Multiplayer' is mostly just a glowing orb floating where a character is. Unless they 'join' your game, they you see them as the Avatar they choose. But seeing random people, as Avatars, just doesn't happen. And you also never see their ship. Ships are all unique, just like planets, wildlife and vegetation. So seeing someone elses' ship would be pretty cool.

I may do very bad here, as this is not a game but....

This was just something that came up on another site, but damn....this artist has a dream that I certainly would love to see in gaming reality.

It's game related. Close enough.

I never played any of those, but I can see the draw.

You've never played Mario Bros or Legend of Zelda? Turn in your gamer card, sir.

A game like that would give Nintendo a money printing license.

For any non Nintendo fans, this is Zelda/Link & Mario/Peach, in the quintessential Final Fantasy 1 party class system.

Guilty. Other than Atari 2600 and similar systems, I've only done PC gaming since DOOM and Abuse.

Never had anything 'Nintendo'.

I sincerely suggest that you find a way to play Kart, Party, or Smash in local co-op. Easily some of the greatest party games ever made, and excellent ice breakers, for mixed group parties.

Mario Kart also ends friendships.

All three do. Stealing stars on the last couple turns, get rekt.

I bought a switch specifically for Kart, Part, and Smash. Great games.

Nintendo sucks!

You can still be a gamer without having played Nintendo - there are tons of other systems that are as good or even better. I know lots of people online who are hardcore gamers that prefer other systems to Nintendo (Atari, Sega, Playstation, etc.).

I don't know why I came on this forum.
