No Man's Sky's Player Finds Alien Giving Viral Hippo Moo Deng Vibes

The creature found in the Eissentam Galaxy looks like it belongs at Moo Deng's house.

But no sooner had that expedition begun than players began speculating about what happens next, with Sean Murray helping to fan the flames a bit.

“Several More Surprises” are coming to No Man's Sky in the coming weeks

In a PlayStation blog post about The Cursed Expedition, Murray said: “In the coming weeks we have several more surprises, including a specific release to take advantage of the incredible power of the PlayStation 5 Pro at launch.”

Of course, comments like this are designed to create excitement, and it seems Murray succeeded, with players speculating that it could mean the launch of the Worlds Part 2 update.

Since the blog post was shared, multiple threads have popped up on Reddit, with many players convinced that the tease specifically focused on No Man's Sky's next big update. Worlds Part 1 was transformative for the game, adding tons of new features and fundamentally changing water and cloud textures, bringing back thousands of new and lost players, so the excitement for Part 2 is palpable.

But while Worlds Part 2 is the key prediction, speculation went further than No Man's Sky. Some gamers have surmised that this post is Hello Games' way of acknowledging that they plan to show off more of their next title, Light no Fire, which debuted at The Game Awards last year. With the 2024 version of the event just over seven weeks away, it seems likely it could feature there, fitting with Murray's “In the coming weeks” comment.

Of course, while there's plenty of intrigue among the No Man's Sky community, Murray's tease might just hint that the game is getting a PS5 Pro update with better frame rates and resolution. But he knows better than to tease it, doesn't he?

Lose yourself in a grand sci-fi odyssey as you explore an almost infinite, procedurally generated universe.

Venture out from the edge of the Euclidean Galaxy and forge your own interstellar existence in a vast universe teeming with life, danger and near-endless mystery.

No Man's Sky is a hugely ambitious, heavily stylized sci-fi adventure spanning entire galaxies, all brought to life with procedural generation. Travel through an endless variety of increasingly diverse and dangerous star systems, search for rare materials, trade with alien life, populate planets and search for clues to the meaning of the universe's mysterious existence.

How you survive is up to you. Assemble entire fleets of dreadnought-class freighters and tear across the universe; build vast habitable bases over the planet's surfaces, underground or under the sea; buy and upgrade your own weapons and starships and battle forbidden space pirates, hostile alien fauna or the mysterious Sentinel fleets.

The universe is yours to explore – trillions upon trillions of planets waiting to be discovered.
