No Man’s Sky Emergence update: Halloween event date, Giant worms, more
No Man’s Sky will add a survival horror-themed update called Emergence just in time for Halloween. Here’s all we know about when the start date could be, as well as the horrors you’ll find.
No Man’s Sky looks to be channeling Dead Space and Tremors in its next update, dubbed Emergence. The long-running space exploration title has been growing since 2016, and the game’s Halloween event is being described as the first Expedition to feature a narrative, as well as a “mini-update”, according to developerHello Games.
Here’s everything we know about No Man’s Sky Emergence – and those who don’t like bugs should probably look away now. You were warned.
When does the No Man’s Sky Halloween event begin?
The update arrives today, October 20th, alongside patch 3.70.
No Man’s Sky Emergence content
The event, the game’s fourth Expedition, will leave players stranded on planet Wasan. The world has been decimated by dust storms and Titan Worms, and to escape, players will need to find “Titan Worm impact sites”, destroy the “Hungering Tendrils”, and collect a resource called Vile Spawn that’s left behind. Lovely.
Doing so will give players a narrative to follow, leading to discoveries of a cult, and more.
Titan Worms
The Emergence trailer sets the spooky vibe by emulating that grainy found footage style of horror but it soon becomes all about Titan Worms. Massive, giant, man-eating worms.
However, the trailer also sees the player character riding the Titan Worms like some kind of giant living transport. That’s right, folks, you’ll be able to tame and grow a sandworm companion.
