Die Mannen von Hello Games überraschen mal wieder mit einem neuen Update für No Man’s Sky. Noch in dieser Woche soll das „Path Finder“ getaufte Content-Update für das Weltall-Erkundungsspiel erscheinen. Um es den Spielern schmackhaft zu machen, haben Hello Games neben dem recht trockenen Changelog auch einen Trailer bereitgestellt.
Mit „Path Finder“ erhalten nun endlich die von der Community sehnlichst erwarteten Bodenfahrzeuge Einzug in das Spiel. Es wird drei verschiedene Typen von Fahrzeugen geben, mit denen ihr die Planeten unsicher machen könnt. Desweiteren wird eine Unterstützung der PlayStation 4 Pro integriert, welche für ein schärferes Bild sorgt. Eine neue Permadeath-Funktion, das Base Sharing und die Schiff-Spezialisierungen sind auch mit an Board.
