No Man’s Sky has introduced its latest update, Relics, which allows players to become space palaeontologists. This free update is available today for PC, console, and VR users who own the game. Following the successful Worlds Part II update released in January, this patch adds whimsical yet transformative gameplay elements that promise to enrich your interstellar adventures.
The Hello Games team is excited to present a new category of discoveries on your journeys through the universe. Players will now have the chance to unearth fossilized remains of ancient alien species that once roamed these planets. The tools you’ve grown accustomed to using are still helpful; grab those terrain manipulators and prepare for some archaeological fun.
Various prehistoric bones, differing in shape and size, await excavation. As players dig through their chosen planets’ surfaces, they can assemble these finds into distinct skeleton displays at their bases—perfect for showcasing your creativity or sharing with fellow Travellers.
Aquarius expedition, these new relics vary significantly in rarity. Some of the more uncommon items will be highly sought after and can fetch impressive trades at Space Stations across the galaxy.
This update isn’t just about digging up bones—an accompanying community expedition will soon launch that will allow players to compete for rare finds. However, caution is advised when choosing excavation sites; lurking beneath the surface are dangerous artefact creatures eager to protect their treasures from intruders.
The Relics update brings an interesting sense of history into No Man’s Sky. Who knows what mysteries lie buried beneath each planet? Perhaps you’ll even stumble upon the colossal skeleton of a Titan Worm, famed among explorers.
The year has started off well with updates like Worlds Part II, which have attracted many new players to this ever-evolving universe. I’m looking forward to unveiling more surprises throughout 2025!
