Endurance is the next update to No Man's Sky

Hello Games are a busy enough getting the Switch version of No Man’s Sky ready for its October release, but that hasn’t stopped them in releasing another massive update for the game, Endurance.

Endurance is the fourth update for the game this year, Sentinels and Outlaws were big updates, with the larger expansion Leviathan as well, but this new one is a bit different is details with freighters.

The freighters of No Man’s Sky are huge, arresting vessels which have long served their traveller captains as they embark on missions to the far reaches of the galaxy. As the name suggests, Endurance is a nod to epic voyages in striking ships and is our opportunity to put these impressive craft front and centre.

For the first time, you will be able to build intricate freighter bases to rival their planetary constructions, with the added benefit that these ones are able to sail across the stars. We have cranked up the customization of these capital ships to the max, and we’re looking forward to seeing the same base-building creativity in space as we see planet-side.

Design and build your floating base with scanner rooms, shops, planters, refiners, and extractors to name but a few. Then populate them with a crew who will move from room to room through glass corridors with incredible starlit space-vistas as they carry out their duties.

Corridors and bridges are not confined to the interior of your ship either. A walkway on a freighter’s exterior provides an amazing vantage point to view the planets, stars and all-new asteroid fields. Photo-mode at the ready!
