Hot on the heels of last week’s combat-focussed new Sentinel update, No Man’s Sky is ready to embark on its latest limned-time Expedition event – this one offering a “gentle-paced” jaunt giving players the chance to unlock their own quadrupedal robotic companion.
No Man’s Sky’s Exobiology Expedition is live now on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC, and is expected to run for the next five weeks.
Expedition Five, known as Exobiology, aims to provide some contrast to No Man’s Sky rather frenetic combat-focused overhaul by sending players on a more relaxed adventure themed around discovery and interacting with the universe’s fauna.
By progressing through the quest and reaching the milestones laid out in the Expedition log, players can unlock a new Reality Glitch jetpack trail, creature-themed posters to decorate their bases with, new Exotic companion armour, plus a new Exotic wingpack – and for those that get to the end of the Expedition, there’s a friendly quadrupedal robotic companion to unlock.
