No Man's Sky is back with Worlds Part II[1], expanding the universe in new ways
as only games can. Hello Games, the studio behind No Man's Sky[2], has
announced the release of its newest iteration and the billions of stars and
trillions of planets added to its universe.

In a statement about the release, Sean Murray, founder of Hello Games,
explained, "This allows us to push the boundaries of our engine and technology
without changing the things people love about the game already. If you settled
on your home planet with a beautiful base that you lovingly crafted, that is
safe — but now there are new worlds to explore with a level of variety no one
has seen before."

This shift includes the addition of Gas Giants, which Hello Games claims are up
to 10 times bigger than any planets previously included in the game. The
developers have also improved things under the sea, with better fishing and
deep sea diving. Plus, the lighting should be better, with more detailed
shadows, sharper sunlight and, of course, those shining starry skies.

Hello Games also says Worlds Part II offers quests that connect existing
storylines and mysteries. A lot of this development comes from work on Hello
Game's new fantasy game Light No Fire[3].
