No Man's Sky Update 3.90 patch notes bring roguelike Leviathan Expedition
No Man's Sky is about to get a little taste of roguelike gameplay as players journey to break a time loop and gain the reins of a massive space creature.
With each update to No Man’s Sky, we wonder what Hello Games will bring to the table. We’ve seen plenty of cool stuff including pilotable and AI companion mechs, outlaw space stations and missions, and organic ships. The next update for No Man’s Sky is going for something a little different in gameplay, bringing roguelike elements to the game. Considered the Leviathan Update, No Man’s Sky 3.90 brings a new expedition to the game and you can find all the content additions, tweaks, and changes in the patch notes here.
No Man’s Sky Update 3.90 patch notes
Hello Games launched Update 3.90 and its accompanying patch notes in a recent blog post on the game’s website. The headliner of these patch notes is easily its seventh Expedition: Leviathan. In this one, players are trapped in a time loop and must discover the secrets to breaking it. Failing and dying means the time loop resets. Players must navigate the mystery and survive long enough to break the loop and an encounter with a massive space beast awaits. It can even join your fleet as an organic ship. Check out the full patch notes for No Man’s Sky Update 3.90 below:
Changes
- Expedition Seven, the Leviathan, will begin shortly.
- This expedition takes players on a narrative-driven roguelike adventure to break a time-loop curse, where each death means a reset of the loop.
