AlthoughLight No Firesis Hello Games' next major project,No Man’s Skycontinues to receive updates, eight years after its release. With no real roadmap for the game, it’s hard to know what’s coming next, but players can probably expect a mix of themed, limited-time Expeditions in between updates that add new content to the game, like theAquariusupdate in September 2024 which added fishing. AsNo Man’s Skybecomes more feature-complete, it’s hard to say what else the game really needs, but Hello Games has shown a strong devotion to continually improving the game over time.
