No Man’s Sky’s Leviathan update will trap you in a roguelike time loop
Hello Games’ intergalactic wandering simulator No Man’s Sky has gone roguelike for its seventh free expedition update, Leviathan. With a name like that you’d expect something pretty big and, lo, the space whales have arrived. You’ll be able to recruit these leviathans for your capital ship’s frigate fleet, and even keep a baby version as a pet inside your base. Witness them in the trailer below.
Разработчики No Man's Sky представили седьмую экспедицию под названием «Левиафан»
Студия Hello Games выпустила седьмую экспедицию для No Man's Sky. Новая порция контента получила название «Левиафан» не просто так: вместе с релизом в мир игр были добавлены гигантские космические киты.
No Man's Sky Leviathan adds roguelike mode and space whales
Hello Games has announced its new expedition, No Man's Sky Leviathan, which turns the space game into a roguelike game and adds, as the name suggests, some giant space whales. The expansion is free and traps travellers inside a time loop with distinct story content dealt out through memory fragments. Players of the survival game can also recruit the titular leviathans as an organic addition to their frigate fleet.
The Leviathan expedition begins today (May 25), and is set to run for approximately six weeks. Players taking on the adventure enter into a time loop with survival mode difficulty settings applied. As expected from the roguelike description, dying will mean a reset of the loop. Players can also explore the mode in co-op by starting a community expedition.
At the end of the adventure, progress is converted to a survival mode save and all of the phase rewards can be redeemed across your save games using the space anomaly's quicksilver synthesis companion. The rewards on offer include a temporal starship trail, a tiny, chrono-preserved baby leviathan frigate, posters for your space base, and a stylish blue whalestalker cape - as worn by "an ill-fated traveller obsessed with their quest to capture a cosmic leviathan."

No Man’s Sky Leviathan expedition takes you inside a time loop offering a taste of roguelike gameplay
The latest expedition for No Man's Sky, Leviathan, has gone live and it traps Travelers inside a time loop with difficulty tuned to survival-mode settings.
Running for the next six weeks, this roguelike expedition has you exploring the loop where you will recover Memory Fragments. These lost remnants of previous loops appear as procedurally generated technology, meaning each reset of the loop can play out differently. You can collaborate with other players to "even the odds."
Alongside your efforts to break the loop, you can also help Specialist Polo in researching the loop’s manifestations. The more players that participate in the research, the stronger the Memory Fragments become, resulting in better upgrades, more inventory space, and stronger Multi-Tools and starships.
