Introducing...No Man's Sky Remnant!

[p]Hello,[/p][p][/p][p]In 2025, No Man’s Sky Travellers were treated to one of our biggest years yet. Even we struggle to know how we pulled off so many large updates last year -  Worlds Part II and Voyagers were both transformational and released in the same year, interspersed with smaller but significant updates in Relics, Beacon and Breach. [/p][p][/p][p]Today we’re pleased to announce that our first update of 2026, our 10th anniversary year, is already rolling out. It’s called Remnant and it introduces something that we and the community have been aching to introduce to No Man’s Sky since the beginning…a fully operational gravity gun! Full patch notes are available here.[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]
Our new update is called REMNANT and it introduces something that we’ve been wanting to give players since the very beginning - a gravity gun![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]
The Gravitino Coil is a powerful new anti-gravity module for your multi-tool. It turns No Man’s Sky into a physics playground. Allowing you to grab large objects and fling, toss or carefully carry them around the world.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]
Salvage and debris that could always be found on planets can now be collected and recycled for rare and highly prized resources. New trucks, tipping flatbeds and haulers can be constructed, to transport resources back to industrial yards for reclamation. You can work alone or join a salvage crew with friends. It creates this really fun and tactile new loop of searching for wrecks, loading trucks full of cargo and hauling across the alien landscape to industrial yards to gain new loot and rewards.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Sorting and depositing materials in these all-new Waste Processing Plants will reap great rewards. Some of the scrap is highly volatile though and must be transported extremely carefully. It’s hard to resist over-stacking your truck, finding one more piece you think you can cram in, and then trying desperately to transport this house of cards on the back of your flatbed![/p][p][/p][p]Our gravity gun is an industrial tool, but it can also be used as a ballistic weapon, grabbing sentinels or fling heavy objects, turning them into projectiles. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Vehicles can be hugely customised, to create bespoke trucks and haulers for your needs. Build your own brightly coloured incinerators, spider legged sci-fi explorer or heavily armed military vehicles with tank tracks.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The Remnant Update comes with a limited-time community expedition. It brings Travellers together in convoys to clean up and reclaim a planet covered in wrecks and salvage. Perhaps you’ll be a hauler, or the gravity gun wielding ground crew or maybe a scrap yard operator.[/p][p]
[/p][p]There are beautiful rewards, including dozens of new vehicle parts, and an all-new beautifully crafted armour set, with plush, padded fabrics and ornate steam punk detailing.[/p][p][/p][p]2026 represents 10 years since we launched and I couldn’t be prouder. For any game to reach such a milestone is a privilege. It wouldn’t be possible without your continued support and we genuinely appreciate it.[/p][p][/p][p]Full patch notes for REMNANT can be found here.[/p][p][/p][p]Our journey continues.[/p][p][/p][p]Sean [/p][p]
P.S. Please consider wishlisting our next game, Light No Fire, here.[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

No Man's Sky adds Half-Life 2's gravity gun to your arsenal, and I can't believe it's taken almost ten years to get it

If you told my jaded, disappointed self back in 2016 that No Man's Sky would still be around almost ten years later, I'd have laughed in your face. How wrong I would've been. The prime example of a redemption arc, No Man's Sky is one of the best space games you can play right now thanks to all the incredible updates it's received. Now, the first patch of this landmark year has arrived, and while the new multi-tool attachment should make all players smile, Half-Life and Portal fans are going to be grinning like Cheshire cats.
