The holiday’s are approaching and Hello Games has put out their schedule for No Man’s Sky expeditions that will be running between now and the new year. As I understand it, this has become something of a tradition for the team, allowing players to run past expeditions that they may have missed or that they might want to run again.
The holiday expeditions are coming
First up is the Beachhead expedition, the second expedition for the game, that initially ran back in May of 2021 which, among other things, offered up visions of the Normandy from Mass Effect.
Beachhead: 7th Nov – 18th Nov The inhabitants of the Space Anomaly have detected something impossible: a fluctuation in history already written. A new pattern is emerging in the stories of the ancient Gek, Korvax, and Vy’keen. Something is coming: a legendary weapon that always appears whenever it is needed…
Next up will be the Titan expedition, the 17th expedition, which ran back in February of this year.
Titan: 19th Nov – 2nd Dec Chart a dazzling array of new stars and new worlds formed in Worlds Part II: gas giants, endless oceans and cloud-skimming mountains. Earn exclusive rewards, including a unique living ship dredged from the inky depths of a water world.
After that we will get a run at the Relics expedition, expedition 18, that came with the Relics update in March of this year.
Relics: 3rd Dec – 16th Dec Sign up with the Galactic Palaeology Society and join the community on a journey to recreate ancient lifeforms, uncover secrets left undisturbed for millennia, and earn a complete living stone appearance override.
Then we will be able to re-run the final two expeditions from 2025, starting with Corvette, the 19th expedition, that came with the Voyagers expansion and gave us new level of creativity in ship design.
Corvette: 17th Dec – 30th Dec Your former starship has been damaged beyond repair, and the Sentinel horde is closing in. Assemble your own corvette-class starship, maximise its stats and potential, and take refuge amongst the stars! Earn an array of exclusive rewards, including the one-of-a-kind Mecha Mouse robotic companion.
Finally, we will get to re-run the recently ended Breach expedition, the 20th in the run, as we ring in the new year.
Breach: 31st Dec – 13th Jan Traverse a desolate and abandoned universe, confronting both the awe and the horror that lurks in deep space. Follow the tale of the ill-faded Fireship Arcadia, step into zero-gravity, and scavenge modules from its wreckage to enhance your own corvette builds. Complete milestones to earn a set of ancient, powerful Atlas-themed corvette modules.
I am personally most excited about going back to run the Beachhead expedition, but I like to collect fun ship models.
The Beachhead Promo Screen
As such, I will probably head straight for that this weekend… null sec drama be damned. (Though there is little enough for me to do there save show up and shoot targets of opportunity once in a while.)
Two of the other expeditions I have recently done, so unless there is a change in the rewards, might not be as attractive a second time. And the other two, Titans and Relics, they will at least be new, if recent.
In addition to that announcement, a few fixes were thrown into the update that launched the Beachhead expedition yesterday.
- Fixed a rare issue that could prevent the Starbirth mission from detecting the final world sought by the Void Egg.
- Fixed a rare issue that could leave players stranded a long distance away from their newly-created purple star system during the In Stellar Multitudes mission.
- Fixed an issue which affected the jetpack effect when using the Skyborn Jetpack Unit.
- Fixed a number of UI issues when using enlarged UI text.
- Fixed an issue that prevented some special player customisations earned as rewards, such as the Jellyfish Tank helmet, from being available across save files.
- Fixed a physics crash.
- Fixed a multithreading crash.
And, as usual, Hello Games would very much like to you wishlist their upcoming title, Light No Fire on Steam. Some day we’ll get there.
