No Man’s Sky’s New Singularity Update Is About AI Corruption

No Man’s Sky’s next big update is about AI and robot uprisings.

The update, out today for all formats, is dubbed Singularity. It is the 10th major update for the long-running space exploration game.

Singularity forms a part of a much longer narrative arc that kicked off in the Interceptor update and is set to play out as the year goes on.

Players investigate curious robot heads that are delivering cryptic clues across the galaxy. The story is about AI corruption and robotic uprisings, with Hello Games teasing “strong hints of what’s to come in No Man’s Sky”.

“Throughout the five week long expedition, the whole community will be working with Nada and Polo on the space anomaly to try to breathe new life into the galaxy, and work together for some exciting rewards,” Hello Games explained.

“The expedition concludes with the player having to make a choice which will have far-reaching consequences…”

The idea is by the end of the season, the No Man’s Sky community will have worked together to uncover clues that lead to hints at future updates and more story.

New rewards include No Man’s Sky’s first new full character customisation set in years.
