- Founder Sean Murray teased a third potential update with a sweary smiley tweet.
- Fans are wildly speculating about the upcoming update, predicting curses or content related to profanity.
It's been a busy few months for No Man's Sky. First, the game received its massive Worlds Part 1 update, which saw its water and clouds get a complete visual makeover alongside floating islands in the sky. A few months later, the Aquarius update dropped and added the much-requested fishing activity as an eight-year-old. All of this made No Man's Sky reach its highest number of players since 2019.

Not letting the momentum die down, Hello Games founder Sean Murray is able to release the game's third update in as many months.
Classic single emoticon teaser
Murray is known for tweeting No Man's Sky updates by posting an emoji. For Worlds Part 1, he tweeted around the world, for Aquarius, a vase (which fans speculated about rivers). Now, unless he's just really Furious, Murray posted a single tweet with a red-faced swearing emoji.
Admittedly, this emoji is less likely to allow players to speculate about it than the previous two, but that hasn't stopped the online speculation from raging.
On the game's unofficial subreddit, the update has been dubbed both the “cursing update” and the “cursing update,” with players joking that it's “finally letting the gex say the slurs that prevented it all.” year.”
Jokes aside, players recently found a bug in No Man's Sky that incorrectly identified the word “heaven” as an expletive, so there are some suggestions that this is just a small patch to fix it.
Another totally viable theory, especially now that we're in the spooky season, is that the game will add some sort of mystical curse. Given that some cases, such as the gruesome example, already point to a curse, this theory may not be too far-fetched.
Whatever happens, it will likely be another free update for the game, something fans have been begging Hello Games to stop.
