Summary

- Can you make it through The Cursed expedition before the boundaries between realities collapse?
It’s already been a busy year for the small No Man’s Sky team with no fewer than five major updates (Omega, Orbital, Adrift, Worlds Part I, and Aquarius) for Xbox, PC, and Game Pass Travellers to enjoy. We’re not done yet and are pleased to announce that we’ve embraced the spookiness of the season to bring you our 16th expedition – The Cursed! This free content update for all owners will be available to play starting this week on October 23, 2024, and will last through to November 6, 2024.
The No Man’s Sky universe can be a beautiful place but it’s not immune to sinister goings on! The Cursed sees Travellers battling in a sort of twilight realm against the usual environmental extremes that space has thrown at them, but also, a far more existential threat – the collapse of the boundaries between realities. The new Anomaly Suppressor adaptation for your Exosuit is your main defense against being ripped from your reality.
Haunting voices accompany you on your journey through this fragile, imploding realm. You need to decide whether the information, guidance and assistance they are providing are trustworthy! And ultimately, find their source and their motivation.
Ghostly spectral anomalies are taking advantage of the porous boundaries and drift freely to and from your reality keeping a keen eye on you as you progress. If you maintain your Anomaly Suppressor, they will keep their distance. But if you let your technology deplete, they may be less timid!
The nature of the reality you find yourself in means that hyperdrive technology is inaccessible, thus incapacitating you for conventional interstellar travel. You must therefore fall back on technology of antiquity and cross star systems through the ancient portal networks.
Portals can be located through the procurement of the Elixir of Quicksilver, just one of the materials and potions that can be found to aid you on your journey. The Elixir of Glass can bolster the boundary strength, and the Elixir of Blood can pry open the gateways. But will you dare drink from the Elixir of Water in the final trial?
The Cursed expedition comes with the usual abundance of limited time exclusive rewards including a Boundary Horror adaptation for your Exosuit, a bioluminescent companion, an exclusive ink-stained jetpack trail, and the ultimate prize, the saucer-like Boundary Herald Starship.
We’ve really enjoyed bringing the spook back to No Man’s Sky for this expedition. It reminds us how playful we can be with our strange universe.
