Few games can boast such a big turnaround as No Man's Sky. Falling short of expectations at launch, in part thanks to marketing, but also because it was kinda dull, developer Hello Games has since transformed it into an engaging, busy space sim that finally lives up to its grand ambitions. But it's not done. No Man's Sky Beyond is the next chapter in the cosmic adventure, and it should be the largest one yet. 

Hello Games has quite a few things it wants to add to No Man's Sky—three updates worth of stuff, in fact—but instead of releasing it piecemeal, the developer is combining everything into one big, free expansion. Details are sparse at the moment, though the first component has been teased: No Man's Sky Online.
