To say thatNo Man’s Skyhas been robustly supported since launch would be an understatement. Despite a very rocky start and a lengthy wait before Hello Games was ready to start rolling out content,No Man’s Skyhas seen over a dozen substantial updates since 2016. Just this past week it launched the Expeditions update, one of the most exciting yet. Without pausing for a breath, it seems Hello Games is already teasing what’s coming next.
Hello Games' Sean Murray shared an intriguing post to Twitter Sunday regardingNo Man’s Sky. There is no text in the post, leaving just a single image to convey his message. The image features a four-by-four grid with panels for each ofNo Man’s Sky’s content updates since launch. In total, there are 15 panels, with the most recent panel being filled in bylast week’s Expeditions update, but the bigger point of conversation is what belongs in the empty panel at the end.

The final panel in the bottom-right corner of the image is empty, the seeming implication being that Murray is conveying a message, so fans are speculating about what that might be. The most prevalent idea is thatMurrayis hinting that another update currently in development. Some are even jumping to the conclusion that it could be closer to completion than expected - but again, there’s no direct evidence of that.
The next most popular idea goes even further. Rather than focusing on the empty space being representative of a new expansion, it considers the possibility of it being the last expansion.No Man’s Skyhas been in development for five years, andHello Games likely has other projectsit wants to work on. Perhaps the image hints that Hello Games wants to push one last big update, and then that will be enough.
Obviously, this is all just speculation on the fans' part. There’s no evidence ofNo Man’s Skyhaving another expansion in the works, that an update might arrive soon, or that it could beNo Man’s Sky’s final update. Murray’s message could just a celebration ofhow much content Hello Games has releasedfor the game so far.
If the post is evidence of anything, it’s that fans are excited about thefuture ofNo Man’s Sky, regardless of Hello Games' plans. With Expeditions,No Man’s Skywill have continued support for months or even years going forward, regardless of whether there are any more major updates. It’s been a long road, butNo Man’s Skyis in a very good place.
No Man’s Skyis available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
