It looks like No Man’s Sky’s next update is imminent as Sean Murray breaks out the emojis again - and fans reckon it’s a big one
No Man’s Sky fans are bracing for an imminent update as developer Sean Murray has resumed his tradition of teasing announcements with cryptic emoji posts on social media. The upcoming “Cosmos” update, scheduled to coincide with No Man’s Sky’s 10th anniversary, appears to be drawing near based on Murray’s recent emoji activity.
Murray has established this teasing ritual as a reliable indicator of upcoming content, a tradition that dates back to 2020 when he used an egg emoji to announce the Living Ship update. The community has learned to recognize these cryptic posts as a signal that a major announcement or release is on the horizon, making them a distinct part of the game’s culture.
Speculation among the No Man’s Sky playerbase suggests that Cosmos could be a substantial update, though official details regarding its scope and features remain limited. The game continues to receive significant content updates years after its troubled initial launch in 2016, with Hello Games maintaining an active development cycle and demonstrating long-term commitment to the title.
The 10th anniversary milestone represents a significant moment for the space exploration game, which has undergone considerable transformation through regular updates and sustained community engagement.
