Hello Games announced the introduction to the Worlds Part I – Update 5.0 today. The upcoming changes, while being possibly extremely problematic for existing players, looks absolutely amazing! There is a Deep Dive video and a trailer available on the official post on their Steam website, here. Should it really interest you, I also found they have a bit more information available on their website, here. This update does appear to confirm rumors of an upcoming Universe wipe, which I hear will mean the destruction of all player bases at the very least. In truth I’m not definitively sure what that might entail in terms of player progression. In an unfortunate set of events for me, I had just finished building my recent headquarters base, but ultimately I’m open to the possibilities this update brings to the table. I’m hopeful at least I’ll get to keep my character progress, units, nanites, multi-tools, etc… but even still if not, I’ll get to experience the game in a new light, so I’m not too concerned about it over all. I did note a patch for NMS today, but thus far I haven’t been able to dig up any information on what is going on. I suspect it’s probably just some prep work for the upcoming World Part I – Update 5.0 update? Only time will tell. Happy travels, um, Travelers!
