'No Man's Sky' Expansion Confirmation Expected This March
Fans of Hello Games' action-adventure survival video game, "No Man's Sky," are currently awaiting confirmation of its rumored expansion.
According to iDigital Times, most of the speculations will likely be cleared up by lead programmer Sean Murray during the 2017 Game Developers Conference in March. He is said to be giving a lecture (titled 'Building Worlds Using Maths') to discuss the algorithm involved in the game's 18 quintillion planets. Rumors claim that Murray may take the opportunity to showcase a new version "No Man's Sky" in the panel. Many gamers are looking forward to the said news. After the Foundation update last November, no new adjustments have been offered by Hello Games.
Rumors of an expansion started when Nvidia, the California-based technology company, recently announced that they are offering the 1.13 version of the game via GeForce Now.

According to Express, the patch reportedly includes the addition of three modes – Normal, Creative and Survival. Creative mode is where the players choose their home planets and design their base. Survival, on the other hand, offers them chances to increase the difficulty level of the game. Other features include the gamer's ability to buy interstellar freighters, customized to their own preferences, and use them to store the much-needed resources to be bartered at trading posts. Nvidia is reportedly selling the game for $59.99 inclusive of a Stream digital download code and unlimited SHIELD streaming rights.
Hello Games has yet to comment on the said update. The company has been keeping quiet after the November patch was released. It previously encountered problems prior to the launching of "No Man's Sky" in August 2016. The game itself drew mixed reviews, getting a rating of 71 percent from Metacritic. Some of the negative reviews called it boring and not worth the price tag, citing lack of gameplay and repetitive content as reasons.
