Prepare to cast your line in No Man’s Sky! Hello Games has announced the Aquarius update, a free addition that introduces a fully-fledged fishing experience to the vast cosmic sandbox. Get ready to explore underwater biomes, catch rare fish, and even farm your own aquatic bounty.
The Aquarius update brings a familiar yet engaging fishing system. Use your fishing rod and equipment to explore different bodies of water, each with its unique ecosystem. Different baits will help you snag those elusive, rare fish. Filling your fishing log is about more than just bragging rights – it also unlocks new challenges and rewards. Compare your catches with other players by checking the updated Wonders Catalogue, which now tracks your fishing achievements.
But fishing isn’t just about catching fish; it’s about the experience. The update introduces the customizable Exo-Skiff, a dedicated fishing platform with its own inventory, perfect for exploring the depths and hunting for the most elusive catches. A deep-sea diving suit adds a whole new level of immersion, allowing you to explore underwater like never before. Set up fish traps for passive fishing, and then cook up your catch using new seafood recipes.
To celebrate the launch of the Aquarius update, a limited-time expedition awaits. The six-week Aquarius expedition will test your fishing skills and reward you with unique items, including an underwater jetpack for exploring the depths with style. Complete the Lost Angler story within the expedition to earn the coveted Lost Angler’s Rig, a unique fishing rod for those who truly appreciate the finer points of the aquatic pursuit.
The Aquarius update isn’t just about fish. It’s also a showcase for the impressive water effects introduced in No Man’s Sky’s Worlds Part I update. The updated visuals add a level of realism and beauty to the underwater world, enhancing the experience of exploring the oceans and casting a line. So grab your rod, head to the nearest body of water, and experience the tranquility of fishing in No Man’s Sky’s vast universe.
