so i just heard that no man's sky is getting a major update that's basically turning it into a pokemon-style game, and i'm low-key freaking out. the new update is called xeno arena, and it lets you collect, train, and battle all these crazy alien creatures you find throughout the game.



i mean, we've all been waiting for no man's sky to become the ultimate space exploration game, but who knew it would also become a creature collector's dream? apparently, the devs at hello games were inspired by pokemon and other pet-battling games, and they wanted to create a whole new aspect of the game that's all about battling and collecting these alien beasts. you'll be able to find these creatures on different planets, and each one will have its own unique abilities and strengths.



one of the coolest things about this update is that you'll be able to build your own xeno arena to battle your friends and other players. the arenas will be located in space stations and the nexus, and you'll be able to compete in daily challenges to win rewards. it's like a whole separate multiplayer game within no man's sky, and i'm so down for it. the devs are also promising that there will be super-rare creatures to find, kind of like the legendary pokemon, and i'm already imagining all the hours i'll spend searching for them.



i love that the devs are being so open about their inspirations, too. they're not trying to hide the fact that they're fans of pokemon and other pet-battling games, and they're just running with it. the creature-collecting aspect of the game will have its own depth and strategy, with different elemental affinities and abilities to consider. it's going to be so much funRead more: Full article on www.pcgamer.com
