TheNo Man’s SkyARG Waking Titan has come to its conclusion and Hello Games' reward for players is the release of update 1.3.Update 1.3, Atlas Rises, will launch later this week according to an email sent out to those who participated in the Waking Titan ARG. The update will focus on improving the “central story” ofNo Man’s Sky, while also adding a portal feature for players to travel between locations. The announcement of Atlas Rises comes one full year afterNo Man’s Sky’s June 09, 2025 launch.
Followers of theWaking Titan ARGwill discover exactly what Murray means this week, as the Atlas Rises update will be freely available forNo Man’s Skyplayers as soon as tomorrow. While the story rework and portals are known to be included, patch notes might have additional surprises for players.
Sean Murray also took the opportunity to reminisce in the email, since it’s the first time in a while that he’s spoken to theNo Man’s Skycommunity. Murray mentions that it’sNo Man’s Sky’s anniversaryand how the year has been “exciting, intense, and emotional,” and how the team has spent the year dedicated to creating free updates for this project the team “cares about so much.”
“What we do is much more important than what we say, but since launch we have sometimes focused too much on that.”
Waking Titan was Hello Games' way of re-establishing communication and celebrating theNo Man’s Skycommunity. More than that,Murray’s languageseems to imply that the end of the ARG and the release of Atlas Rises is meant to be a new beginning forNo Man’s Sky. Really, it’s already started with the establishment of the Citizen Science Division, which Murray encourages moreNo Man’s Skyplayers to join by visiting thegroup’s official forums.
Perhaps the most poignant part of Sean Murray’s letter is its final line:
“Our journey continues.”
No Man’s Skyis available now on PC and PlayStation 4. Update 1.3, Atlas Rises, will go live before the end of the week.
