No Man's Sky: Hello Games Putting 'Finishing Touches' on Nintendo Switch Version
ign.comNo Man's Sky developer Hello Games is putting the "finishing touches" on its Nintendo Switch version of the game.
Announced in February with a summer 2022 release date, the Switch version of No Man's Sky is seemingly on schedule according to a new update.
In a press release detailing the new Leviathan Expedition, the developer said: "In the background, the rest of our small team have been hard at work putting the finishing touches to, among other things, the Nintendo Switch version and some large upcoming updates."
No Man's Sky on Switch will be the complete version of the game with all 20 major updates, including the latest two: Sentinel and Outlaws. Sentinel was released in February and completely refreshed the game's weapon system and on-foot fighting, while the Outlaws update did the same for space combat and added Han Solo-esque smuggling and space pirate missions.
Its Leviathan expedition - a relatively self-contained adventure - also launched today (May 25) and revolves around time loops and space whales.
Despite all these updates, that have rolled out every month or two in 2022 so far, No Man's Sky isn't nearly finished according to creator Sean Murray. In our 7/10 review of the 2019 Beyond update, IGN said: "No Man’s Sky Beyond is another leap forward, but doesn’t fix the grind, monotony, or dull combat."
