The latest community expedition of No Man's Sky has finally been launched, a week after the space exploration game saw its 20th major update, Endurance.
Expedition 8: Polestar was announced along with Endurance's patch notes. Community expeditions have been a hit with the game's huge fan base, and players are excited to see what the latest iteration will bring.
Expeditions are periodic updates that bring a series of limited-time events. This begins at a fixed point in the universe, thus the moniker "embark on a shared journey".
Expeditions revolve around a series of milestones, and these may be completed in any order. There are plenty of unique rewards up for grabs that players can bag.
The official blurb for No Man's Sky Expedition 8: Polestar explains that players will be captaining a heavy shipping freighter on an interstellar cruise as they warp their metal fortress across the galaxy.
During the voyage, players will be repairing the frieghter's unique technology while uncovering "the mysterious circumstances that led to its current predicament".
Furthermore, with Expedition 8, players will be able to end the expedition early and then convert their progress to a Normal Mode save after completing all of their required milestones. As is usual with the mode, when Polestar finally ends, this save conversion will automatically happen.
Polestar will be running in No Man's Sky for approximately six weeks from July 27, with the update already being live on the server. Hello Games also stated that all the limited edition rewards of Polestar will be available to be redeemed across all save games from the Space Anomaly's Quicksilver Synthesis Companion.
The expedition rewards are as follows:
Pilgrim, Polestar, and Heavy Shypping
