Hello Games boss Sean Murray is teasing another No Man's Sky update with cryptic emojis. In two separate tweets now, Murray has shared a series of star emojis, or more specifically, the star emoji used to represent dizziness. It's not clear what that's meant to signify, but that hasn't stopped fans from guessing.
This comes shortly after last month's Omega update, which of course, was also teased with a string of emojis over on Murray's social media account. In that instance, the emoji he used revealed the name, as he tweeted the omega symbol. It might be the same this time around, likely meaning that the update will incorporate the word Star in its title, somehow.
Naturally, fans are already hard at work in the replies, trying to decipher what on earth Murray is communicating to us here. The only thing we can assume with any confidence is that a new update is on the way since we're all well aware of how Murray teases new patches at this point.

It's hard to tell when the next No Man's Sky update will be with us, but there was only a wait of a few days between Murray's last emoji tease and the Omega patch going live, so it could be released very soon. That's far from confirmed though, especially since it's only been a few weeks since Omega dropped, so take that with a pinch of salt. In the meantime, we'll have to see if Murray
