No Man’s Sky adds haunted traders and star-to-star flight
Forsaken traders exchange salvaged mementos for corvette modules, while new courier missions put the ship to work as a delivery vessel.
No Man’s Sky: FORSAKEN turns deep-space salvage into a corvette upgrade loop, and the update is out today. Hello Games released its Halloween update on October 28, 2026, and the hook sits at the edges of deep-space outposts. Players can summon forsaken traders there and hand over the mementos they salvage in exchange for corvette modules.
The corvette also gets work to do. New haulage missions and package courier missions turn it into a delivery vessel. For builders, new habs and cockpits arrive alongside extra structural pieces, so the ship itself has more room to grow.
The quieter change may matter more over time. Players can now fly straight to a star they see in the sky and travel there seamlessly. It stretches the game’s existing trick of flying from deep space down to a planet’s surface with no loading screens. The interface gets two options as well: a minimal HUD mode and radial weapon selection.
Not every new item goes on the ship. A larva tank helmet joins the cosmetics, and preserved grubs buy a larva cannon multi-tool, which is about as on-theme for late October as a gun can get.
A crowded year for No Man’s Sky
FORSAKEN is the fifth major No Man’s Sky update this year. REMNANT and XENO ARENA came first. THE SWARM and COSMOS came next.
COSMOS, released last month, brought more players to the game on Xbox and Game Pass. It added discoveries in the space between planets and let players own and customize their own space stations. FORSAKEN stays in that same stretch of space, just darker, and the team says it is already planning for 2027.
