Worlds Part 2 also overhauls lighting; light filters through a canopy of leaves, while a cave feels truly dark and immersive. Oceans reflect light, and sunsets are more vivid than ever. Gas giants sound fascinating, as they\u2019re 10 times the size of the largest planets currently in the game, with massive storms that make exploration an endgame feat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">More details about the Worlds Part 2 update for <em>No Man\u2019s Sky<\/em> are available in a deep dive video featuring Murray that Hello Games published Wednesday alongside the patch\u2019s trailer:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div>\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"No Man&#039;s Sky Worlds Part II Deep Dive\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2lG2DTjP-_M?rel=0\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" allowfullscreen allow=\"accelerometer; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share;\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Hello Games is continuing to work on <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/game-awards-tga\/23993126\/hello-games-light-no-fire-announcement-trailer\">Light No Fire<\/a><\/em>, a fantasy adventure set on a single world.
