This is an x-post of what I posted in r/gaming
There is a new NMS update coming out soon, expected at the end of August at the latest, HG are helping hype it up with an ARG called Waking Titan. They wouldn't do this before, as seen with the past 2 updates, as they wouldnt't want to dissapoint again. Before the ARG started we knew about an 'Old Build Test' Depot put up in SteamDB, this shows they are working on the old version of the game. But recently, in the past few months we now know of a few knew things to be added:
Pretty much confirmed:
First Off Portals - Know this from spectograms on tapes
New Lore and Story
Likely, but not certain:
New elements
Portals take you to a new 'universe' and it is where the Fourth
Race are, it is also 'outside' of the simulation
Atlas Pass Level 4
Improvement in Combat - Found in Game Files
Improvement in Survival (Weather, Caves, Night) - Found in Game
Files things like Extreme Cave Temperature
Speculation:
Pre-release features being added back in - due to the 'Old Build Test' andd the fact that HG wouldn't hpye it up normally. MP - Some say the Fourth Race, is us
Also, we can expect improved generation as with the other updates, as well as more base building parts, e.t.c.
Waking Titan has also brought to light new lore and story in the game, this has been found on the [Waking Titan](wakingtitan.com) website if you type in whois [command]:
Waking Titan Lore - Phase 2
16
They found strange things in the wrecks... aberrations, data that spoke of worlds that do not exist and events that did not happen. One day Specialist Polo went out to investigate one such craft, the life signature of a Korvax still on board. They never returned. Is this how Nada and Polo met? Is this how my friends found each other? There is a signal on the console, a warning on repeat – sixteen short bursts of data in a loop.
Glyphs
Something following – zzktt – turn and it’s not there. These caves, I’m – kkttzztt… Exosuit tells me to abandon – zzrtktt – must disable it, I do not plan to survive – zzrttktt – Did not take offer, decided to – zzktt – angered the universe, I know, but I must –
Portal
The Traveller awoke beneath the shadow of a red star. Through the lonely cosmos they fled, yearning for purpose and meaning. They found an anomaly, an aberration, a door to the heavens. No Gek, no Vy’keen, no Korvax could see it. Only the Traveller could perceive the portal, though they did not know how to step through. They did not know the secret language, the glyphs. They did not yet grasp the price of the final truth.
Glass
There is a world beneath all of this, a world of – zzktt – glass – kkttzztt… Those I killed – zzrtktt – Vy’keen, Gek, Korvax, united in freedom and – zzrttktt – They did not die, not – zzktt – Even now, I see their faces. They – zzkttt – smile. We make them smile…
Atlas
All I know is this. The Atlas had infinity to work with, and with few exceptions, this triad repeats... Gek, Korvax, Vy'keen. Gek, Korvax, Vy'keen. Traders, warriors, scientists, all their stories ... ending in violence. Think about it. How would the Atlas speak, how it would cry for help? It would use the only language it knew. It would speak with life. It would create.
Traveller
They do not respond with speech. They transmit a vision, a red star and a fragile world. I do not understand the shapes within, the whispers... I see lifeforms scattered to the far reaches of the galaxies. I see this stranger's first breath, yearning for the stars. I see myself, slumbering in the crimson void, waiting for a dream of worlds. And through the darkness, I hear it said...
Korvax
But even in the depths of their subjugation, there was hope. A bargain, a prayer to a greater being. The Korvax viewed the Atlas as what they might become in time: an intelligence beyond comprehension, beyond judgement. I convulse as the Nanite Clusters spill through my helmet. The Korvax watches me impassively.
Vy'Keen
The Vy'keen tells me of their history, of wars with the Gek, of Korvax slaves and tyrannous empires. The Vy'keen suggests that if the Atlas is a God, then it is insane. I am about to leave when I notice something on the Vy'keen's terminal. Two digits, blinking endlessly... they feel familiar.
Fourth Race
INCOMING TRANSMISSION… SOURCE: UNKNOWN… You are not – kzzktt – alone – Please, identify yourself. I’m – kzzkttk –
Aerons
Multiple contacts, multiple – zzkttt – infra-knives, fire, fire! – kkttzztt… Structural – zzrtktt – Sentinels surrounding – zzrttkkt –… Taking us to – zzktt – the harvest circuits glisten – zzktt – not what they seem, not what –
8Nada*
At the mention of the portal, the lights on Nada's mask begin to stutter.
Polo
It takes me a moment to realise who I am speaking to. This alien... I have met them before. They are Specialist Polo, the partner of the Korvax Priest-Entity Nada. They are my friends, stewards of an anomalous station located outside of time and space.
Sentinel
They are coming, now. The screams of my friends resonate in every hall, every corner. The Sentinels have found me. I told Nada to leave. I told them what we already know, all of us, in our hearts... we are not alone. Even if I die, even if all that is left of me are these words, Nada will find me again in another universe. Ten just like me, a thousand, a million Travellers... We are not alone, for every soul is many. Even in the face of sixteen, we must declare that we lived. We existed, no matter the horror of the end. They are at my door. I –
Waking Titan also shows up the back story of Atlas and how they are a company making the perfect AI, we have found websites about them:
As you can hopefully see HG have put a lotsof work into this and are honestly going to turn around the launch. I really hope you appreciate this and now know about the update that will change NMS completely, the on we've all been waiting for.
Thanks
