No Man’s Sky’s second seasonal expedition starts off with a challengeSo the first one was just a warmup, apparently.

So the first one was just a warmup, apparently.

No Man’s Sky - The player stands on a dark and snowy planet alone.

Last month, space exploration craft ‘em upNo Man’s Skylaunched its new “expeditions” game mode. Expeditions are limited time adventures though, so the first one has come to a close and the second one, called Beachhead, has launched today. I’ve definitely not landed on a beach though. This second expedition has stranded me, and everyone else, a long and frozen walk away from our ships. This should get interesting.

I’ve also loaded up the second expedition, out of curiousity, and let me tell you this one is not a walk in the park. The “Beachhead” expedition has loaded everyone onto the frozen, barren Tibertant Alpha. I happened to be a 12 minute walk from my ship carrying a damaged scanner, and I suspect others will find themselves in a similar situation. Just getting to my ship is going to be a bigger challenge than it was in that first season.

Well this adventure is sure off to a frigid start.

No Man’s Sky - The player stands on a snowy, dark and barren planet looking at a waypoint showing their ship’s location which is a ten-minute walk on foot. The temperature is reported at -29.9 Celcius.

Beachhead, as befits its name, definitely seems like more of a challenge than the initial expedition. Not only that, but you’ve only got two weeks to play it, according to the game mode selection when starting a new save. I think a nice timed challenge sounds grand though.

Hello Games have posted theirBeachhead patch noteswith a few additional bug fixes and updates.
