Mysterious Depths

The core focus of Worlds Part II was to revamp the underwater environments of No Man's Sky. Previously, the oceans and lakes were largely overlooked by players due to their lack of engagement. However, the update has brought a dramatic change by introducing deeper, more challenging underwater realms. These new depths are characterized by eternal darkness and immense pressure, making survival a formidable challenge. To aid players, the game now includes specialized suit modules and a pressure level indicator for dives.

The underwater world is no longer shrouded in complete darkness. The flora and fauna have evolved to emit their own light, with corals and certain creatures glowing from within, creating a mesmerizing bioluminescent spectacle.
