A new update for No Man’s Sky went live earlier today (May 25) with the Leviathan update bringing a host of exciting new additions to the survival game. Announcing the new expedition, developer Hello Games explained that “our seventh expedition traps travellers inside a time loop, and offers a taste of roguelike gameplay.
