No Man's Sky Has Some Kind of Cryptic ARG Happening Right Now

Brodo Baggins · Dec 28, 2017

A new glyph on the No Man's Sky Waking titan ARG is now active.

The whois command has been updated to say #whatis1.5, and all the pages from the first three phases have been taken down:

The new Glyph text:

Dear Elizabeth
We have finished processing 10,000 passes as per your requirements. You should
have them in time for the next phase. I really hope you will like the final product.

Kind regards,
Gall

For those of you who did not follow along for the first three phases you can read up on it here: https://wiki.gamedetectives.net/index.php?title=Waking_Titan

AHH I'm so excited!

Edit 1/17:
The first Atlas Passes have started Arriving!

The last ARG was amazing and the update was massive. I'm down for another one.

Belvedere · Dec 28, 2017

I didn't expect to love the first ARG so much. Glad to have it back!

Completely agree (from following the ARG). I need to pop this in again and give it a go! I have not played it until a month or two after launch, so I assume I am in for a treat jumping back in.

Wait, again?! For a second I thought we were reminiscing about the first Titan ARG!

I'm in!

Van Bur3n · Dec 28, 2017

Subscribing! it was fun watching people discover the previous ARG

Kaffeemann · Dec 28, 2017

I could swear I saw that thread title somewhere before :P

Alastor3 · Dec 28, 2017

ohhh Might have to do with real multiplayer :O (clearly not mmo but still)

Deleted member 9971 · Dec 28, 2017

Another possible update!? I am so in :D

Cordy · Dec 28, 2017

Man this game's really done a 180 from release. Love it.

SpankyDoodle · Dec 28, 2017

Man I really need to start playing NMS again jeez

Deleted member 437 · Dec 28, 2017

Noice.

Been waiting for the latest patch to drop before I finally get back in. Last time I played this game was at launch, haha. Missed all the new patches. I'm excited to try it again.

How long from beginning of Arg to patch does it usually take?

ED_209 · Dec 28, 2017

Probably it's the 1.5 update. Cannot wait to see what they'll do, since the 1.3 was great.

vasyndrom · Dec 28, 2017

Sorry for my ignorance but please enlight me , what is ARG? I know i could google it but somehow can't access any google service at work.

thezboson · Dec 28, 2017

Had a great time with WT this summer, can't wait for more NMS.

Unicorn · Dec 28, 2017

YESSSS Was just thinking it was about time. Will be 3months in Jan.

Borshay · Dec 28, 2017

Was wondering when we would hear from NMS. Waking Titan was amazing to watch unfold over the summer. Hope they can match the ARG and the Update that followed as well!

I am in the same boat as you. Excited to jump back in myself, and look forward to this ARG.

I think it means Alternate Reality Game? It's when the advertisements for a game or movie or book become like a community event.

Shouldnt an ARG be about something people would care about in the end?

Seiniyta · Dec 28, 2017

Oh noooooo!

... I was so into the last one and was glued to the monitor for months seeing what the community was figuring out and what it was leading up to. Fuck.

The last one lasted around 2-3 months if I recall so it wouldn't surprise me this will take as long, though perhaps shorter.

The 8-Bit Raider · Dec 28, 2017

Hmmm...this is going to get very interesting, very fast.

Baron Von Beans · Dec 28, 2017

Hell yes, can't wait to what the next update will bring. Each update has continuously topped the previous, this gon' b good.

Dirtyshubb · Dec 28, 2017

Great news to hear, reading along with the original was riveting and the update was a lot of fun to play through.

Be interesting to see what's next, most likely an update to the multilayer I assume.

Pennybags · Dec 28, 2017

I'd love to see what comes from this. I gotta get plugged into the ARG from the beginning this time around.

Kalor · Dec 28, 2017

I was just thinking about the last arg a few days ago. I'm curious what they'll do this time.

Psoelberg · Dec 28, 2017

Well the last ARG turned out to be rather amazing with lots of new content, so this is could be really interesting.

chainlinkspiral · Dec 28, 2017

Multiplayer coming. I also think a VR mode would be hype.

Deleted member 7450 · Dec 28, 2017

NICE! :D

Don't have the time nor patience to invest in the ARG, but the update? JUST HOOK INTO MY VEINS!
Patiently waiting. :)

Lys Skygge · Dec 28, 2017

Awesome! The last update got me excited to play again. I would love it if they finally added a fully functional multiplayer mode.

Lukar · Dec 28, 2017

Seeing the support this game keeps getting makes me want to try it. Not sure how much I'll actually like it, but the fact that it wasn't abandoned and seems to have gotten a dedicated group of fans makes me interested.

Thanks for explaining it ;)

Back to NMS. Finished game (100% and platinum trophy) back in January and since then launched game only once maybe twice around 1.3x updates if some new conent is coming i might get sucked into No Man Sky again hehe ^_%

Darkgran · Dec 28, 2017

Is this game good now?

Been thinking about picking it up...

Very good now Imo. This is probably the big MP update too

.exe · Dec 28, 2017

Nice! Looks like I'll be jumping back into NMS again in a few months. Just when I thought I was out, it drags me back in!

At this point, there's enough to read and watch about NMS to get a great idea of if it's the type of game you'll enjoy. Generally, it seems that people who "like that sort of thing" (exploration, crafting, trading) have really liked it, especially with the post-launch changes.

For me, it's something that I like having installed, that I can dip back into and fly around a bit, especially when an update drops.

MP could be huge here too and keep me playing a lot more often

KCroxtonJr · Dec 28, 2017

Interesting that the new command says 1.5 instead of 1.4...

I'm in.

Lol, thanks for bringing my attention to this thread, I would have missed it otherwise.

Looks like my "it's about time for another update" was spot on!

We only have one point of reference, which lasted from around June to August. Honestly I think this one will be shorter though, because people are already primed for the ARG.

Also I would highly suggest playing through the new story, as it directly relates to the ARG's story and the next update will probably be built on that.

Kalentan · Dec 28, 2017

Oooooooo.

Last one was really fun. Hyped.

kodax_shc · Dec 28, 2017

I dive back in for a few weeks after every update so I am excited to see what they have planned next. Close to the platinum trophy too.

Lamptramp · Dec 28, 2017

Oooo subscribing to this and no mistake, the last ARG was great and the update was excellent too.

eyeball_kid · Dec 28, 2017

Damn, I just now saw this! The last part of the ARG was pretty impressive and so was the NMS update, so I can't wait to see what's next! I wonder if the "1.5" means they really are skipping 1.4 because it's so big.

Blackleg-sanji1 · Dec 28, 2017

It's time again baby!!

Blackthorn · Dec 28, 2017

Yeeees gimme a flora and fauna update so I can lose 100 hours of my life again.
