Hello Games has launched a new update called 'Aquarius' for No Man’s Sky, introducing fishing as a new activity.

This update follows the recent 'Worlds Part I' update, which significantly enhanced the game's visual experience and increased player engagement.

The Aquarius expedition lasts approximately six weeks and allows players to earn deep-sea customization parts and exclusive fishing equipment.

Players must complete five phases of the expedition, with each phase containing seven to eight milestones that provide resources for progression.

New gameplay mechanics include different types of bait for catching rare fish, traps, deep water platforms, and new recipes.

The update also introduces new trophies, fishing logs to complete, and equipment rewards related to fishing.

A new deep-sea diving suit enhances the fishing experience by allowing players to explore underwater environments more closely.

The Aquarius update is part of a broader trend of improvements following the successful 'Worlds Part 1' release, which revitalized player interest.

Players can utilize new customizable water vehicles called Exo-Skiffs to access deeper waters where specific fish can be found.

The update allows players to explore the galaxy for fishing spots, catch a variety of fish, earn trophies, and complete fishing logs.

Hello Games plans to further expand the fishing mechanic in future updates, potentially introducing more equipment, competitions, and fish species.
