No Man’s Sky ‘Relics’ Update Adds Bartering, Dig Site Adventures, And Skeletal Customization

The release schedule for No Man’s Sky has remained eventful roughly a decade since initially releasing. In late 2024, Hello Games rolled out updates that continue to keep the space exploration epic fresh. Then, the ‘Aquarius’ update introduced new water-focused endeavors including the long-anticipated fishing feature.

Additionally, players were also welcomed to ‘The Cursed’ which featured new time-altering anomalies & dimensional portals. The same title update also included alchemy potion brewing to match the theme. 2025 continued the previously ongoing ‘Worlds‘ Update with a second patchwork in January 2025. ‘Worlds Part II’ tooled in fresh biomes & gas giants to the core game.

This week, Hello Games returns with a new update for No Man’s Sky – ‘Relics’ You can watch the new update trailer in the video below:

“Sign up with the Galactic Palaeology Society and join the community on a journey to recreate ancient lifeforms and uncover secrets left undisturbed for millennia. […] Exhume a vast array of ancient bones, from ribcages plated to spiked, limbs dangling and grasping, skulls from warhounds, bogsnappers and titan worms, and an assortment of tails and tailbones – there are hundreds of unique fossilised parts to unearth,” the team writes.

“On planets where ancient bones can be found, or within purple star systems, skeletal fauna have risen from their fossil beds to roam their planetary homes once more. […] Prepare new bone-based recipes in the Nutrient Processor, to ingest for health and protective benefits, or to present to Iteration: Cronus for critique, judgement, and potential remuneration.”

It adds: “Visit Fossil Collectors aboard Space Stations to sell your created fossil exhibits – or trade some of your bones for any of their broad selection of fossils. Haggle and experiment to find the best deal! [..] Package assembled fossils into fused exhibits, conveniently stored in the Inventory. Reorganise your museum layout with ease, or gift your displays to other Travellers.”
