Hello Games have released a new trailer that reveals a first look at the multiplayer gameplay coming next week to their Sci-Fi exploration game No Man’s Sky. The massive new NEXT update will release on 24th July alongside the highly anticipated Xbox One version of the game (although us European Xbox owners will have to wait another 3 days).
The NEXT update arrives next week and brings with it a huge amount of new content including the highly requested multiplayer mode.

Build bases anywhere on any planet, with hundreds of new base parts added to the game
Create bigger and better bases than ever before, with dramatically increased base building complexity and size limits
Architect and own multiple bases - Command Freighters:
Assemble and upgrade a fleet of frigates and command them from the bridge of your freighter
Send your fleet out to into the universe or deploy them to help you as you explore a specific system
Build a truly custom capital ship with improved freighter base building
Invite your friends aboard and take on challenging multiplayer missions from the Galactic Commission Station on your bridge
