What is the Story of No Man’s Sky Expedition 11: Voyagers
During No Man’s Sky Expedition 11: Voyagers, players will explore the universe and make amazing discoveries. It’s all about finding the most impressive flora and fauna on any planet players can find, recording those discoveries, and uploading them for others to see.
The Expedition will also involve the new robotic race, the Autophage. These people are all over the universe and have various secrets to unlock by interacting with Monoliths or seeking out their hidden encampments. This will almost certainly play a huge role in the Expedition as players move through each Phase.
Is No Man’s Sky Expedition 11 Redux: Voyagers The Same as The Original?
Yes, No Man’s Sky Expedition 11 Redux: Voyagers is exactly the same as the original, which ran in September 2023. The Redux name simply means it’s a rerun of a past Expedition and helps show players that they’re not missing out on the next Expedition or update in the game. However, Redux Expeditions have a much shorter run time, so players must complete them quickly if they want the rewards on offer.
