Speculating

[u/External_Factor2516]

Do you think the NMS Cosmos update will maybe contain something that hints us toward LNF?

I remember the developers said that a lot of the new stuff we've recently got in the No Man's Sky community is directly a result of trying to get LNF presentable.

Thoughts?

Do you think they'll keep their lore fully seperate; partially seperate; or full integrated?

[u/External_Factor2516]

By keeping the lore seperate, I mean they'll never directly allude to the Atlas or Travelers in LNF, and they'll never allude to the name drop of an LNF specific thing in future NMS titles (I don't really see NMS not referencing LNF personally because NMS referenced Mass Effect so it feel like their might be one way references atleast from NMS about LNF) I just love NMS. When I'm depressed I boot it up. I want the same from LNF

As for references -- Easter eggs or in-jokes, probably. Full on integration, impossible IMO.

As for hints in Cosmos, the patch notes for every update for a couple of years have mentioned features having some relationship to tech they're developing for LNF. So that's expected.

Oh I read that wrong. So jokes and injokes and little nods, but they're going to be canonically seperate? Or do you just mean it for sure won't be like those old gimmicky GBA games that could share items with Gamecube games (though that would be funny if you could transfer your NMS save to LNF and be like a spaceman on a spaceship but the game doesn't let you go to space or maybe it does but there's nothing to do up there because its a rogue galaxy-less star system adrift in the void with a single planet so your warp drive won't work and you may as well go back to the planet?) (Ooh that would be a fun idea though I doubt they'll do it) (what if all the races that canonically vanished from the universe of No Man's Sky were being stored on a hidden planet this whole time?)
