The core focus of Worlds Part II was to revolutionize the underwater environments within No Man’s Sky. Previously, the oceans and lakes didn't hold much appeal for players, offering little more than hidden resources and the option to build bases. But now, with deeper oceans that plunge into eternal darkness and high pressure, the underwater world has become a thrilling frontier. Special suit modules have been introduced to help players survive these challenging conditions, with a new pressure level indicator to guide them during dives.
The darkness below the surface is offset by bioluminescent flora and fauna, with corals and creatures emitting their own light. Shallow water lighting has also been revamped, enhancing the visual appeal of these areas.

Accessing these new systems requires completing the storyline and acquiring a specialized engine. The journey is well worth it, as these systems house some of the game's most valuable resources. Gas giants, with their rocky cores, present a unique challenge with their storms, lightning, radiation, and extreme temperatures.
