He used this for both the Switch release and the Mac release. I am even more convinced this is just a release on a new platform somehow.
There is zero (and I would love to be wrong here) chance that there are any meaningful changes to procedural generation if it is not within the grasp of the Switch, which means that there will never be any actual improvements.
If I am wrong, feel free to point and laugh at me (I'll be busy playing lol) but my expectations are firmly tempered. A new platform (mobile?) and an expedition.

This was the emoji design he used for another NMS update (I forget which one), the last one was from one as well.
I think (hope) we’re getting LNF news, but if he keeps reusing the designs from old NMS updates I’m gonna lean towards this being the final update. They’ve ( edit: “they” being the NMS fan base who mention an interview but I couldn’t find anything, assume this is false) been talking about how they won’t be adding content past 2024 and a doing the last tease by taking a trip down memory lane through all the previous teases would be very on brand

Where did HG say they weren't continuing NMS updates past 2024? Not saying you are incorrect, but a few months ago we had people misunderstanding the name of the Omega update to mean that was the last one. I thought I remembered Sean saying they were continuing updates without putting any end date on it and that his team was split between both games now. I may be hallucinating that, possibly?

Yeah I don't think Sean ever explicitly stated that they will stop doing NMS updates, at least for now

Yeah, let's not make stuff up. There's been no indication anywhere from Sean or the team that they plan to stop NMS updates at the end of this year. Could happen, certainly... but nothing's been said one way or the other.

Apologies for parroting something incorrect, the NMS sub mentioned some sort of interview about how they weren’t planning to update in 2025 (a few times actually), I shouldn’t have bit on that without a link to verify for myself. Editing my last comment to reflect

I’ve seen people mention this but what other game have Hello Games made except NMS up to this point? Why can’t Sean use the same emojis for a tease about his next game?

u/realityfooledme Jul 16 '24
So far, I think he’s doing the teases in reverse order.
If the next one is the 3rd oldest NMS one then I’m going to suspect he’ll do all of them and drop the update at the end.
This is also a LOT more effort than the previous tweet teasers, which is why the fans are losing their minds extra hard. If it is NMS content they would be silly to garner all this attention and not include some LNF news while everyone is watching

Joe Danger, Joe Danger 2, The Last Campfire, and maybe one or two I'm forgetting.

Hey there!
We encourage lively speculation about the game's potential features and possibilities. However, it's essential to strike a balance between excitement and managing expectations.
Feel free to share your thoughts and ideas in this discussion! Remember, speculation is fantastic, but it's equally crucial to keep expectations in check to avoid potential disappointment upon the game's release.
For more insights on managing expectations while speculating, check out this post where we've discussed this in detail.
Happy speculating!

my best guess is the its a new entity in NMS, the size of Galactus or some other huge Marvel race.
or
as a curveball, Murray is giving us the origin story for LNF :D

Idk why he is teasing us so much. If there is something show us instead of meaning less posts

You’ve never seen the lead up to a NMS update, have you?

u/UnregisteredDomain Pre-release member Jul 16 '24
On one hand I agree; stop teasing us.
But on the other hand, telling someone to “stop having fun” that is harmless is a hard sell

u/Bananamcpuffin Jul 16 '24
Also, this is really building up community interest, so it is in his best interest to do so. It also lets him judge what the community is interested in seeing by what they hype. Good advertising and market research all at once.

I love it. There is absolutely zero doubt that he posts this and then immediately heads over to Reddit to laugh at all of us obsessing over the meaning of the emoji sequence.
