No Man's Sky - What's Confirmed?
I'm starting a new thread of "What's Confirmed?" for No Man's Sky (NMS). This could be for things that are confirmed in the game or confirmed to NOT be in the game. Anything you list should be linked to a site that backs up what you are confirming. Please use info that has been confirmed in the last 3 months. Something from over a year ago could have changed by now.
