Sometimes, your wildest dreams really can come true; just ask streamer Gothalion, who just had a near-two-year-old request become reality.<\/p>\n

The creator posted on X<\/a> in September 2024 about a new feature he wanted to see in No Man’s Sky<\/a>, and developer Hello Games made it real in the game’s most recent update.<\/p>\n

“The only thing missing from [No Man’s Sky] is the Pokemon update,” Gothalion wrote in his post. “Let me catch, train and battle creatures I find. Put an arena in the anomaly. You can do it, Sean.”<\/p>\n

Well, it turns out Sean Murray and his team could in fact do it, because that’s exactly what the game’s new Xeno Arena update is all about.<\/p>\n

In a great full-circle moment, Murray responds to Gothalion’s post with a simple statement \u2014 “We did it.”<\/p>\n

It’s obviously unknown whether that post from 2024 inspired anyone within Hello Games to pursue the Pok\u00e9mon-like update or if it was in the works anyway, but still, it’s fun to see stuff like this come to pass.<\/p>\n

The update is available now, free for all players, and you can read more about it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
