Indeed!
Also, since Sega was mentioned earlier, this is now stuck in my head, so thanks for that

Oh, phew. I thought it was going to be… DAAAAY TOOOOO NAAAAAA! Sorry…
Development Update
Our last update was WORLDS PART I just a few weeks ago. It resulted in our biggest player numbers in over 5 years. Eight years in and we feel so lucky to have so many folks still care about this game we love. It gives our tiny team energy, making us want to pour more into the No Man’s Sky universe.
Something people really loved in the Worlds update was the new water technology – tons of players were posting videos of themselves just chilling at the water’s edge. One piece of fan art in particular stopped us in our tracks, of a player lazily fishing from their wing of their starship. This art, and others like it, was right at the heart of the inspiration behind the Aquarius update.
I know its something they clearly did not jus throw together in a few weeks and was certainly already on the cards, but this does read a little bit like
“Guys, wait… Remove the word summer from the Worlds Part 1 update, drop everything, we need to pivot to fishing NOW!”
So if sean ever tweets a fish or rod emoji, its safe to assume THAT will be the Archaeology update/Expedition

Sean is urning more teaser points!
I’d love it if the ancient vases related both to significant under"water" enhancements as well as greatly improved ruins.
I’ve always thought that ruins could be more extensive, more items to discover, etc.
I also think it would be fun to get community involvement in piecing together artifacts or even buried bones to make up a skeleton.

I know I said I’m not too pushed either way about fishing mechanics in games… but you give me a bunch of unique somethings to catch and you awaken my inner pokemon child. I have no choice but to fish now.
I just looked at the list in the Wonders Catalogue and every shilouette my brain went “Who’s that pokemon!?”

I know the amphora 
had everyone thinking we were getting an archaeology expedition. If it’s any consolation, we sort of got our Indiana Jones dreams in the form of a “bull whip” animation with the fishing rig 
with worlds part two apparently adding new POIs and new ways to play I was thinking it’s probably going to come with an overhaul to the mission agent.
That guy needs new missions types at least, there’s been a few new features added he still doesn’t really request and with more on the way, this seems like the perfect opportunity.
I don’t see this as speculation but an absolute given, Mission Agent will definitely get some love with Worlds Part 2.
