As revealed by the developer, players will get access to the Pioneers, the first Expedition of the game as of today until December 7, when the Normandy Expedition will kick-off for 14 days. Later in December, players will get their hands on Cartographer, and eventually, earlier in January 2022, Emergence will be available as the last returning Expedition.

Along with this announcement, Hello Games also shared the NMS update 3.73 patch notes.
