Sean Murray’s follow-up to an infinite sci-fi universe is a single planet—but it’s a big one.
It may seem strange for a developer that created a galaxy filled with trillions of planets to follow it up with a game where there’s only one. But No Man’s Sky developer Hello Games is doing just that: Light No Fire, its next open world survival adventure, will be contained to a single planet. Thing is, that planet is big. Real big.
No Man’s Sky was huge in a lot of ways. It was a huge hit, a huge controversy, and it was just plain huge in nature: a galaxy with more procedurally generated planets than millions of players could ever explore in a lifetime. But making a game that takes place on a single planet is still plenty ambitious, because that planet is legit the size of Earth.
Interested? Yeah, we are too. Here’s everything we know about Light No Fire, including its announcement trailer, gameplay details, and a few quotes from Hello Games founder Sean Murray.Light No Fire has no release date yet (sorry)
The release date of Light No Fire has yet to be announced, and at this stage we don’t even have a release window locked down. The game was announced at The Game Awards in 2023, where Sean Murray said Light No Fire had been in development for „the last five years.“
With now seven years of development time, we hope it won’t be too much longer to wait, but if Light No Fire is coming out in 2025, 2026, or beyond, we simply don’t know yet.
