No Man’s Sky Dev Reveals New Open World Game Light No Fire

No Man's Sky enjoyed one of the most renowned redemption arcs in recent video game history. Developer Hello Games went from being hounded to deceive fans to devoting itself to doing a complete 180. The British studio has just revealed its next project.

Not on the same scale as NMS

Announced at this year's Game Awards, the creative minds behind galactic exploration game No Man's Sky have announced Light No Fire. The teaser shows a fantasy world described as a “procedural” and “unexplored” land, made up of skeletons, warriors and dragons.

A post on Twitter indicates that the studio has been working on it for five years. This is in addition to releasing frequent and important updates to NMS. Not much is known about the new game yet, but it seems to be sticking to a more open world than an open universe.

Light No Fire is billed as a multiplayer title that seems to place a lot of emphasis on adventure and exploration, something Hello Games is becoming known for.

Of course, some might hold back any enthusiasm for the moment. We all remember what happened during the promotion of No Man's Sky before its release in 2016. Many were disappointed – even misled – by head of developers Sean Murray.

Fortunately, the years have been kind. The game is now not only in a much better state, but it almost exceeds expectations. Today, he enjoys a devoted fan base.

Murray says he and his team have definitely learned a lesson since those dark days. We can only hope that Light No Fire will be as acclaimed as No Man's Skyeven if it took a long time to get there.
