Nearly a decade after its release, No Man’s Sky continues to get updates from developer Hello Games. Now, Voyagers, one of the latest updates for No Man’s Sky, has inspired something special for the company’s next game, Light No Fire. According to Hello Games co-founder Sean Murray, innovations in No Man’s Sky will lead to a large ocean to explore and an even bigger planet.
“Much of the technology we’re introducing with [No Man’s Sky: Voyagers] is shared with our next game, Light No Fire, which is a truly open world, a shared Earth-sized planet, with real oceans to traverse, needing large boats and crews,” Murray told PC Gamer. “We love that we get to share this technology with players early.”
Hello Games debuted the first look at Light No Fire in late 2023, and Murphy called it “the first real open world.” Unlike its predecessor, the entire game takes place on a single world inhabited by all of the players in the game. Voyagers was the first No Man’s Sky update to include the possibility of making ships that are big enough to feature multiple player- characters as part of the crew.
“The technical challenges [programmers] have had to overcome to make any of this possible have been immense,” added Murray. “Almost every part of the game has had to be reworked to accommodate these relative spaces.”
Voyagers is out now, and starting today through September 1, No Man’s Sky players can pick up some items through Twitch drops.
