After teasing some genuinely enticing elements of No Man’s Sky for a while now, Hello Games have announced that their space action sandbox game will be available for purchase from June 2016.
No Man’s Sky is shaping up to be a promising game which rewards exploration across a universe that boasts over 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 (18 quintillion) possible planets which are procedurally generated. All this exploration is set to be provided seamlessly with no loading screens, whether you’re flying from space to a planet’s surface of even warping between solar systems.
While exploration is one facet to No Man’s Sky, complemented by a Galactic Map which allows you to share your discoveries (planets, solar systems, lifeforms etc) with other players and even name them, this is not the only thing that Hello Games plans to offer players. It is also possible to take part in space combat or trade resources across the galaxy.
In development for the PlayStation 4 and Windows PC platforms, No Man’s Sky is set for release on an unspecified date in June 2016.
