[xy_game]This was slightly unexpected. After seeing so much of the game in action, and so much coverage in recent months, Hello Games has pushed back No Man’s Sky to the end of the summer season.
After a short delay, No Man’s Sky will launch in North America on August 9, in Europe August 10, and in the UK August 12.
Sean Murray was sympathetic with the fans and released the following statement:
We understand that this news is disappointing. Making this game is the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life, but we are so close now, and we’re prepared to make the tough choices to get it right.
The universe of No Man’s Sky is incredibly vast. More than you can imagine. This is a type of game that hasn’t been attempted before, by a smaller team than anyone would expect, under an intense amount of expectation.
And despite all of that, development is genuinely going well. This is the hardest working, most talented team I’ve ever worked with, and I’m so proud of what we’re doing. For all our sakes though, we get one shot to make this game and we can’t mess it up.
To the loyal community who’s stuck by our side since the unveiling of No Man’s Sky years ago, we hope you’ll accept our sincere apology and I am humbly asking that you’ll still look forward to exploring our universe despite the slight delay.
Thank you so much,
Sean
We’re still excited about the game though, and let’s be honest… we don’t want to be stuck inside during the summer to play games when there’s so much fun to be had outside. Stay tuned for more information on No Man’s Sky.
