Kotaku • • technology
Key Points:
- Light No Fire, an open-world survival game from Hello Games, was first revealed over two years ago as a shift from the studio’s sci-fi No Man’s Sky to a fantasy RPG with a massive planet simulation.
- Director Sean Murray initially planned to reveal more details about the game six months after the 2023 trailer, but decided against further marketing after the game quickly rose to number two on the Steam wishlist charts.
- Unlike the heavy promotion during No Man’s Sky’s launch, Murray now prefers a low-profile approach, focusing on development without external pressure or extensive marketing.
- The Hello Games team, about 50 employees strong, has been ready to show more of Light No Fire for some time, but Murray emphasizes the game's ambitious scope and prefers to work quietly until it’s ready.
- Murray continues to play Light No Fire regularly and integrates its technology into No Man’s Sky updates, but he has not provided a release window or confirmed when the game will be publicly revealed again.
