Hello Games, the studio behind No Man’s Sky, is directing their gaze away from the infinite promise of space in the upcoming Light No Fire, a game that promises to reproduce a single planet that dwarfs the one that we live on. That includes all the climbable mountains, some of which are “miles high, taller than Everest,” according to the project lead.
“For No Man’s Sky, we generated a whole universe of sparse alien-looking planets and that wasn’t easy,” explains founder Sean Murray during The Game Awards. “It was hard, but there is something much harder that we wanted to do.” That something is Light No Fire, a game that generates the “first real open world” in video games, on a single fantasy planet that’s “bigger than Earth” and “without boundaries.”
Light No Fire will have you explore uncharted terrain with a party of friends, stumble upon a cute town filled with NPCs, or capture some flying mounts for easier transport.
But Murray seemed more excited about the prospect of scaling huge mountains, despite all the flying in the trailer. “Something with mountains. Real mountains, not video game mountains but mountains that are miles high, taller than Everest that when you climb to the top of them and look out, you can see rivers and canyons and continents.” Doing so on foot could even take you hours.
No matter how big Light No Fire is upon release, the studio hopes it can add to the game for the next decade, just as it has with No Man’s Sky. “This is a game I would like to still be updating ten years from now,” Murray mused. There’s no word on a release date for Light No Fire, but Murray says the game’s been in development for five years with twelve developers.
No Man’s Sky fans have been warning the developer to not overpromise and underdeliver, again. CD Projekt Red even joked about the developers’ shared redemption arcs .

There have been leaks left and right for several games and their companies this week. While the Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League leak has fallen out of the spotlight in favor of the Insomniac ransomware leaks, It was still a terrible leak for Rocksteady. In their case, these leaks are coming out a recent closed beta, as some testers have decided to break their NDAs and spoil parts of the game.
I love how Microsoft Flight Simulator exists in the background now, like the distant roar of an overhead flight path. Not only is it just nice to have a shiny, new version of one of the gaming OGs there to pick up and play at any time, every now and then it drops an absolutely gorgeous new trailer showing off some wild technical wizardry or hyper-detailed new cityscape. That's exactly what's happened now, with Flight Sim's latest update inviting you to pay a flying visit to an eclectic collection of European cities.
Seeing something from a series or franchise you love get the Lego set treatment is a pretty big deal, especially if you plan on buying those sets and building them yourself. Multiple elements from the Marvel and Star Wars universes have been turned into Lego, as has Mario and half the Mushroom Kingdom. All such big franchises that you might think since No Man's Sky isn't on that same level, it might not be considered for its very own Lego set, but that's where you're wrong.
The fierce battle for streaming rights rages on, and it looks like Disney+ has conquered when it comes to acquiring exclusivity on Hideo Kojima’s hotly anticipated documentary. Announced a little while ago – and premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival this summer – Hideo Kojima: Connecting Worlds is scheduled to release globally Spring 2024.
A word of caution to trainers usingPokémon Scarlet andViolet’s new Synchro Machine: The nifty feature that allows you play as a Pokémon will also let you knock out shiny Pokémon. So if you’re into shiny hunting, just make sure you take a closer look each time you decide to fight a wild Pokémon while using the mode.
The next film from the director of Annihilation, Ex Machina, and Men looks like a bad time at the movies. Civil War is writer-director Alex Garland pivoting from the intimate, provocative horror of Men to explosive, politically charged dread. The first trailer of Civil War, released Wednesday by A24, hints at what the studio is calling “an adrenaline-fueled thrill ride through a near-future fractured America balanced on the razors edge.”
At this moment in time, No Man’s Sky is easily one of the best sandbox games around. We’re long past those dark days when the overhyped game underdelivered to the pain of waiting fans. Now, with the holiday season upon us, Hello Games is giving us one more chance to replay this year’s limited-span content.
Easily one of the most surprising announcements from this year’s The Game Awards was Light No Fire, a brand-new survival adventure game by No Man’s Sky developer Hello Games.
