Sean Murray Says Light No Fire Is 3 Years Past Reveal, Still Withholds New Details

2 articles · Updated · Eurogamer.net · Aug 10

Summary

  • Hello Games is "working really hard" on Light No Fire, and Sean Murray said the game is already far enough along that most studios would be showing much more by now.
  • Murray still declined to say when players will see more, saying he learned from No Man's Sky not to talk publicly about projects too early despite being excited by what the team plays every day.
  • That restraint extends a nearly 3-year silence since Light No Fire's 2023 Game Awards reveal, with Murray also saying the game's No. 2 Steam wishlist position has reduced pressure to market it aggressively.
  • The comments came as No Man's Sky marks its 10th anniversary, with Murray also teasing another big update for the 2016 space sim while Hello Games continues work on its fantasy follow-up.
