'No Man's Sky' Release Date News: June 2016 Outing Date Confirmed By Hello Games
As recently announced, Hello Games' highly-anticipated open-universe survival adventure game "No Man's Sky" will be hitting the store shelves this June 2016.
At the Paris Games Week press conference this week, Sean Murray of Hello Games confirmed the game's official release date. In a follow-up statement posted over at the PlayStation blog site, Murray talked about the incredible hard work that he and the team had done to realize the the game.
"This is a game that means everything to our team. I have wanted to play something like No Man's Sky since I was a kid, and many of you have told me you feel the same. For all of us, we get one shot to make this game and we can't mess it up. Our small team knows the world is watching, we've come from the bottom and we don't take it lightly," he said.

During Sony's inaugural event, Hello Games was also kind enough to drop a new trailer (see below) for the game. It opens up with a narration from a character presumed to be a space traveller. Scenes followed showing the vastness of the galaxies, the strangeness of the planets with their own weird-looking inhabitants.
Far from what has been previously thought, the game is also up to feature some "battles to be fought" as the clip rolls on to show several space ships zooming overhead, attacking what appears to be a mother ship. First-person combat in the planet's surface should also be expected, as the teaser suggests.
Perhaps one of the main goals of the players in the game is for them to explore and name for themselves literally everything that their eyes can set upon. That is unless the planet or creature weren't being taken by another player.
However, the possibility of running out is far from being imagined. Murray previously said, during an interview with Stephen Colbert in The Late Show With Stephen Colbert on CBS, that the algorithm of the game would allow it to generate "18 quintillion planets."
He added that the number is so large that even if a planet was being discovered every second, the Sun in this real life will already be burned out before the game's universe will run out of planets to go.
"No Man's Sky" will be launched for PlayStation 4 and PC in the next year. Stay tuned for more updates.
