'No Man's Sky' Release Date Set for 2015, Gameplay Trailer Released
Hello Games' upcoming science fiction and adventure game "No Man's Sky" has been set for a release date sometime next year and founder Sean Murray is building up anticipation for the game.
"No Man's Sky" is coming out to the PlayStation 4 next year and will be available there exclusively before being released to PCs. There has been no date on when it will be available for the Xbox One.
During an interview with Game Informer, Murray also teased more information on "No Man's Sky" to heighten anticipation ahead of its arrival next year.
Murray said that the game's universe was "infinite" with its millions of planets that the player can explore at their leisure, though he admitted there was no version of Earth available in the game. The massiveness of it is the reason why they decided not to release any type of DLC or downloadable content for the game.
Murray also shared that there the players can control their characters at their leisure, turn them into pacifists or start wars and can also swim. He cautioned players on keeping track of the health bar though to make sure they can continue exploring the planets.
He also said that there were a number of things that can't be done in the game, such as collecting plants, building a space station, building a shelter, riding a dinosaur or choosing their character's gender. Also, the players only have one ship which is non-customizable, but he said there are black holes that can help players travel in space for as long as they want.
To further anticipation for the "No Man's Sky," the game's trailer was also released at the PlayStation Experience held in Las Vegas, which has also been recently uploaded to the PSX YouTube account.
The trailer, titled "A Night Under No Man's Sky," showed off clips of the gameplay and close-up action of the game which is accompanied by a "haunting" and "alien-esque" music by the indie band 65daysofstatic as they rocked out in concert.
