FULL STORY
======================================================================

Easily one of the most surprising announcements from this years The Game 
Awards was Light No Fire , a brand-new survival adventure game by No Mans Sky 
developer Hello Games. 

Set on a giant shared fantasy world, Light No Fire is set to offer a truly 
planet-size open environment with a scale far beyond anything that weve seen 
from a game before. In addition to showcasing some of that world in the first 
trailer for the game, The Game Awards host Geoff Keighley interviewed Hello 
Games founder Sean Murray live on stage. 

Although it only lasted for a couple of minutes, the interview shed some 
light on what players can expect from the upcoming title. For the last five 
years weve been working on something new, Murray explains, something very 
different, something maybe more ambitious. 

For our new game, we wanted to create an Earth, he continued. A planet that 
is as varied as a universe. Something thats bigger than Earth. Something with 
real mountains, not video game mountains, but mountains that are miles high 
[and] taller than Everest. 

The first real open world. Something without boundaries and were going to let 
everyone play in it together. Its a place where people can live out their 
adventures together. You can watch the full interview from The Game Awards 
below. 

These lofty ambitions seem very much in line with the kind of things that we 
saw said about No Mans Sky before its release back in 2018. Despite plenty of 
big promises, that game ended up being a bit of a disappointment and garnered 
very mixed reactions from both fans and critics. 

In the years since, however, Hello Games has worked tirelessly to bring the 
game up to original expectations, with near-constant content updates and a 
huge number of free expansions. With this in mind, were optimistic that 
lessons have been learned and that Hello Games can deliver something truly 
special with Light No Fire .
