Hello Games created a universe filled with 18 quintillion planets for No Man's Sky, but for its next game, it's focusing its attention on just one. Light No Fire is the name of the studio's next major project, and it's described as an open world multiplayer survival RPG, with an entire planet the size of Earth to explore.
The announcement trailer above features some early gameplay, in which a sprawling landscape is explored by several players together. This effectively looks like an MMO of sorts; you can travel with pals, construct buildings, ride mounts, and more in what seems to be an open world without barriers.
It's essentially the same vision for No Man's Sky, but contained into one planet. Because the size of the world is so vast, you'll be able to make true discoveries, finding locations, objects, or creatures no one else has seen before. It sounds very ambitious, but we've been here before — hopefully Hello Games can deliver a good experience on day one this time.
There are no platforms confirmed as of now, but we'd expect it to come to PS5. What do you make of Light No Fire? Tell us in the comments section below.

Look pretty fun. Can't wait to play it.
Assuming Microsoft doesn't buy Hello Games and make it Xbox exclusive, because that something I have to always live in fear of now.
My most hyped game now. I've been with NMS since the very start and its grown to be one of my favourite ever games. I've been itching to know what the big new project was and i'm so happy with what they showed and revealed.
I have to believe they learned their lesson and won't over hype then not deliver at launch. They won't get a second chance if it launches in the same state nms did compared to hype.
Just got into No Man's Sky and loving it! So I can't wait to check out this game, and any other games they come up with!
I loved no man's sky and the ps5 upgrade was brilliant so I'll give this a serious consideration when it drops.
The premise of thisbskujds incredible, a map to explore the size of earth 😮, with games with big maps I like to explore every area so I don't miss anything so sound like this game will take me years.
Jaw dropping. I need more friends…
You can say whatever you like about Hello Games, but they never lack ambition 🤣
Too bad we can't get something like this as a single player offline game.
@Enuo
Sony does the same thing.
Buys studios to keep games that should be muli-platform
Pays studios back-handedly to keep content that should be multi-platform
I can see aspects of the no man's sky formula translating to this really well. This one could turn out to be a gem. Especially with all that studio has learned over they years of support expansion and refinement put into NMS.
DEFINITELY keeping my eye on this one.
Fingers crossed VR is implemented early
Day one purchase.
When I saw this all I could think of was the San Andreas meme. I was there for the launch of No Mans Sky and it was a very dire situation for Hello Games and Sean seemed fairly shell-shocked announcing this game. I hope they don't get any pressure from the media, their publisher, or fans, to launch until it's 100% ready.
I'm in. I'm ready to just wander around and find cool stuff. Probably the closest I'll ever get to discovering and exploring a new planet. Hopefully if there's any PvP it's optional, I just want to wander around and explore. I'd probably just be playing solo scouting ahead and building shelters and camps for people along the way.
PSVR2 please!
My first plan of action will be to build a marker and start heading east, imma circumnavigate this planet! Might even make useful structures along the way; crafting stations, supply caches, message buoys...
Really cannot wait for this.
