Hello, Sean Murray from Hello Games here, working extremely hard on our game, No Man’s Sky.
The game really has come together, and it’s such an incredible relief. As we sit an play it now, and as I watch playtesters every day, I can finally let myself get excited. We’re actually doing this.
However, as we approached our final deadlines, we realized that some key moments needed extra polish to bring them up to our standards. I have had to make the tough choice to delay the game for a few weeks to allow us to deliver something special.
After a short delay, No Man’s Sky will launch in North America on August 9, in Europe August 10, and in the UK August 12.
We understand that this news is disappointing. Making this game is the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life, but we are so close now, and we’re prepared to make the tough choices to get it right.
The universe of No Man’s Sky is incredibly vast. More than you can imagine. This is a type of game that hasn’t been attempted before, by a smaller team than anyone would expect, under an intense amount of expectation.
And despite all of that, development is genuinely going well. This is the hardest working, most talented team I’ve ever worked with, and I’m so proud of what we’re doing. For all our sakes though, we get one shot to make this game and we can’t mess it up.
To the loyal community who’s stuck by our side since the unveiling of No Man’s Sky years ago, we hope you’ll accept our sincere apology and I am humbly asking that you’ll still look forward to exploring our universe despite the slight delay.
Thank you so much,
Sean
This to me is unexceptable. This game was supposed to come out last year, in the 4th Quarter. Then you make us wait a year, Just to push it back again? Whats next, If its not right, January just to make sure. I am happy at this point I havnt spent money on it. Cause I wont. I am not buying this game no matter how much fun it looks. I am sick of waiting for it. it was 3 weeks away and you couldn’t just patch it. This is unfair to people who Pre ordered, and people who have been waiting years for it. So good luck, I wont be buying it.
Dude, they’ve only announced a date once. All those times it was “supposed” to come out was nothing but fan base conjecture.
