Nicely, it appears Gentle No Hearth, Howdy Video games’ follow-up to No Man’s Sky, continues to be an extended, lengthy methods off.
Howdy Video games founder Sean Murray made the case for No Man’s Sky profitable the Labor of Love award at this yr’s Steam Awards (h/t PC Gamer), and in doing so, gave a short – and sadly pretty discouraging – replace on Gentle No Hearth.
“Within the background, one other tiny crew at Howdy is continuous at tempo on our subsequent Labor of Love, Gentle No Hearth, and we all know plenty of you might be eager to listen to extra,” Murray wrote. “For now, it suffices to say that I’m actually happy with the progress we’re making and I feel it is going to be one thing actually particular. You may wishlist it right here.”
“Tiny crew”?!? Working “within the background”?!?!? Say it ain’t so, Sean. I have been desperate to get my palms on this sport because it was revealed in 2023, if solely as a result of I am dying to know whether or not it could dwell as much as Murray and his crew’s ambitions. He has known as the sport “a very open world, a shared Earth-sized planet, with actual oceans to traverse, needing giant boats and crews.” It wasn’t till a number of years post-launch that it felt like the complete imaginative and prescient for No Man’s Sky was realized, and I am cautiously hopeful that Howdy Video games can ship on Gentle No Hearth’s promise proper at launch.
No Man’s Sky lead jokes GTA 6’s spectacular flip-flop physics is likely to be why the sport is delayed, is straight away met by Gentle No Hearth hopefuls determined for an replace of their very own.
