Sean Murray, founder of Hello Games, shared details about the studio's upcoming game, Light No Fire, at The Game Awards. Described as even more ambitious than No Man's Sky, Light No Fire is an open-world fantasy multiplayer game set in a massive world.
While it bears some resemblance to No Man's Sky, Light No Fire appears to focus on a single, immense world rather than multiple procedurally generated worlds. Murray emphasized that it is "the first real open world," boasting mountains taller than Everest.
The gameplay trailer briefly showcased the building mechanics, flying on birds, dragons, and other creatures, as well as a variety of fantasy races.
No specific release date was announced for the new game, but Hello Games hinted at more updates for No Man's Sky. Sean Murray revealed that Light No Fire has been quietly in development for the past five years, and he is optimistic that it will have a lasting impact similar to No Man's Sky, lasting for the next 10 years and beyond.
