Here it is again, here it is again. Sean MurrayManaging Director of HelloGames, known for his motivation and his strong propensity to share it with those around him, is back to talk to us about his next project, which already looks very ambitious. While the new update of No Man’s Sky, “Outlaws”, just released this Wednesday, April 13, 2022, inviting players to take part in smuggling operations, it is the future of the studio that is at the center of the conversation here.
A project that seems “impossible” even for a thousand developers
It was during an interview withIGN that the words are out. This new project would have nothing to do directly or indirectly with No Man’s Skyexcept for its once again excessive ambition, as well as the grandiloquent communication of its director Sean Murray:
“We’ve been working on something quite ambitious in the background for a while now. It’s a small team, but that’s what we like. Like No Man’s Sky, it’s the kind of project that, even if a thousand people worked on it, would still seem impossible. »
Of course, we will take this statement with a grain of salt, No Man’s Sky being sadly known for not having kept its (too) many promises at the time of its release. However, 6 years and many updates later, Hello Games’ game can boast to have become a very complete space adventure to the loyal community.
This new project would be in development since September 2021 and would not impinge on the follow-up to the previous one. Having acquired significant experience in recent years, we can only hope that Hello Games has truly learned from its mistakes, and will be able to offer a game at launch worthy of the name.
Waiting, No Man’s Sky is still available on PS4, PS5, Xbox one, Xbox Series (Xbox Game Pass) and PC. And we now know that a Switch version will be released this summer.
