The Game Awards 2023 has gone as quickly as it came, but all those announcements won’t soon be forgotten. While some of us slept soundly, incredible industry news swept the community, with a lot of upcoming games hyped up to unreachable heights.
After what happened with Starfield, gamers are scared that No Man’s Sky’s Sean Murray is overhyping the follow-up to the survival game, titled Light No Fire.
Have you seen what's been promised in Light No Fire?

In truth, it isn’t just the recent fall from grace that Bethesda’s newest game suffered that has people worried, it’s the all-too-real memories of how No Man’s Sky overpromised prior to its release. Granted, the game has since improved dramatically, but the initial reception was one of disappointment. With Murray saying that Light No Fire is “even more ambitious”, people are on tenterhooks.
One such worried gamer took to Twitter, begging Murray not to promise more than can be delivered; it’s had over 60k likes, with that total continuing to climb as more people panic about the end product of Light No Fire.
Another social media user commented with similar concerns, saying, “No way in hell this game is gonna be as good as he’s describing.” To which someone else said, “I at least trust him to make the game better,” with them obviously referring to the leaps and bounds No Man’s Sky has made since its launch back in 2016.
For us, the jury is still out on whether Hello Games can deliver exactly what they’ve described. It’s not that we believe the devs aren’t passionate about this upcoming game, but rather we’re concerned if they’ve learnt from previous mistakes.
Sporting an Earth-sized environment “never attempted before”, this is a game that seems to be taking cues from GTA 6 as it tries to “push limits” of what games are capable of. We only hope that Hello Games succeeds with this new project.
