Light No Fire is the next project from Hello Games, the studio behind No Man's Sky, currently in development for PC. The game remains largely shrouded in mystery, with the team deliberately limiting public reveals despite significant Steam wishlist interest. Sean Murray has indicated the project is progressing well after seven years of development, though he's adopted a cautious approach to marketing following his experiences with No Man's Sky's troubled launch.
The studio has maintained radio silence for over two years, a strategy that proved unexpectedly effective when the game quickly accumulated wishlists following a 2023 teaser. Murray has characterized Light No Fire as ambitious and crazy in scope, positioning it similarly to No Man's Sky with post-launch support planned. Hello Games' small team - between 12 and 20 developers - mirrors the size of the original No Man's Sky crew, and Murray has expressed his intention to continue supporting the game for a decade after release if possible.
