No Man’s Sky Launching June 21st on PS4

Hello PlayStation.Blog! I’m Sean Murray from Hello Games, part of the team making No Man’s Sky, with some exciting news for you: No Man’s Sky is launching on June 21st!

We’ve been a little quiet since we showed the game last year at E3, and it’s because we’ve been heads down and hard at work on development. It’s been a hectic but really exciting time for the team. Finishing a game is incredibly hard but lovely to watch as the pieces fall into place.

In No Man’s Sky you can trade, fight, explore, and survive in a boundless, computer-generated universe. It’s a vast, open game, and always a hard one to demonstrate quickly, but recently we let some people from the press loose in No Man’s Sky.

We pulled a few all-nighters this week in preparation! It was incredibly scary for us, but the moment we saw people start claiming discoveries, shouting and laughing at each other’s screens, we knew the hard work was paying off, and could collapse contentedly in the corner.

They got to see new features like how to survive on hazardous planets and how to learn alien languages, and for the first time we showed off some alien races you will be able to communicate with.

We’re excited for you all to play too, and we have some news a lot of you have been guessing at already. No Man’s Sky will have a full blown Blu-ray retail version! Sony has a history of working closely with indies, and this feels like some sort of culmination of that story. It means more people will have a chance to join us in exploring the universe than ever before. I can’t really imagine what it will feel like to walk into a shop and see our game on a shelf.

I remember when I sat in the audience and saw Sony putting LittleBigPlanet on stage for the first time, I knew that it no longer mattered how many people worked on your game, and that not every game had to start with a 10-minute CGI cut scene. I can’t believe we’re about to follow in their footsteps as an even smaller studio with their game in real, actual shops.

Most importantly, it gives us the best chance possible to keep supporting the game for free after it is released. No Man’s Sky will launch as a complete game in June, but there’s a lot we’d like to add post-launch, if we can.

Thank you, as always, for everyone’s support and patience as we head towards the home straight. We can’t wait for everyone to start their own adventures!

All the best,
Sean

  • “And the bells were ringing out for No Man’s Sky”

  • Time to buy a PS4 methinks.

  • I have a good feeling that No man’s Sky will be a really AWESOME game !!! I also love open world games and exploration

  • I-Am-The-Law-070

    SO hyped for this game. Amazing news to hear that there’s gonna be a Retail version.

    Thanks to the dev team and Sean Murray for their hard work. This game simply won’t dissapoint. I just know it.

    Happy exploring to everyone, and hope to find some of you in the cosmos this summer! :)

  • I’m an Amazon Prime member and I’ll be preordering the Limited Edition of this as soon as it’s available. I never buy anything above the standard version, season passes, or any other addons until I’ve bought the game and tried it for a while, and up until a few months ago, I had NEVER bought ANY addons for any games. But seeing how much this team put into this game and how this is pretty much anything I’ve ever wanted in a game, I’m compelled to break with my usual and explore new paths in buying the Limited Edition. Come on, Amazon, put it on the store!

    Super excited for summer.

    Hope the kids don’t want to go to any theme parks or the beach or ever see me again….

  • Ugh sorry no, not for $60 for a game that I still have no idea what the game actually is besides wandering around collecting resources (breaking open crates basically). I’ll wait till its 75% off sometime around christmas and after reviews have come out saying its actually worth my time. Been burned too many times, I refuse to follow hype anymore.

  • How long will this “online only” game be playable?

  • hell i cant wait !!!

  • Ohhhh how to cop with the anticipation!
    Great news!

  • Why is this being called INDIE…HelloGames might be but this game is not…easily GOTY stuff here

  • wolfpackgaming50

    hey guys its me wolfpack and my new videos on my youtube channel for this game will be coming soon don’t forget to subscribe at godzilladeathmatch

  • I’m really excited to play this game! Best wishes to you Sean & the Hello Games team!!

  • Will the digital preorder also include the dynamic theme from the LE?

  • Great news! Congratulations, team!

    I’ve been keeping an eye on this game for a long time now, and it’s great to see it finally coming to completion! Pre-ordered already! June 21st can’t get here soon enough!

  • Oh, a disc format is being released? Sweet! Hmm, though the launch date means I’ll have to cancel my Overwatch pre-order because, let’s face it, once No Man’s Sky comes out I’m not going to be playing anything else for awhile.

  • WOOHOO!!

  • all aboard the hype train!

  • I buy digital, but this is great news! Really looking forward to the game!!!

  • So far this year, I have been conflicted as to what game I was going to buy, seeing as I only had enough spare cash left for one full priced game. Now that I know that this game is coming out in three months, the game I’ve been hyped for a year for, you bet your ass that I’m buying the Limited Edition and coveting it like the one ring. 3 months my precioussss…..

  • why it not available for retail in canada!!!!!

  • $60?!! Oh heck no

  • $40 = day one purchase. $60 = wait for reviews. I’m sorry, but I just don’t know enough to know I won’t get bored. I think back to my time on the Mako in Mass Effect 1…

  • Pre-ordered from game-stop for the pre-order bonuses. Can’t wait to pilfer stuff from random space barges and to document everything i see in art-book/journal.

  • Just put a pre-order down for a physical copy can’t wait to play the game on June 21st and to hear when the game goes gold. I hope in the near future VR support will be added. Can’t wait to get in my Ship and explore the cosmos, I’ll see you among the stars.

  • Day 1 purchase! Retail Limited edition for me :)

  • Awesome, really can’t wait for this, please let it live up to the hype!

  • OMG SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS!!!

  • Any clue when the Limited editions will be back in stock. Seems everyone is sold out.

  • THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I love steelbooks, I love this game, and having them both is amazing! I will get this ASAP!

  • I pre ordered. wish I hadn’t now that I learned Amazon Prime members get the limited edition for $63.

    Any chance of their being Similar DLC or a Limited edition upgrade on PSN for download?
