No Man's Sky Delay is Official
Hello Games' Sean Murray has posted to the official PlayStation Blog that No Man's Sky is officially delayed to August.
The game really has come together, and it’s such an incredible relief. As we sit an play it now, and as I watch playtesters every day, I can finally let myself get excited. We’re actually doing this.
However, as we approached our final deadlines, we realized that some key moments needed extra polish to bring them up to our standards. I have had to make the tough choice to delay the game for a few weeks to allow us to deliver something special.
After a short delay, No Man’s Sky will launch in North America on August 9, in Europe August 10, and in the UK August 12.
Murray goes on to say that despite this being the biggest game he's ever worked on, with a universe far larger than anyone can imagine, "development is genuinely going well."
This new, while unsurprising, is a bit disappointing. Still, its not a huge delay, only moving form June 21 to August 9. Expect to see the game then, and likely at E3 as well. Until then, keep dreaming of No Man's Sky's vast universe. It won't be long until we're able to explore it for ourselves.
