Light No Fire is a new fantasy experience from Hello Games, the studio responsible for No Man's Sky. Where that title sought to let you explore the infinite weirdness of the universe, Light No Fire wants to let you in on something more intimate – albeit no less expansive or ambitious. A procedurally-generated multiplayer Earth – a true open world, built at scale to our own planet. A world that's full of fantastical color and strange creatures, a boundary-less space that is yet to be discovered – that you can leave a mark on, impacting any others who may stumble across your finds in the future.
That's what Light No Fire is hoping to deliver. It draws from survival-crafting and RPG experiences as a baseline, routing these ideas through the concept of joining with friends to explore and settle an entire planet. It's incredibly ambitious, but given the place No Man's Sky has occupied for the past few years, I think it's safe to say that this is well worth watching. Light No Fire was announced at The Game Awards 2023, and here's everything we know about it so far.
Hello Games is yet to set a firm Light No Fire release date, although there is a chance that it could launch sooner than expected. The title has already been in active development for around five years, from a small incubation team working outside of the ongoing evolution of No Man's Sky. Hello Games has indicated that it isn't interested in repeating the lengthy marketing campaign it undertook with its space-sim, which existed in the public sphere for about three years from announcement through to release. Whether Light No Fire will release in 2024 remains to be seen, but don't expect this to be something that's teased for years to come.
