No Man's Sky Devs Relaunch Classic Game Joe Danger For Autistic Player
No Man’s Sky developer Hello Games has relaunched the iOS version of its classic game Joe Danger for an autistic fan. Before creating No Man’s Sky, which released its Frontiers update last September, the first game that the fledgling studio developed was Joe Danger, a side-scroller that combined both racing and platform game elements and was initially released on the PlayStation 3.
After working on Joe Danger as well as its sequels and spinoffs, Hello Games focused wholly on No Man’s Sky, the game the studio is most known for.

No Man’s Sky’s comeback is comparable to FFXIV and its own redemption story.
