'No Man's Sky' release date news: Massive open-world universe finally open to explore on June 21

(Hello Games)Hello Games to launch “No Man’s Sky” on June 21.

Players will finally get to start exploring the massive open-world of “No Man’s Sky” that spans 18 quintillion planets. After several delays, the adventure-survival video game developed by Hello Games is finally arriving this June.

In “No Man’s Sky,” players will be able to visit uninhabited planets where they can explore, set up roots, forage resources, or trade with other players. However, the game isn’t like other traditional role-playing games. Players aren’t constricted by game missions or challenges — rather, they can do whatever they please.

“Players can go fully down one of those rabbit holes, one of those roots. So they can be entirely an explorer, if they really want to be…. They can be a survivalist; they can hang out on just one planet and try and see how long they can survive,” game creator and producer Sean Murray told Polygon.

However, with the expansive universe of “No Man’s Sky,” Murray doesn’t see players merely staying on one planet. They will surely be curious to see the different environments that each planet has.

For those deeply excited about the game’s upcoming release, “No Man’s Sky” is already available to pre-order for $59.99. The Limited Edition, for $79.99, comes with a Steelbook case, a 48-page art book, an exclusive comic created by comic created by Dave Gibbons, James Swallow and Angus McKie, a starter kit DLC, and a Dynamic Theme for the PlayStation 4.

In collaboration with iam8bit, Hello Games will also release a limited edition “No Man’s Sky” Explorer’s Edition for $149.99. Only 10,000 sets will be sold. Aside from the game, the Explorer’s Edition comes with the Horizon Omega ship, a hand-painted Cast Metal Ship Replica with customizable decals, a hard-enamel Traveller Pin, a Diorama Display Backdrop,  and a yet-to-be-revealed mystery item.

“No Man’s Sky” will be released on June 21. It will be available for the PlayStation 4 and the Microsoft Windows PC.
