Vi har ventet lenge på No Man's Sky, og mange reagerte derfor med vantro (og en og annen dødstrussel mot utviklerne) da spillet ble utsatt fra juni til 10. august.
I det som trolig er en siste oppdatering før slippdagen, legger imidelrtid Hello Games-leder Sean Murray opp til at det ambisiøse spillet vil rekke denne nye datoen. Samtidig benytter han anledningen til å takke både tålmodige fans og dyktige kollegaer.
På spillets hjemmeside skriver han:
Hello, Sean here, working super, super hard on No Man's Sky.
Every day, the game is getting better and better, and despite all the late nights (and early mornings) we're all working to get it finished and in your hands, it's amazing to see it all coming together.
You might already know this, but we had to delay the game from its original June release date. It's now August 9 in north America, and August 10 in Europe. We knew that people would be disappointed, and we've certainly heard a lot from some who decided to tell us all about that. But we've also heard some super nice words of support as we make the final push.
I've said it before, but No Man's Sky is the hardest thing I've ever worked on. It's even bigger than you can imagine. This is a type of game that hasn't been attempted before, by a smaller team than anyone would expect, under an intense amount of expectation.
And despite all of that, development is genuinely going well. This is the hardest working, most talented team I've ever worked with, and I'm so proud of what we're doing. For all our sakes though, we get one shot to make this game and we can't mess it up.
So that's what we're doing right now, and every day I feel more sure it was the right decision. Thank you so much for your support and patience. The universe will be yours very soon.
Den siste setningen henspiller på at No Man's Sky bokstavelig talt vil la deg utforske en hel galakse, bestående av milliarder av tilfeldig genererte planeter. Sjansen for å møte andre spillere underveis er lav, men sjansen for å oppdage noe unik og spennende ingen andre har sett før er samtidig skyhøy.
