However, it seems as though a new delay means that fans will have to wait even longer than the game’s previously-scheduled June 21 release date to see if the PlayStation 4 console-exclusive can live up to the hype.
Realistically, the game will probably fall somewhere in between the two anticipated extremes, and will still be a fun, but not life-changing experience.
Until then, fans will have to wait even longer before they can jump into their spaceships and blast off to new orange-tinted worlds.
It feels like the hype for No Man’s Sky has been as seemingly-infinite as the space exploration game’s often-touted 18.4 quintillion unique planets, ever since the game was announced at the 2013 VGX awards.
