Hello Games Teases Second Look at Light No Fire at Upcoming Summer Game Fest

The head of No Man's Sky has hinted at an upcoming second glimpse of Light No Fire, Hello Games' eagerly awaited open-world game.
After the mixed initial reaction to No Man's Sky and its subsequent remarkable recovery, Hello Games has once again set high expectations with its latest project, Light No Fire. This game presents a fantastical version of the 'explore anywhere, achieve anything' concept. As the company's co-founder hinted, we'll be getting further insight through a new trailer soon.

As the Summer Game Fest prepares to present a showcase next month as a part of its extensive 2024 schedule, Geoff Keighley, the event's organizer, expressed his excitement over "watching new video game trailers" on Twitter, hinting at the numerous premieres scheduled for June 7 at 2 pm PT/5 pm ET/10 pm BST.

In a playful retort to Keighley, Sean Murray, the director of Hello Games, responded humorously.
Currently, Hello Games is focusing on Light No Fire, its sole announced project, which is slated for a detailed second showcase. Having debuted at The Game Awards in 2023, anticipation is high for the game's next appearance at what fans dub 'KeighleyFest'.

During its unveiling, Light No Fire promised an epic adventure akin to No Man’s Sky, blending elements of Valheim's creative survival, Death Stranding's vast vistas, and the epic journey reminiscent of Lord of the Rings.

Instead of creating countless solar systems for exploration, Light No Fire aims to craft a single planet on a massive scale. Imagine exploring a planet as large as Earth, with space for billions and vast wilderness areas, all available for exploration in-game. The ambition is to deliver a world where mountains dwarf Everest in scale. The actual gameplay remains somewhat mysterious, but more details are expected to emerge shortly.

Fans of No Man’s Sky humorously begged Hello Games to manage expectations this time, as the studio's lead described Light No Fire as “the first true open-world game.”
