Ten years after wowing audiences at VGX with the debut trailer for its sprawling sci-fi title, No Man’s Sky, Hello Games’ head Sean Murray took to the stage at The Game Awards 2023 to raise the bar for open-world games once again. But rather than announcing a No Man’s Sky sequel as many had anticipated, Murray instead unveiled the studio's wildly ambitious fantasy title, Light No Fire. Moving the action away from the infinite reaches of space and down to the surface of a single planet, Light No Fire is a massive tonal shift from the planet-hopping gameplay of its predecessor.
