No Man's Sky Latest News
During a phone interview with Gamer Informer, a Sony representative noted that No Man's Sky will not require a PlayStation Plus account to play, despite the fact that this level of account permissions is usually required for online PlayStation games. While players will still need an internet connection to ensure that they are able to share their in-game findings with No Man's Sky players everywhere, it appears that this game is being classified as a single-player title with online elements.
At present, it seems that the reason behind this decision has to do with the improbability of players running into each other with any real frequency due to the sheer size of the No Man's Sky universe. Because such traditional multiplayer interactions are unlikely, Sony feels there's no reason to require players to have a premium online account just to play the game.
A new trailer has arrived for No Man's Skyand it focuses on the combat aspect of the game. Exploring uncharted planets will undoubtedly lead to some hostile situations that will demand you to pull out your blaster and take down enemy threats.
Here's a trailer showcasing the gunplay:

In celebration of the game finally achieving gold status, developer Hello Games has released a new trailer for No Man's Sky dubbed Explore. This trailer is designed to showcase the stunning variety of the game's supposed "18 quintillion planets" as well as some of the activities and wildlife you can expect to discover once you locate one of these new worlds. It's a stunningly beautiful tribute to both the game's scope and artistic design.
Hello Games previously sat down with IGN and allowed them go hands-on with their highly-anticipated game in this 18-minute demo that finally gave players a real look at what it's going to be like to play one of the most ambitious games in recent memory. This demo is essential viewing for any No Man's Sky fan that wants to know more about how the title's combat, customization, space flight and land exploration mechanics will work.
Of course, before any of us had even heard of No Man's Sky, the development team managed to peak the gaming world's interest via this, now legendary, debut trailer that hinted at the project's intentions to shatter our expectations of what procedurally generated gaming is capable of by showing what it was like to go from the bottom of an ocean to the furthest reaches of space.
No Man's Sky Release Date
Following a notable delay, it is now confirmed that No Man's Sky will finally release on August 9, 2016 in North America and on August 10, 2016 for the EU and UK. This date will mark the end of the game's multi-year development cycle, which supposedly started when Hello Games' co-founder Sean Murray began to conceptualize No Man's Sky during his work on Joe Danger 2 in 2012.
No Man's Sky will be available for the Playstation 4 and PC.
