'No Man’s Sky' Release Date Announced? Sean Murray Appears On TV To Discuss Game!

Everyone, especially the gamers, have been speculating that game director Sean Murray will announce "No Man's Sky" release date on his recently-concluded appearance on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert." Host Stephen himself tried to squeeze the much-awaited information in his first question yet it was left unanswered as reported by Polygon.

Maybe for some people, writing and planning a talk show episode with a game developer about an upcoming game is a less stressful compared to one whom a popular actor will plug his upcoming movie on the show. Not this time, in case of "The Late Show." With its space travel, exploration, and combat themes combined together, this is definitely makes No Man's Sky one of the most-discussed upcoming games recently.

Colbert still tried to get a grip of information regarding "No Man's Sky" release date and not just the typical question of what makes the game itself unique, especially with its application of major factors such as evolution and physics.

Thanks to Sony, Hello Games is able to use AAA-game marketing techniques, except that they applied it on a very different crowd. "No Man's Sky" could definitely blow off the doors open for ideas within the gaming community and bring in a flood of new gamers. That is, if the game is half as good as everyone hoped for, as reported by iDigitalTimes.

As promised, there is a game play demo shown in the episode, showing a landing on one of the game's 18 quintillion planets and how space explorers employ the privilege of naming the beasts they discover. For this case, Colbert names his planet "Colbert Prime," and his creatures were named "Colbison," "Molebert," "Codbert" and a "Colbertasaurus." Will these creatures actually be seen when "No Man's Sky" launches?

The game will launch on PlayStation 4 and Windows PCs, but the actual date is still not revealed to the public. Sure, the game play exposure on national TV is as impressive as it looks, but the ultimate question on "No Man's Sky" release date has yet to be announced.
