Light No Fire will 'absolutely' be like No Man's Sky, with new features coming post-release: Sean Murray says he'd like to still be working on it '10 years after launch'

It is difficult to fathom that No Man's Sky has reached its 10th birthday. Sean Murray, while reflecting on the game's development and future, discussed Light No Fire, an upcoming Earth-sized multiplayer fantasy game. Launched in December 2023, Light No Fire remains a relatively new project, but Murray has already drawn comparisons between it and No Man's Sky.

Murray explained that the shared vision for both games lies in their expansive canvases and the team's desire to incorporate player ideas. Features like large multi-crew spaceships and voyagers added in the 2025 Voyagers update for No Man's Sky were inspired by similar concepts in Light No Fire. Murray expressed his desire to continue working on Light No Fire for at least a decade post-launch, describing himself as enjoying the game for seven years already.
