No Man’s Sky Launch Trailer

To commemorate the game’s debut in North America today, August 9, Sony and developer Hello Games have premiered the official launch trailer for No Man’s Sky.

Shackled with a level of anticipation the likes of which we haven’t seen in years, there are still many questions looming over No Man’s Sky, and until players begin mapping out the cosmos in all of their wondrous glory, you can expect that intriguing sense of mystery to remain intact for some time yet. In fact, with close to 18 quintillion planets to explore, you’d best get comfortable.

Even though No Man’s Sky is an indie title, Sony can see the potential that this PS4 exclusive has, offering a gaming experience unlike any other, on any platform. Therefore, Sony is treating it as if it were being developed in-house, which from the tech giant is unprecedented.

No Man’s Sky is available today for PlayStation 4, and later this week for PC.

Check out the Trailer:

“Explore uncharted solar systems and catalog unique new forms of life. Every planet’s landscape is different from the next, and populated by species never before encountered. Find ancient artifacts that could reveal the secrets behind the universe. Choose whether to share your discoveries with other players as they’re exploring the same vast universe in parallel; perhaps you’ll make your mark on their worlds as well as your own.

Every solar system, planet, ocean and cave is filled with danger, and you are vulnerable. Your ship and suit are fragile, and every encounter can test your skills to the limit. From dogfighting in space to first-person combat on a planet’s surface, you will face foes ready to overwhelm you. And one mistake could see you lose everything. In No Man’s Sky, every victory and every defeat has lasting consequences.”
