'No Man's Sky' release date update: Hello Games to preview game next month

Gamers who are waiting to see how the much-anticipated space exploration title "No Man's Sky" looks like may get a small glimpse into the vast in-game universe next month. 

According to a post for the New Yorker Festival 2015 to be held in October, Sean Murray, managing director of British game developer Hello Games, will hold a 90-minute presentation at the convention. Aside from a keynote talk together with The New Yorker's Raffi Khatchadourian, Murray is also slated to give participants a preview of the upcoming title from his outfit. 

Murray's interview and presentation of "No Man's Sky" is set for Oct. 3 at 7 p.m. EST at the One World Trade Center in New York City. 

"No Man's Sky" continues to build its hype as one of the most-anticipated games, with Murray and his team at Hello Games touting the title as one of the biggest games to be launched this year. It has galaxies offering more than 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 unique planets for players to discover and explore. Players will need to explore the vast galaxy and discover planets, and everything they discover will be credited to them. Those who want to expand their already-discovered territories can explore some more in space, trade with other players for planetary resources or, in the case of those who have built an armada, conquer other territories.

Although Hello Games has not provided any concrete details on what the game's objective is, Murray hinted in previous events like the Electronic Entertainment Expo that the core of the game is to reach the center of the galaxy.  

The title is set to be launched on both the PlayStation 4 and PC platforms, and it is also rumored that Hello Games is thinking of expanding to VR support for the game. "No Man's Sky" is expected to be released later this year.
