'No Man's Sky' release date in 2016? Game to be featured on 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert'

 US Playstation blog

Gamers still wait for any kind of info about "No Man's Sky," which has been in development by Hello Games for two years now. This is why when the game studio's founder Sean Murray was announced to make an appearance on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," gamers found a glimmer of hope.

Murray will treat the host with a gameplay demo of the highly anticipated game on the show with YouTube star PewDiePie. It is expected that during his guesting stint on the talk show, Murray will reveal the one thing everyone is dying to know: the game's release date.

The Hello Games founder will be on the show on Oct. 2. It is fervently hoped that this will be the same day he will announce when "No Man's Sky" will be out. While fans wait for this, rumors and speculations abound about this mystery aspect.

There are reports that Hello Games isn't necessarilly keeping the release date under tight covers because the game studio itself still hasn't settled on a specific date. There are other speculations that the game will be out on the same day Sony releases its Morpheus VR headset.

This means that "No Man's Sky," which enjoys a massive hype for its ambitious attempt to take procedural generation and exploration to the next level, might get released next year. When Murray was asked by Edge Magazine (via Game Radar) if the actual game will be made compatible with the headset, here's what he had to say:

"I don't know what I'm allowed to say. It's something we're thinking about. Morpheus, Oculus... There's nothing more cool and sci-fi than VR and a big procedural universe. I think that, for the people who want to just explore, and even for the space combat and things like that, it would be a good fit. Let's put it that way."
