As the end of the year approaches, excitement builds for a variety of gaming titles, but not all news brings joy. Sean Murray of Hello Games has brought the enthusiasm down a notch regarding the studio’s anticipated new project, Light No Fire. During recent discussions about the game, Murray described the development team as “tiny” and indicated that they are working “in the background.”

This admission raises concerns about the project’s timeline and the level of resources allocated to its development. Despite the studio’s history of delivering regular updates for No Man’s Sky, the implication that Light No Fire is not the main focus suggests that fans might be waiting longer than hoped.

Murray shared his optimism about the progress made thus far, stating, “I think it’s going to be something really special.” However, the hints imply there might not be any significant announcements forthcoming at events like The Game Awards this year.

All this to say, while Light No Fire does have a passionate following, it seems players may have to temper their expectations for its release date.
