In late 2023, Hello Games announced Light No Fire, a grand fantasy follow-up to the hit game No Man’s Sky. This promised an expansive world—literally the size of Earth—intended for players to explore in a survival adventure. However, this came with the burden of a massive promise, particularly from a studio known for its history of overhype.

Since the reveal, information has been scarce. There haven’t been any substantial updates or trailers, leaving fans without the fuel needed to keep the excitement alive for the anticipated game. As the Summer Game Fest 2025 approached, any hopes for updates dwindled, leading some to introspectively voice their worries about a phenomenon I term “Silksong Syndrome.” This condition is reminiscent of what Hollow Knight fans experienced when major news was absent for extended periods.

Fans on the Light No Fire subreddit have been actively discussing their concerns, sharing memes related to their frustrations, and speculating on content from a nearly two-year-old trailer. One user remarked, “Now I understand Tweakers,” reflecting the growing impatience within the community.

While it’s understandable that Hello Games prefers not to overwhelm their audience following the initial missteps of No Man’s Sky, the silence is palpable. This has left loyal fans doggedly waiting for anything that hints at the development of Light No Fire.
