The maker of No Man’s Sky revealed its next ambitious game: Light No Fire

The developer behind No Man’s Sky, Hello Games, has another title on the way with Light No Fire. While the game shares similarities with the developer’s previous title in terms of gameplay and philosophy, its director, Sean Murray, said the project will be even more ambitious than the team’s past foray> he also showed off a trailer.

Light No Fire takes Hello Games from the sky to the ground. The game places players on a fantasy Earth complete with living skeletons, dragons, orcs, and even giant birds. Like No Man’s Sky, it seems aimed at creating a sandbox world that players can get lost in. Also, like its predecessor, Light No Fire‘s world is all procedural, meaning that it will constantly change and make things different with every visit. It can be assumed that this will be the case with the flora, fauna, and many other elements of Light No Fire.

Unlike No Man’s SkyLight No Fire will have online multiplayer as one of its focal points. During the trailer, we see multiple players mounting dragons to take to the skies, riding deer, and swimming through water together. Among these players were a few that took the form of humanoid bunnies. We hope that there will be multiple fantasy races to pick from when creating a character.

Murray confirmed that Light No Fire will be constantly updated for years after its release. There is no confirmed release date at this time.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure’s supernatural story already has me hooked
safi and max from life is strange sitting next to each other.

Life is Strange has always been known for deep character development and stories. The series' latest entry, Life is Strange: Double Exposure, is another example of that strength. In a 60-minute PAX West demo, protagonist Max Caufield's latest adventure hooked me in with the high stakes and tension in between testing her new universe-hopping abilities.

Double Exposure is a direct sequel to the original Life is Strange, where Max also stars as a teenage protagonist. Now, Max is a college-aged photography student at Caledon University. What originally seems like an average college experience turns into something sinister when she finds her close friend, Safi, dead in the snow. While the premise is a hook in and of itself, Max's new Shift power, puzzle solving, and branching scenarios with difficult choices also sell Double Exposure as an emotional, interactive story.
