"Earth-sized" survival game Light No Fire has "real oceans to traverse, needing large boats and crews," says Hello Games boss Sean Murray: "Much of the technology we're introducing" for No Man's Sky is "shared with our next game"

Today's massive No Man's Sky update, Voyagers, a patch so big "the game has had to be reworked" to accommodate it, apparently doubles as a sign of things to come in developer Hello Games' upcoming open-world survival game Light No Fire.

Studio boss Sean Murray briefly mentions Light No Fire in a message accompanying the Voyagers update.
