A big part of our chat with Hello Games co-founder Sean Murray for No Man's Sky's 10th anniversary is focused on the next 10 years. Although the studio's next game, the highly ambitious Light No Fire, is in active development, Murray makes it clear in our interview that No Man's Sky isn't going anywhere, saying he could continue working on the game "forever" if people keep playing it. Still, all things must one day come to an end, and Murray isn't delusional on that front.
"There probably is some end date," he says. "But if you had asked me five years ago, I would have thought we would have passed it by now." Murray isn't sure when active development will come to a halt on No Man's Sky, but even when that day comes, he's not closing the door to spontaneous future updates even decades down the road. You know, like Quake.
