'''No Man's Sky''' is the reason for this wiki.

==Summary==
'''No Man's Sky,''' previously codenamed '''''Project Skyscraper,'''''<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgRJbFQGyIE Creating No Man's Sky's Infinite Soundtrack] on YouTube</ref> is a procedural science fiction game developed by English developer [[Hello Games]] out of Guildford, UK. Hello Games is best known for their Joe Danger series, and is bringing their unique development style to ''No Man's Sky''. The game will feature planetary exploration, deep oceans, [[Space battle|space-based battles]], predators and prey, and much more across various procedurally-generated worlds. Each [[Planet|world]] will have its own [[Biome|ecosystems]], rewards, and dangers, leading the player through the four core pillars of the game: Explore, Fight, Trade, and Survive.

The game debuted at VGX 2013 with a trailer showing off the game's world, starships, flora, and fauna. Another [[No Man's Sky E3 Gameplay Trailer|trailer]] for the game premiered at E3 2014 during Sony's presentation, detailing the game's creature identification system, dogfighting, and seamless space travel between planets.

It was released in North America on 9 August 2016 and in Europe on 10 August for PS4 and on 12 August for the PC community. It was released on Xbox One and WeGame on 24 July 2018.<ref>[https://www.polygon.com/2018/3/29/17174638/no-mans-sky-xbox-one-next-update-ps4-pc No Man’s Sky ‘Next’ update teased, game headed to Xbox One] on Polygon</ref>
