Light No Fire hype reaches fever pitch as No Man’s Sky studio co-founder Sean Murray teases the internet with even more mysterious emojis

Are we about to hear any news about Hello Games’ upcoming open-world survival RPG, Light, no fire? One would certainly think so, looking at the Twitter page of studio co-founder and CEO Sean Murray, as well as the enthusiastic responses from fans responding to his latest series of tweets.

Light No Fire was first announced at The Game Awards 2023 – according to his steam pageIt’s set on a fantasy planet the size of Earth and will combine the depth of an RPG with the freedom of a survival sandbox. There’s still a lot we don’t know about it, including its release date and platforms (aside from PC), but fans are hoping that Murray’s recent Twitter activity might hint at something.

Over the past three days, Murray has posted an increasing number of planet Earth emojis, without providing further details. Heads were already turning when he posted the first oneFans theorizing that, given that much of Light No Fire’s marketing so far focuses on comparing its world to Earth (calling it a “Fantasy Earth” and an “Uncharted Earth,” among other things on Steam), this could be a hint that an announcement is coming.

Despite rampant speculation in the replies to that tweet, Murray has since doubled down, citing the tweet’s message the next day with three Earth emojis, and he posted three more today. Then, a few hours ago, he posted a cute text face with an Earth for each eye, gesturing toward a third.

Needless to say, fans are going wild. “Please be a Light No Fire thing, I need it,” one Twitter user said. writing“With the amount of teasing, this is definitely not a regular (No Man’s Sky) update… DON’T LIGHT FIRE, here we go,” said another speculates.

So, does that mean Nothing? Well, we still don’t know, but it definitely seems like Murray is up to something – we’ll just have to see if the Hello Games CEO decides to give us some messages that aren’t communicated solely through emojis.
