Originally announced back in 2013, No Man's Sky only got a firm release date a couple of months ago. But the June 21st promise couldn't be kept.

If you don't know anything about the game, it's a PlayStation 4 and PC title that allows players to explore a giant, procedurally generated universe. You'll be able to fly around roughly eighteen quintillion (that's a lot) planets, and disembark from your ship to explore each, cataloguing flora and fauna and completing challenges along the way. It's being made by Hello Games, a small UK-based developer previously known for the Joe Danger stunt games.
