When is the Light No Fire release date? This survival sandbox game was revealed at The Game Awards 2023, and with its Valheim-vibes and colorful, fantasy world, there’s a lot to be excited about for this upcoming RPG. Sean Murray and his team at Hello Games have been working on No Man’s Sky over ten years now, so it’s not a surprise that he joined Geoff Keighley on stage at The Game Awards to reveal their next title.
Like Valheim, Light No Fire is an exploration and building game, it’s set on a planet the size of Earth and features different biomes, enemies, and resources, all procedurally generated. From the screenshots and gameplay we’ve seen so far, there are plenty of mountains to climbs and seas to explore, so let’s dig in to everything we know.
Light No Fire release date estimate
Though we don’t have a set date, we estimate the Light No Fire release date will be late 2024 as the game has been in development for more than five years already.
The developer Hello Games announced the game at The Game Awards with an announcement trailer below.
It’s also not clear if Light No Fire is a co-op with a limited number of players who can join on individual servers, or it will be an MMO. On the Steam page, Light No Fire is described as having a “multiplayer Earth” and features dragons and there is an “ancient Earth to uncover” which is “thick with lore. What that means for the story of Light No Fire remains to be seen, but it looks like the planet is one big mystery to solve.

After an overview of the history of No Man’s Sky and all the work Hello Games has put into it, Sean Murray and Geoff Keighley revealed that the fantastical open-world game has been in the works for five years. Light No Fire bears a remarkable resembles with its general look and feel to No Man’s Sky, but it’s clearly set on a single planet rather than 18 quintillion – and there are little rabbit people!
As you can see in the trailer, this massive land has quite a few gorgeous biomes to explore with massive mountains to scale, and more importantly, dragon creatures to ride and habitats to build. No doubt fans of No Man’s Sky will love every minute of it.
In a press release, Hello Games states that Light No Fire has the depth of a role-playing game and the freedom of a survival sandbox. They also emphasized four design pillars: a multiplayer Earth, a procedural Earth, a fantasy Earth, and an unexplored Earth where every mountain can be climbed.
