No Man's Sky Studio's The Last Campfire Out This Summer

The Last Campfire, the new project from Hello Games, developer of No Man's Sky, will be released for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC this summer. That news comes alongside a very pretty new trailer, which you can watch below. The game sees you play as Ember, trying to adventure your way out of a puzzling world. The story will centre around "rekindling hope in an otherwise hopeless world". [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/03/17/the-last-campfire-official-trailer"] Designed under the label of a "Hello Games Short", the game is made at a smaller scale and by a smaller team than No Man's Sky - however, the warm reaction to its reveal at the 2018 Game Awards has apparently led to an increase in ambition for the team. In an email to IGN, Hello Games head of publishing Tim Woodley said: "The project came about through our desire to have an outlet in the studio which harked back to a time before No Man’s Sky - back when Hello Games was four people in a room working on Joe Danger, incubating a new idea and watching it and the team grow and develop. We're excited about The Last Campfire, but also what this team does in future." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-last-campfire-5-screenshots&captions=true"] Work on No Man's Sky has continued alongside development of The Last Campfire, and it shows little sign of slowing down. In our review of the last major update, Beyond, we said the game "has vastly improved in virtually every way" since release (although it hasn't solved a core problem with monotony and grind). In fact, No Man's Sky seems to be getting pleasantly weirder as it ages - its most recent move was to add the ability to hatch a living spaceship from an egg.
