Recently, Hello Games, a game studio known for the vast universe created in No Man's Sky, officially confirmed the Chinese name of its new work "Fireless Light" and the official Chinese trailer. The game promises an unprecedented open-world experience on a scale comparable to our own Earth. Fireless Light aims to combine the procedural generation expertise of No Man's Sky with the fantasy adventures that helped make The Lord of the Rings a legend for a truly open world.
Although Hello Games has not yet fully revealed the full details of Fireless Light, we can already understand through the trailer that it will offer some very attractive elements. Imagine combining the survival elements of Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with the exploration of No Man's Sky, plus the hiking and community elements of Death Stranding. The idea of exploring a complete shared planet with friends is coming to fruition together in Fireless Light.
In Fireless Light, Hello Games stated that it wanted to "bring the depth of an RPG to the freedom of a survival sandbox." The game will eventually include some of the core elements of role-playing – from character creation to a sprawling fantasy story. Players will be able to create custom avatars of multiple species including humans, rabbits, foxes, badgers, bears, wolves, and otters, and may encounter characters scattered around small outposts that distribute quests (similar to the setting in No Man's Sky).
Unlike No Man's Sky, which generates an entire universe, Fireless Light will generate a planet that can be amplified in a fantasy setting. Hello Games is trying to create a multiplayer planet large enough to accommodate a population comparable to that on Earth. This open-world ocean, mountains, and explorable spaces will all be vast and diverse, providing players with a huge gaming environment where you can explore, discover, and build with your friends.
Another highlight of Fireless Light is the multiplayer Earth – a space where you can meet players from all over the world, build a life, explore together, and survive. You can choose to team up with friends or meet other players in the wilderness. The game will also allow players to build long-lasting buildings and communities, meaning that anything you build can be discovered by other players, and you may also discover new wonders while you're out exploring.
Over the past decade, Hello Games hasn't given up on procedural generation. Unlike No Man's Sky's infinite universe, Fireless Light uses similar technology to generate a truly open world on an unprecedented scale. The planet will be as dense and diverse as our own world, with countless unknowable, explorable spaces for you to discover with your friends.
That's the fantasy of the game of Fireless Light. Building on a foundation of exploration, survival, and crafting, the game will also include more traditional story and combat elements. In the first trailer, you can see the player character wielding a sword, shield, bow, and staff. You can also ride your dragon or beast over fantastical landscapes, dive into the darkest depths of the ocean and write your own adventures with other travelers who have left your mark on this vast and fantastical planet.
