It literally feels like years have gone by since HelloGames’s Sean Murray announced No Man’s Sky at E3. Of course, that’s because it has been years. 

But, that doesn’t mean that we can’t imagine the adventures we’re going to have on the 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 procedural planets.

The possibilities of what planets and organisms we’ll be able to find and name seem endless. HelloGames seems to have created the perfect exploration video game. Are you bored with this planet you just landed on? It’s not up to your high standards of what a planet should be? Get back in your spaceship and fly to another one!

The only downfall is it will take 585 billion years to visit every individual planet in the game. Hopefully the singularity comes a bit quicker and we’ll be able to play this game for eternity.
