The highly anticipated "No Man's Sky" from Hello Games and PlayStation will come in 2015, and it will be "massive."

Gaming Bolt reports that there is no official release date for the game yet, but it will come next year. The game is published and developed by Hello Games and will come to Sony's Playstation 4 first, shares the article. There are also talks of it being ported to Microsoft Windows PC. Meanwhile, no plans for an Xbox One release have been finalized yet.

According to The Epoch Times, the space exploration game is made complex by its many planets, which may take up to 585 billion years to explore.

Managing Director of Hello Games, Sean Murray, also said that there are endless possibilities in the game. According to him, the game involves trading, weapons, combat, ships, and other elements that make it viable to the gaming audience, but even the "quiet moments of discovery" are there to be enjoyed. Murray also added that the assignment of random seed numbers to each planet takes care of the loading of trees, flowers, creatures, and even minute details like blades of grass. This computer-generated approach means no loading time required for the game, Murray boasted.  

The game is highly anticipated because of the unique outcomes each planet offers. According to Liberty Voice, the game "introduces a universally vast setting that can never be fully explored."

Also according to the article: "There is no end to the game. Every horizon offers a new adventure, new creatures, or a world never before seen. It could be wonderful, scary or just a pile of moon rocks. No one knows, not even the developers at Hello Games. Its procedurally generated destinations contain an endless number of plants, with unnumbered variations of life, vegetation, and environments."

"No Man's Sky" first caught the eye of the public at the E3, with Murray giving explanations and small demonstrations about the game.
