After rumors swirled across the internet yesterday, Sony confirmed today that its highly anticipated and long awaited open galaxy game, No Man's Sky, will be delayed until August 9th in North America, August 10th in Europe, and August 12th in the UK.
No Man's Sky's creator Sean Murray announced the delay on the Playstation Blog;
The game really has come together, and it’s such an incredible relief. As we sit an play it now, and as I watch playtesters every day, I can finally let myself get excited. We’re actually doing this.
However, as we approached our final deadlines, we realized that some key moments needed extra polish to bring them up to our standards. I have had to make the tough choice to delay the game for a few weeks to allow us to deliver something special.
It might come as a dissapointment or shock to some who were looking forward to playing next month, but we would rather the game be released when its fully ready rather than rushing a release with potential game crushing bugs.
Again, No Man's Sky will release in North America on August 9, in Europe August 10, and in the UK August 12 on both Playstation 4 and PC.
