## Key points

- Sean Murray confirms Light No Fire gets No Man's Sky-style post-launch support
- New features planned for after release, not launch day
- Murray hopes to still be updating it a decade on
- No release date or roadmap specifics yet confirmed

## Summary

Hello Games founder Sean Murray has confirmed that Light No Fire will follow the same long-term support model as No Man's Sky, with substantial new features and content planned to arrive after launch rather than being held back for release day. The comments underline that the studio sees launch as merely the starting point for the game, continuing the philosophy that has kept No Man's Sky growing for almost a decade since its rocky start.

Murray said he would "absolutely" want Light No Fire to mirror that trajectory, and added that he hopes Hello Games will still be actively developing it ten years after it comes out. No release date or detailed post-launch roadmap has been given, but the remarks confirm the studio intends to apply the same free, ongoing-update approach that transformed No Man's Sky from its troubled 2016 launch into a much-expanded title.
