Hello Games' next title is kind of like No Man's Sky but set in a medieval fantasy universe, features multiplayer and survival / crafting elements.

Hello Games announced its next project, and it's not No Man's Sky 2.

It's a place where people can live out their adventures together," Hello Games boss Sean Murray said at The Game Awards 2023.

This is a game I would still like to be updating 10 years from now.". »
