Rumor: No Man's Sky Delayed
Rumors and marketing materials are pointing to a possible delay for Hello Games' ambitious space exploration game.
Kotaku is reporting, based on an unnamed source and photos of GameStop marketing materials [Disclaimer: GameStop is Game Informer’s parent company], that No Man's Sky has been pushed back. The photos show marketing instructions requesting the release date of No Man's Sky on assorted in-store posters be covered with a "coming soon" button.
No Man's Sky was given a June 21 release date back in March.
We've reached out to Sony and Hello Games for confirmation and will update this story if we receive a response.

Our Take
Hello Games is a small team and No Man's Sky is a big game, so a delay is certainly not outside of the realm of possibility, but until we receive official confirmation of a delay, this is strictly rumor.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
