No Man's Sky is coming to North America on June 21st and elsewhere on
June 24th, and preorders for the Windows edition of the procedural space game
are now underway on
GOG.com and
on Steam.
Word is: "The pre-order incentive for No Man's Sky includes the Horizon Omega
ship — faster engines, better guns, all to kickstart your trip and help you
survive longer on the interstellar journey." And for the truly fanatical,
iam8bit offers a $149.99 No Man's Sky "Explorer's Edition" (thanks
Eurogamer) which includes a die-cast spaceship and other goodies along with
a game code. Here's word on the game from
GOG.com:
Intergalactic
travel changes the notion of time. Unimaginable speeds connect impossibly
distant worlds, dilating lifetimes, blending generations. A round-trip may find
your world aged and unrecognizable, separated from your loved ones, irrevocably
alien. In an intergalactic society, only the few set off towards the stars —
explorers, those unafraid and with nothing to lose. They set off never to come
back as far as our lifetimes are concerned. And thus, we still look up at an
infinite sky, now within our reach, yet still untouched — a no man's land, a No
Man's Sky.
No Man's Sky promises discovery of an infinite, uncharted universe. Its billions
of stars, planets, unknown living creatures, breathtaking sights and lonely
wastelands — all seamlessly connected — populated with explorers drawn to the
distant mysteries of the horizon, eager to leave a permanent mark in their wake.
The frontier is merciless and dangerous. Exposed to a universe of extremities in
your fragile suit and ship, you'll need resources and upgrades to get far — as
well as the means stand your ground in fight.
Whether you journey to the center of it all or seek out the farthest reaches of
existence, the trip will not be simple or dull. You'll catalogue things unseen,
discover alien artifacts and reveal mysteries of the universe. If you survive.
The pre-order incentive for No Man's Sky includes the Horizon Omega ship —
faster engines, better guns, all to kickstart your trip and help you survive
longer on the interstellar journey.
