Few days ago there was a rumour floating around the net that turned out to be true, No Man’s Sky has been officially delayed by 6 weeks. In a post on the official PS4 blog Sean Murray stated that it has been delayed to add the last bit of polish due to some small issues found by playtesters in its last round before going to the presses.

Of course, a lot of people have been taking this badly, but if a game is delayed near the end of its development for a final bit of bug fixing I don’t mind. Shigeru Miyamoto said “A delayed game is eventually good, a bad game is bad forever” and with every rule there are exceptions, Duke Nukem Forever is one of them.

So far nor Steam nor Humble change their release dates, but with NMS being a PS4 title first and a PC second, it wouldn’t be outrageous to think this applies to our platform too. Next week will probably tell though.
