No Man’s Sky demonstration to be shown on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

Hello Games founder Sean Murray is slated to appear on The Late Night Show with Stephen Colbert next Friday, October 2nd, according to a press release from CBS.

In addition to an interview, Murray will showcase the indie studio's ambitious open-world game No Man's Sky. Despite the challenges of having a small team, No Man's Sky has quickly become one of the industry's most anticipated games. The same ambition driving the team, however, is also part of the reason the game still doesn't have a firm release date.

However, a comment from Murray back in July suggested No Man's Sky does actually have a date; it just can't be announced yet.

"I guess there’s two things, when the release date is, but also when we announce that date," Murray said at the time. "We can’t announce the date right now, because of things that are not entirely in our control, but honestly for good reasons. It’ll be announced as soon as we can."

Maybe he's saving it for Colbert? Probably not, but at least it will be cool to catch some new gameplay.

The Late Show With Stephen Colbert airs at 11:35 PM.
