No DLC For 'Different' And 'Innovative' 'No Man's Sky' Game

There will be no DLCs after the "No Man's Sky" game's release date.

Speaking to PC Gamer, "No Man's Sky" game lead developer Sean Murray talked about support after the game's release date. He confirmed that there are no plans for a DLC but there hinted at an alternative. There may be new features added in their space exploration game eventually.

"There's things, post-release, that would be really exciting for the game that we could see how people were playing and iterate on that," Murray told the publication. "This is definitely a game for updates."

"And actually, content-wise, DLC is less applicable. Actually, the model that we're going for is a model that is way more common on PC [than on console]: a constantly iterated and growing feature set, and that's something we would love the opportunity to support."

Moreover, Sean Murray noted that he can't promise DLC since the "No Man's Sky" game may not be as popular to gamers as they had hoped.

"Maybe everyone will hate it, and maybe Hello Games will go out of business," he quipped. "But if people will allow us that opportunity it's something I would love to do."

Meanwhile, the Hello Games boss also revealed how the game is different from other video games in the market. He spoke with BBC's Newsbeat about what he and his team want to achieve with their "No Man's Sky" game.

"We're just trying to do something a bit different and innovative and it would be great to see more games do that," Murray said. "As a gamer who plays all the time I love a lot of Triple-A titles but I find gaming a little predictable a lot of the time."

The "No Man's Sky" release date is slated for Jun. 21, 2016. It will be published for PC and PS4.
