Are we about to get some news about Hello Games' upcoming open-world survival RPG,Light No Fire? You’d certainly think so looking at studio co-founder and managing director Sean Murray’s Twitter page, as well as the excited replies from fans responding to his latest series of tweets.
Over the last three days, Murray has been posting an increasing number of planet Earth emojis, and hasn’t elaborated any further.Heads were already turning when he posted the first one, with fans theorizing that, given that much of Light No Fire’s marketing up to this point focuses on comparing its world to Earth (calling it a “fantasy Earth” and “unexplored Earth,” amongst other things on Steam), it may be a hint that an announcement is coming.
Despite the rampant speculation in this tweet’s replies, Murray has since doubled down, quote tweeting the post the following day withthreeEarth emojis, and posting another three today. Then, a few hours ago, he posted a cute text face with an Earth for each eye, gesturing towards a third one.
Needless to say, fans are being driven wild. “Please be a Light No Fire thing I need it,” one Twitter userwrites. “With the amount of teasing it’s definitely not a regular [No Man’s Sky] update… LIGHT NO FIRE here we go,” anotherspeculates.
So, does it meananything? Well, we still don’t know, but it definitely seems like Murray is building up to something – we’ll just have to see if Hello Games' managing director decides to give us any messages that aren’t communicated purely through emojis.
