Okay, so, here we go. Sean Murray, the big cheese over at Hello Games, is fueling the rumor mill once more with—wait for it—bacon emojis. I know, right? It sounds wild, but hear me out. Fans of No Man’s Sky are in a tizzy over what these greasy little icons might signify for the game’s future.
Now, let’s just say No Man’s Sky isn’t exactly new to the scene; it’s been floating around for almost nine years. Yeah, seriously, like time flies! But they keep us hooked with constant updates. Over 35 updates — I think? — have hit since launch, with the latest one diving into archaeological digs. I mean, who knew we’d be digging dirt and dust in space?
So, back to those bacon emojis—Sean hops onto Bluesky (nice move, right?) and drops a few game pics — no captions, just vibes, like mysterious celestial landscapes and alien sights. But then, BAM! Bacon emojis. Naturally, fans are freaking out. Are we talking, like, new aliens joining the scene? People are dreaming of the Korvax, Vy’keen, Gek, and then… bacon? It’s insane but hey, speculation is the game, right?
Maybe it’s a clever, punny switcheroo: bacon, beacon — you get where I’m going. Is Murray hinting at a new point of interest popping up soon? Or—and this is totally out there—will No Man’s Sky finally give us space bacon you can cook while cruising the Milky Way? It’s got folks buzzing, comparing it to everything from Pigs in Space to serious LOTR beacon lighting.
But, hold up! Maybe it’s not even about No Man’s Sky. I mean, Sean is also dealing with Light No Fire, another Hello Games sci-fi saga (which, yeah, was teasing us since The Game Awards 2023). So maybe—just maybe—these bacon emojis are a tongue-in-cheek nod to a “sizzle reel” or the game “cooking” up. Or maybe it’s just a delicious diversion. Who can say?
Either way, real or just a tasty jest, people are talking. Murray’s cryptic bacon saga is doing wonders for keeping the community hype alive. And until the secret’s out, we’re all just…bacon believers in his sizzling outreach. Crazy, right?
