History
Hello Games was formed in July 2009 by former employees from other video game companies, such as Criterion Games, Electronic Arts, and Kuju Entertainment. At the 2010 Develop Awards, they won two awards: Best New Studio and Best Micro Studio.[2][3] In August 2010, they were listed by The Guardian in its Tech Media Invest list—a list of the 100 most innovative and creative companies of the previous 12 months.[4] At the 2011 Gamescom press event, they announced their second game, Joe Danger 2: The Movie.[5] Hello Games announced a new sci-fi adventure game titled No Man's Sky at the 2013 VGX award show.[6]
On Christmas Eve in 2013, the studio's offices were flooded after a nearby river broke its bank. They tweeted that "Everything in the office has pretty much been lost."[7]
22nd June 2016 has been reported for the release of No Man's Sky on PS4 and PC in Europe and June 24th in the UK. There are no announced plans for an Xbox One release.
