No Man’s Sky is an absolutely stunning achievement of a game, and it’s not even out yet. While the technology powering the near limitless universe within the game, many solo gamers have been worried that they can’t enjoy it by themselves.

Now, we’ve learned (via NeoGAF) that No Man’s Sky will indeed be playable offline, details that were confirmed via the currently un-published September issue of Edge magazine. While we still don’t know exactly how playable the game is offline (it may need to perform regular checks to update your world), as the game is an always evolving experience meant to be played online.

So are you guys hyped for No Man’s Sky? Can the game possibly live up to the monumental levels of promise it shows?
