No Man’s Sky is one of the biggest and most unique video games ever released. No Man’s Sky‘s gameplay is built on four pillars—exploration, survival, combat and trading—in which players are free to perform within the entirety of a procedurally generated deterministic open universe, which includes over 18 quintillion (1.8×1019) planets. For reference, the Milky Way has 100 billion planets. No Man’s Sky is such a massive game that you can spend literally spend your entire life exploring the game. In fact, GameRant suggests that the game could take up to 5 billion years to fully explore.
According to the official website:
Whether it’s a distant mountain or a planet hanging low on the horizon, you can go there. You can fly seamlessly from the surface of one planet to another, and every star in the sky is a sun that you can visit. You can explore uncharted solar systems and catalogue unique new forms of life. Every solar system, planet, ocean and cave is filled with danger, and you are vulnerable. Your ship and suit are fragile, and every encounter can test your skills to the limit. From dogfighting in space to first person combat on a planet’s surface, you will face foes ready to overwhelm you.
Every single planet’s landscape is different from the next, and is populated by species never before encountered. You can find ancient artefacts that could reveal the secrets behind the universe. You can choose whether to share your discoveries with other players. They’re exploring the same vast universe in parallel; perhaps you’ll make your mark on their worlds as well as your own.
As the game continues to grow, so will the list of ridiculous planet names. But so far, these are the funniest No Man’s Sky planet names we can find so far!
