No Man’s Sky May Come to Android as Well-Known Enthusiast Takes On Port

Wicked, an enthusiast who previously ported Hades and Gothic Classic to Android, plans to work on an Android port of No Man’s Sky.

Hello Games released No Man’s Sky for iPhone and iPad on October 28. The studio has not announced an Android version, but Wicked has added the game to his plans. He previously used the iOS versions of Hades and Gothic Classic as the basis for his Android ports. He now expects to release an Assassin’s Creed Mirage port first, then work on Hello Games’ space sandbox.

In No Man’s Sky, players can explore procedurally generated planets, build bases, and assemble their own fleet. Between flights, they can trade, search for rare resources, or engage in space battles. The mobile version launched with all major updates, including Forsaken, which arrived on Apple devices on release day. It has some limitations, however: multiplayer is unavailable, and planetary settlements work only on iPhone 15 Pro and newer models.

Wicked has not specified which version of No Man’s Sky he will use as the basis for the port or when to expect the first Android build.
