No Man's Sky is reportedly going to miss its June release date.

No Man's Sky delayed - report

Just as we get close enough to actually playing No Man's Sky, along comes a rumour that it may not make it out in June after all.

Two sources tell Kotaku that the upcoming space exploration game may now be released in July or August, though specific dates were not provided.

One of the site's sources, who works at retailer GameStop, said that although stores have received marketing materials with the June 21 date on it, they were instructed to instead plaster a "coming soon" sticker over the date as it was no longer correct.

No Man's Sky's June release date was announced in March, alongside the price and details of the collector's edition.
