'No Man’s Sky' Release Update: 18 Quintillion Planets Waiting For Gamers, Free Streaming Soundtrack Available

"No Man's Sky," the much awaited science fiction action adventure survival video game, is set to be released anytime. In the upcoming game, players will have a vast, procedurally generated universe to explore. The terms vast and expansive are even reportedly an understatement since the game features more than 18 quintillion planets.

"No Man's Sky" has a lot of planets with their own ecosystem. To put it into perspective, according to some estimates, a player will take more than 500 billion years to visit each planet for one second. No wonder a lot of players are said to have been waiting for this game since it was first announced in 2013.

A game universe as expansive as "No Man's Sky" requires an equally impressive soundtrack. The British post rock band 65daysofstatic, took the astronomic challenge of composing music for a game universe with such magnitude. The album which is aptly named "No Man's Sky" Music for an Infinite Universe is the soundtrack of the upcoming exploration game, Independent. Co reported.

The soundtrack, which has diverse mood depending on the environment and activity of the players, was made available for free via streaming before the album was officially released on Aug. 5. There will be a tranquil music which will soothe the players and a loud thunderous sound of guitar, drums, and pianos.

The album has 10 tracks with fitting titles such as "Supermoon", "Heliosphere" and "Hypersleep". The album is now available on digital download, CD, and two different vinyl versions. The physical release on Laced Records features six exclusive ambient music dubbed as "soundscapes," The Verge reported.

"No Man's Sky" music for an infinite universe is an epic album in its own right. It adds to the mystique of the game and will significantly help in immersing players to the vastness of the "No Man's Sky" universe. The soundtrack is reminiscent to a classical orchestra where the music shifts back and forth from calming silence to thundering noise.
