It would take over 300 real days to walk across Light No Fire’s world
If you've got almost a year of free time to spare, you could attempt to walk across the entirety of Light No Fire's very large world on PS5 and Xbox.

Set on a fantasy planet the size of Earth, as told on the Light No Fire website, Hello Games’ upcoming release is also a procedurally generated experience, like No Man’s Sky before it. Unlike the over 18 quintillion planets in a procedural universe, however, Light No Fire’s world will be one densely packed planet. But what does that mean for traversal?
Humans walk, on average, at a speed of 3.1 miles per hour. The circumference of Earth, so the distance around the equator, is 24,901 miles long. If you were to start at one point in the equator and then continuously walk until you reach the same point again, it would take you roughly 8,032 hours, or a whopping 334 days. And we can’t stress this enough, but that is real-time. Almost a year of your life, walking a virtual planet. While we have yet to play the game, we can imagine it’ll be one of the best open world games on the scale alone.
For reference, TheyCallMeConor took 12 hours to walk halfway around a planet in No Man’s Sky, despite Hello Games’ Sean Murray stating that each of the planets would be ‘planet-sized’ in No Man’s Sky. Considering that Light No Fire’s world could take you over 334 days of constant real-life walking, that puts No Man’s Sky’s roughly 24-hour planet marathons to shame.
