Palworld and No Man's Sky Collaboration Hopes Rise After Hello Games CEO Responds
Murray's favorable response breaks a pattern of unanswered love calls from Buckley, making a Palworld and No Man's Sky collaboration a real possibility.
Reporting from 1 source: Game Spark.
Hello Games CEO Sean Murray responded warmly to a post about a potential Palworld collaboration, after Pocketpair publishing head John Buckley had repeatedly expressed interest. Murray's heart reaction marks the first positive response in an exchange that had seemed one-sided, raising hopes for a collaboration between the two games.
Sean Murray, head of Hello Games, reacted with a heart to a post by X account Pirat_Nation that summarized comments from Pocketpair's publishing head, John Buckley, naming No Man's Sky as a collaboration candidate. Buckley then replied to Murray's post, noting he had previously tried to contact him without a reply.
Buckley has been publicly courting No Man's Sky for months. In April 2026, he replied to a Murray post teasing an update, writing, "Email me! I think we could have some fun collaboration ideas." He also told Game8 before Palworld's full release that he would do a collaboration "tomorrow" if the content fit. Buckley has declined or canceled other requests when they did not suit Palworld, which has previously collaborated with Terraria and ULTRAKILL.
