New No Man's Sky Trailer Shows off "Epic Space Battles" and More

What exactly do you do in No Man's Sky? That's the question a new video series for the ambitious PlayStation 4 and PC space game aims to answer. Last week's video focused on exploration, while a new one released today is all about combat.

As you'll see in the video below, No Man's Sky lets players participate in "epic space battles," while on-the-ground combat will see players shooting alien enemies. "From the surface to the stars," the video says about where you can partake in fights. Check out the video above.

This is the second in No Man's Sky's "Guides to the Galaxy" video series. Future videos will be titled "Trade" and "Survive," each of which will presumably show off those elements.

No Man's Sky is scheduled to launch on August 9 in North America, followed by August 10 in Europe, and August 12 in the UK. Hello Games recently settled a three-year legal battle over the No Man's Sky name, allowing the title to stay the same.

In other recent news, No Man's Sky has now gone gold (meaning development is complete), while it's been revealed that the game takes up 6 GB of space.

No Man's Sky was originally scheduled to launch in June, but was delayed to August because some "key moments" needed more polish.
