No Man’s Sky will be out in less than a month, and over at the PlayStation Blog, they want to discuss what you can do in the game.

Hello Games’ Sean Murray wants to focus on the “four key pillars to the game: explore, trade, fight, and survive,” and Sony plans to create “short videos that highlight each of these key pillars” ahead of the game’s release. The first video, “Explore,” details the “more than 18 quintillion planets to be explored across billions of miles of space.”

No Man’s Sky is scheduled to be released on August 9 for PC and PlayStation 4.
