Everybody’s favourite scientist, Neil deGrasse Tyson is making a video game.

Neil deGrasse Tyson Presents: Space Odyssey, is an educational title developed to encourage players to explore space and science, reports Digital Trends.

“Although in early development, it’s being designed as a building game. Space Odyssey asks players to create their own galaxies.”

“While there are elements of Minecraft and Civilization baked into the experience, Mark Murphy, co-creator and developer of the game from Whatnot Entertainment, said it’s something unique.”

Tyson is not the only big name attached to the project either.

“Players can also explore galaxies created by other players, including prominent scientists and fictional world-builders like Tyson, Bill Nye, George R.R. Martin, Neil Gaiman, and Peter Beagle.”

It looks to be more like Universe Sandbox than No Man’s Sky but either way, we can’t wait.
