Good news for fans as the final hurdle to the release date of "No Man's Sky" has been settled, and the game will still retain the name.

Sean Murray of Hello Games confirmed the news in a tweet, "Yay! We finally settled with Sky (they own the word "Sky"). We can call our game No Man's Sky. 3 years of secret stupid legal nonsense over."

Hello Games and the British telecom company, Sky, has been locked in a legal battle over alleged infringement over the use of "No Man's Sky." Sean Murray said that the lawsuit shouldn't be taken lightly.

"This is the same folks who made Microsoft change Skydrive to Onedrive... so it was pretty serious," he tweeted.

On the one hand, he quipped, he now knows more about copyright laws before the company was sued by Sky.

Indeed, Sky managed to secure a court order that informed Microsoft to change the name of its Skydrive.

"In 2013, Microsoft had to change the name of its cloud storage service SkyDrive to OneDrive, following an infringement claim," it said.

Ars Technica pointed out that the release date of "No Man's Sky" was announced to be delayed from th original June 21 to Aug. 9. However, there was no clear reason given for the postponement.

"A legal battle that would have required a last-minute name change would certainly fit the bill for such a delay, though we can't know for sure if this was the cause at this point," it said. "If it is, though, then Sky Broadcasting owes us roughly six weeks of freeform space exploration!"
