I love how every single source emphasizes it's "single-planet", just because it's by Hello Games.
Cause fantasy games with dragons are famously known to all contain interstellar travel.
I think the emphasis on the "planet" is that in their usual over-ambition, Hello Games announced that they'll be simulating a full-scale planet. It then got through the media's broken telephone.
Well, Ultima did, so it is technically an early feature of the genre.
As an aside, I would love to see the concept of "high fantasy space opera" get more love.
I mean, we have Pathfinder which spans over an entire Star system and even beyond but still is a fantasy roleplaying game. (Same with Dungeons and Dragons)
They probably specified to emphasize that despite NMS being interstellar, this one isn't. Since they're known for the former, that reputation comes with the baggage of expecting a similar experience.
