Following multiple delays, Heart Machine has announced that Hyper Light Breaker will enter early access on January 14th, 2025. A new overview trailer outlines the Breakers who seek to restore civilization to take down the Abyss King. Check it out below.
Unlike its predecessor, Hyper Light Drifter, Hyper Light Breaker is an open-world rogue-lite title with full 3D visuals. As players embark on runs, they can customize their characters with different weapons, ride on hoverboards, and defeat bosses known as the Crowns. Early access features all these core players, three-player co-op, a “wide variety” of weapons and upgrades, and various skins.
It’s planned for a year, which could change based on feedback. The final game will feature all loadouts, weapons, upgrades, run modifiers, NPCs with a “full breadth of animations”, the entire story, a fully fleshed-out OST for levels, and performance optimization. The price will increase at launch, though there may also be an increase during early access.
Stay tuned for more details en route. You can also check out Heart Machine’s other title, Possessor(s), launching in 2025.
