Hyper Light Breaker now targeting "summer" early access following delays
16.03.2024 - 00:53 / eurogamer.net
Developer Heart Machine has revealed Hyper Light Breaker — the studio's co-operative rogue-lite spin in its acclaimed 2016 action-adventure Hyper Light Drifter — is now targeting a Steam early access launch sometime this «summer» following several delays.
Hyper Light Breaker was announced all the way back in March 2022 and was originally expected to launch into early access the following spring. However, it's been hit with multiple delays since then, with its release first shifting to autumn 2023 before it was pushed back to a non-specific point in 2024 so Heart Machine could «bring the game to its full potential».
But now, speaking to IGN, the studio has confirmed Hyper Light Breaker will launch on Steam this summer, where it's expected to remain in early access for roughly a year.
Hyper Light Breaker | Gameplay Reveal Trailer Hyper Light Breaker gameplay trailer.Hyper Light Breaker is, of course, a considerably different proposition to its predecessor. While Hyper Light Drifter was a 2D, top-down single-player adventure blending rich exploration and challenging melee combat, Hyper Light Breaker is a fully 3D rogue-lite adventure in which players — either working solo or playing co-operatively with friends online — are tasked with defeating «hordes of enemies and gigantic bosses in frenetic third-person combat».
It's got a «vast, ever-changing» world called the Overgrowth — consisting of massive, open biomes and deep labyrinths — which players can navigate using the likes of wall-dashing, hoverboarding, and gliding as they attempt to «defeat brutal monsters, create new builds, survive the mysterious Crowns and overthrow the almighty Abyss King.»
There's no word of a console release for Hyper Light Breaker, but presumably Heart Machine will have more to share as its PC early access progresses.

Dev on my most-anticipated open-world game talks about the exact things I was hoping for: roguelike build-crafting and cool hoverboards in Hyper Light Breaker
When we sat down to chat with Chris Bullock, lead animator on open-world roguelike Hyper Light Breaker at developer Heart Machine, nobody had beaten its GDC demo yet. The show's recent demo was an exciting up-close look at what's quickly become my personal most-anticipated open-world game of the year, and Bullock's comments on some of the game's nitty-gritty details have only deepened my suspicion that it could be the biggest roguelike of 2024 in more ways than one.

Hyper Light Breaker is a colorful mix between Risk of Rain and Dark Souls
One thing I’ve always appreciated about gaming is the iterative nature of the industry. When one game cracks a good idea, it tends to trickle down to others in creative ways. There’s a sense that developers are always in conversation with one another, riffing off of each other’s ideas in search of something that feels truly fresh.

Hyper Light Breaker hands-on: I'm here for the hoverboard
Hyper Light Breaker is a hoverboard sim. Technically, it’s a third-person roguelite adventure set in a luminous fantasy-cyberpunk universe, but after playing a 30-minute preview, it’s clear to me that Hyper Light Breaker is all about the hoverboard. Vicious beasts, secret alcoves and shiny weapons are secondary to the feeling of gliding over green hills and shallow waters on my glowing blue slab, finding joy in narrowly avoiding enemy encounters.
