Yesterday, The Astronauts laid out plans for the early access launch of Witchfire, exclusive to PC via the Epic Games Store for a year. It revealed that two maps would be available, each “more or less” the size of the world in The Vanishing of Ethan Carter. The real question is: How long will early access be for?

Hyper Light Breaker’s Early Access release on Steam has been delayed to 2024.
The news marks a second delay for the game, which was originally targeting a spring 2023 release window, and was most recently due to arrive this fall/autumn.
“The development of Hyper Light Breaker has been an extraordinary journey, as we’ve set out to make this new Hyper Light adventure the best possible version of a truly wild idea,” said Heart Machine founder and creative director Alx Preston. “We’ve made remarkable progress and the game has come a long way since we started development.
“Taking this additional time to focus on Hyper Light Breaker’s development will allow us to bring the game to its full potential and we are incredibly grateful for the support from our community that’s been with us every step of the way.
“We thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to deliver a new adventure that lives up to what fans expect from a Heart Machine title.”
Announced last March, the follow-up to 2016 action RPG Hyper Light Drifter shifts from the original game’s 2D perspective to a new 3D one.

“Hyper Light Breaker is neither a sequel nor a prequel to Hyper Light Drifter,” according to Heart Machine. “It is set in the universe of Hyper Light and is its own story. It will share threads, aesthetics, lore and other recognizable elements, but will be a new game driven by new designs.”
Its Steam description reads. “Play alone or with friends to explore massive biomes, defeat brutal monsters, create new builds, survive the mysterious Crowns and overthrow the almighty Abyss King in this action rogue-lite adventure”.
Hyper Light Drifter debuted on PC before making its way to PS4 and Xbox One after several months, and to Nintendo Switch and iOS a few years later.

Yes, Armored Core 6 Has The Moonlight Greatsword
The Moonlight Greatsword is a FromSoftware staple, first appearing in King's Field back in 1994. Since then, From has included the sword in some of its most iconic games, from Dark Souls to Armored Core, so it's no surprise that it has returned nearly three decades later in Fires of Rubicon.

Hyper Light Breaker Prepares for Steam Early Access in 2024 - Hardcore Gamer
Hyper Light fans rejoice, as developer Heart Machine’s follow-up adventure to Hyper Light Drifter gears itself up for Steam Early Access next year. Originally announced for 2023, recent developments with the title require a bit of delay. While not a direct sequel to the first Hyper Light title, this new adventure plans to touch upon details from its predecessor while expanding the lore of the world to be bigger than before. Hyper Light Breaker plans to be its own story contained within the universe that also sees us traveling to a different land. With a focus on online co-op action with roguelite elements, players will enter the Overgrowth: a forgotten land that harbors brutal monsters, high-end gear and a plot to overthrow the ominous Abyss King. Players will walk through procedurally-generated worlds that offer limitless replayability. In an Early Access development update from Heart Machine, Creative Director Alx Preston explains that the team is hard at work continuing to test different iterations of their product, ” we have a lot of wild ideas we want to put into the game — which is exciting and thrilling since the format and tech we created allows so much possibility.”
