Hyper Light Breaker Launches on Steam Early Access January 2025
Heart Machine's co-op open-world roguelike debuts January 14, 2025, bringing a new 3D adventure to the Hyper Light universe.
- Hyper Light Breaker, developed by Heart Machine and published by Arc Games, will launch in Steam Early Access on January 14, 2025, priced at $29.99.
- The game is set in the Overgrowth, a procedurally generated open world where players battle enemies, uncover secrets, and build resources in solo or three-player co-op mode.
- This is the first 3D entry in the Hyper Light universe, serving as a prequel to 2016's Hyper Light Drifter, with no spoken dialogue and a comic panel-inspired storytelling style.
- The early access version will feature limited content, including a few playable characters, two bosses called Crowns, and no final boss, with additional content planned during its year-long early access phase.
- Heart Machine has assured that recent layoffs at the studio will not impact the game’s development or release plans, with player feedback set to shape its evolution.
