Hyper Light Breaker to Make its Way to Steam Early Access in Late Summer

Developer Heart Machine provided an update on Hyper Light Breaker is being released. It looks like this co-op rogue-lite adventure is arriving in Steam Early Access some in late summer. While there's no specific date, hopefully it's enough for those excited for the game to come out.

The game was initially set to be released in the fall of 2023. However, the studio later announced that it was postponed to 2024. The main reason for the postponement was to make sure that the game was brought to its full potential.

In a statement, Heart Machine Founder and Creative Director Alx Preston revealed that they're excited to finally announce that the game is releasing later this summer. He went on to say that they're thankful for the support that they received from the community and can't wait for everyone to experience what they have to offer.

The game is set in Overgrowth, a forgotten land that's part of the world of Hyper Light. The world is now in disarray and players need to bring order back by solving mysteries and defeating various enemies. Along the way they get to explore fully 3D environments. This large and ever-changing world has deep labyrinths and open biomes. Added to the mix are the procedurally generated and hand-crafted elements.

Players can choose to take the adventure alone with single players or team up with other Breakers via online co-operative play. It's going to be an exciting time considering that they get to face waves of enemies and go against bosses in third-person combat.

For each run, everyone has the chance to discover, and even unlock, a wide range of items and weapons which can then be strategically crafted to a strong build. There’s a lot to learn about the Overgrowth especially with the characters and the storylines revealed with each death and succeeding attempt.

Over the course of the journey, players need to help the different settlements. The accomplishments made in the game introduce new characters and even add permanent updates to the hub which expands the population. It’s also important to remember to visit the citizens every now and them to discover more about their stories.
