Enter the Overgrowth, a new land in the world of Hyper Light.

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 from the creators of Hyper Light Drifter.

Hyper Light Breaker is neither a sequel nor a prequel to Hyper Light Drifter. 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 is a new game driven by new designs.

This time, you won’t be traveling alone through our range of lush though deadly landscapes. You’ll be able to play alone or with friends online cooperatively! There will be more hidden truths about the world to uncover, an ever-shifting landscape, and tremendous rewards for exploration.

In celebration of Hyper Light Drifter’s seventh anniversary this month, Gearbox Publishing and Heart Machine are proud to reveal a first look at gameplay for Hyper Light Breaker.

Originally planned for Spring, Hyper Light Breaker is now set to launch in Steam Early Access in Fall 2023.

“Hyper Light Breaker will bolster the mysterious universe of Hyper Light, with vast, ever-changing open worlds with distinct micro-biomes, brutal enemies, a wide array of unique weapons and hidden secrets,” said Alx Preston, Hyper Light Drifter creator and Heart Machine creative director. “We’ve been pushing hard to create an incredible world where players the freedom to explore and play in a way that fits their style.
