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.

Originally planned for Spring, delayed until Fall 2023, Hyper Light Breaker is now set to launch through  Steam Early Access in 2024.

Check out the above developer update video to find out the progress the Heart Machine team has made in creating their first-ever 3D co-op open-world roguelite adventure game, their decision to postpone the Early Access launch and more.

“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 Alx Preston, Hyper Light Breaker and Heart Machine Founder and Creative Director. “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.”
