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.

Arc Games and Heart Machine have two exciting announcements for the open world rogue-lite Hyper Light Breaker recently released in Steam Early Access!

After much anticipation from the community, the first Hyper Light Breaker Early Access Roadmap has been revealed! The Spring Edition roadmap shared today reveals content updates to come this month through April -- with April bringing a major content update “Buried Below” -- and hints at what players can expect  in Early Access. The first monthly content update for Hyper Light Breaker in Early Access will be released next Tuesday, February 18 (see details below). The next roadmap, the “Summer Edition,” highlighting updates for May to July will be shared in May. 

During the Early Access period, players can expect to see a continual stream of three types of updates: Hotfixes, Monthly Updates, Major Content Updates. These updates will include new content and features such as Breakers, Crowns, gear, story content, secrets, and more, along with gameplay improvements made via updates. 

As an Early Access game, Hyper Light Breaker will continue to grow and evolve with the power of player feedback as the Heart Machine team responds to suggestions from the community with regular updates and new content throughout the Early Access period. In the first two weeks following Early Access, player feedback brought about major hotfixes that made performance optimization improvements, expanded control and graphics options, critical bug fixes, a rework of enemy aggro and major quality of life improvements, including a rework of the Medkit system which now allows players to start with a Medkit. This roadmap, and the roadmaps to come, are reflections of the team’s dedication to providing players with an exciting and memorable gameplay experience in the lead up to the game’s 1.0 launch.

Hyper Light Breaker First Monthly Content Update Launches February 18

The first monthly content update for Hyper Light Breaker in Early Access is set to launch on Tuesday, February 18! This first content update will bring a new playable Breaker, Ravona, previously codenamed “Crow”, new SyComs for the new Breaker, new enemies including a new Elite enemy, new Holobytes like “Hunter’s Mark,” new Affixes, along with performance updates, a combat and gear rebalance including increasing the rate of rare gear drops in the Overgrowth, quality of life improvements like slowing the pacing of the Danger Meter (decreasing difficulty as a result) and bug fixes. The new Breaker, Ravona, has been highly-requested and anticipated character by the Heart Machine community – with the community requesting to see gameplay of the character daily -- ever since the Breaker was first shown in the Gameplay Reveal Trailer last year. The Heart Machine team is thrilled for players to try this new Breaker.
