Explore a mysterious world with friends in Hyper Light Breaker, in Steam Early Access tomorrow

Today, Arc Games and Heart Machine revealed the Early Access launch trailer for Hyper Light Breaker. From January 14th to the 21st, players can purchase the Hyper Light Breaker Bundle which includes both Hyper Light Breaker and Hyper Light Drifter for the same price as Breaker alone.

Starting tomorrow, players can jump into the beloved Hyper Light universe like never before in this open world rogue-lite as they’ll experience a brand-new realm in the universe, along with the start of a unique adventure fully realized in 3D for the first time. Early Access launch tomorrow will mark just the beginning of Hyper Light Breaker, as players will be able to experience first-hand the rogue-lite’s evolution as they share feedback to help shape and evolve the game throughout Early Access. Those who embark on this adventure from the very beginning will be able to choose from three unique Breakers (Lapis, Vermillion and Goro), experience multiple challenging playthroughs solo or with fellow Breakers via online co-op multiplayer, explore the vast, ever-changing worlds within the Overgrowth, and die and retry as they face hordes of deadly enemies, including Assassins, Elites, and Crowns (bosses).

Throughout Early Access, new content, including Breakers, Crowns, gear, story content, secrets, and more, along with gameplay improvements, such as new features, will be added via patches and periodic major updates. More content details will be shared in an Early Access content roadmap that will be revealed in the coming weeks which will reveal when the first major content update is expected to drop – along with when the release of a particular Breaker, codenamed “Crow”, who’s a highly-anticipated character amongst the Heart Machine community. The Heart Machine team developed Hyper Light Breaker with Early Access in mind and are excited for Breaker to be their first Early Access title as a studio. With Early Access, they’re setting their sights on taking community feedback to heart to balance the experience and bring Breaker to its full potential before it enters 1.0 launch. Players are encouraged to share their feedback via Heart Machine’s official Discord, as the team will be actively monitoring, collecting and responding to feedback that’s given there – and using the feedback to discover ways to shape Hyper Light Breaker during Early Access.

“The time has come for everyone to play Hyper Light Breaker in Early Access and enter the Overgrowth for the very first time,” said Alx Preston, Heart Machine Founder and Creative Director. “After all the twists and turns of the past couple of years, this is such a major and just incredible moment for all of us at Heart Machine – and we’d like to thank our fantastic community, friends and colleagues for the loving support to get us to this point. But things don’t stop here, we’d love for as many players as possible to jump in the game and share their feedback with us! Player feedback is incredibly important to us, so we’re really looking forward to working with the community to continue to evolve Hyper Light Breaker throughout Early Access to make it the best it can be before we bring it into 1.0.”
