Arc Games and Heart Machine have two exciting announcements before the highly-anticipated open world rogue-lite Hyper Light Breaker enters Steam Early Access on January 14, 2025! Check out the major announcements below for more details.
Following a series of short Breaker Reveal Trailers that showed off each Breaker (playable character) who will be available when Hyper Light Breaker launches in Early Access, a full-length trailer has been revealed that shows all the Breakers players can play as, along with the Crowns (bosses) players will face in action when players jump into the game at Early Access launch. Those who jump in when the game enters Early Access will find there are three unique Breakers (Vermillion, Lapis and Goro) to choose from and two challenging Crowns (Dro and Exus) to go up against. Most notably, players will discover each Breaker has their own distinct Sycoms (little robot companions, which are reminiscent of the ones you’d find in Hyper Light Drifter!) which serve as the foundation of a Breaker’s build and provide specific buffs and stat modifications. That said, player sare able to customize their loadout any way they’d like for each Breaker (ICYMI: read more details on loadouts via this blog). No matter what loadout players have, expect for the Crowns, Dro and Exus, to put up a fight. Rumor has it, the full fights against each Crown will be revealed tomorrow, January 10… stay tuned!
To give players a chance to get the full Hyper Light experience, Heart Machine and Arc Games will be offering a Hyper Light Breaker Bundle available from January 14 (when Hyper Light Breaker launches in Early Access) until January 28.*The bundle will be available for $29.99 and will give players a free digital Steam copy of Hyper Light Drifter for free if they don’t already own Hyper Light Drifter via Steam. Those who purchase the bundle will be able to experience the beloved 2D action adventure RPG, Hyper Light Drifter, and explore the Hyper Light universe in a whole new way with the open world rogue-lite Hyper Light Breaker that takes place decades before the events of Drifter!
