Hyper Light Breaker Early Access Trailer Reveals Intense Battles, Challenging Enemies & More

As the highly anticipated Early Access release of Hyper Light Breaker approaches, a brand new launch trailer has provided a captivating glimpse into what players can expect. Announced initially in 2022, this title marks the third installment from indie developer Heart Machine, serving as a prequel to their acclaimed 2016 game, Hyper Light Drifter. However, unlike its predecessor, Breaker ventures into fresh territory with its open-world, co-op roguelike gameplay, featuring dynamic 3D action combat.

To build excitement for the game’s upcoming launch, a trailer showcasing over a minute of exhilarating gameplay—including combat, traversal mechanics, and exploration—has been made available on the Hyper Light Breaker YouTube channel. To celebrate the release, the game will also debut with a bundle offering 10% off the standard Early Access price of $29.99, plus a complimentary Steam code for Hyper Light Drifter for new players who may not yet own the original title.

The use of Early Access has gained traction within the roguelike genre, with acclaimed titles such as Hades, Dead Cells, Risk of Rain 2, and Ravenswatch paving the way. This model allows developers to craft an initial, robust player experience while being agile enough to incorporate feedback and deliver regular updates. With its imminent release, Hyper Light Breaker already displays promise, and the creators have assured gamers that significant enhancements are on the horizon.

As a bold new chapter for Heart Machine, which previously delivered Solar Ash and Hyper Light Drifter, Hyper Light Breaker is poised to offer a compelling open-world roguelike adventure. Although the game is set to enter Early Access on January 14, a full release may be some time away. Nevertheless, the early build suggests an exciting and rewarding experience for fans and newcomers alike.
