In a new trailer debuted during Day of the Devs: The Game Awards Edition today, Arc Games and Heart Machine announced the highly-anticipated Hyper Light open world co-op rogue-lite Hyper Light Breaker is officially set to launch in Steam Early Access on January 14, 2025. The trailer shown during the showcase was just a sliver of the full Early Access Release Date Reveal Trailer, as the complete version covers an in-depth overview from Hyper Light Breaker Lead Producer, Michael Clark, of what players need to know about the new Hyper Light adventure before the game enters Early Access next month.
“We’re thrilled to be a part of Day of the Devs: The Game Awards Edition and finally reveal that Hyper Light Breaker will be launching in Early Access in just a month,” said Alx Preston, Heart Machine Founder and Creative Director. “From all of us at Heart Machine, we really can’t thank our community, friends and colleagues enough for all of the support over the years and sticking with us as we’ve worked on our most ambitious project yet. Launching Hyper Light Breaker in Early Access will be just the beginning, as we want the community to be part of the game’s development journey. We really can’t wait for players to join us in the Overgrowth to bring Hyper Light Breaker to its full potential.”
Those who embark on this new adventure will be able to 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. Hyper Light Breaker will continue to evolve throughout the course of Early Access, as developer Heart Machine has plenty of content planned, including new Breakers, Crowns (bosses), gear and more. The team developed Hyper Light Breaker with Early Access in mind as they’ll set their sights on taking community feedback to heart to balance the experience and evolve the game before it enters 1.0 launch.
