Hyper Light Breaker is the 3D Roguelite Sequel to Hyper Light Drifter


In surprising news, Hyper Light Drifter is getting a 3D roguelite sequel called Hyper Light Breaker. Aiming for a 2023 release in Steam Early Access, we haven't seen much gameplay yet, though we've been treated to a gorgeous animated cinematic.

Featuring multiple playable characters to choose from, Hyper Light Breaker seemingly retains the frenetic combat from Drifter, both in solo play and co-op. We haven’t seen how the combat translates to 3D just yet, though the studio’s work on Solar Ash should be a good indicator.
