The announcement came by way of a new reveal trailer, which you can check out in full down below:
Released back in 2016, Hyper Light Drifter is an intriguing cocktail of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Superbrothers: Sword and Sorcery EP with real-time combat and a mysterious sense of discovery and exploration. The retro-inspired 2D title boasts beautiful 16-bit pixellated art-style and is complemented by a melancholic, lonely tone.
Hyper Light Breaker, on the other hand, will focus on more of a 3D perspective, and will feature online co-op at release (local co-op was patched into the original game, though at a later date).
The Los Angeles-based studio’s last game was 2021’s otherworldly skate-’em-up, Solar Ash, which was received quite well by critics.
