Hyper Light Breaker delivers a look at the world with a new trailer

Gearbox Publishing and developer Heart Machine have released a new trailer for Hyper Light Breaker, the sequel to the highly regarded Hyper Light Drifter. This new trailer shows off a lot of the world that players will get to explore, including some enemies that call it home, check it out.

Either solo or with up to two fellow Breakers, you will explore large open biomes, with global day, night and weather cycles, along with a blended mix of handcrafted and procedurally generated elements that change with every playthrough. By wall-dashing, hoverboarding, and gliding, Breakers will have the freedom to choose their own path across the Overgrowth.

With Hyper Light Breaker, you’ll come to find you’re exploring an open world that you’ll only see once. Once you die or once you complete a run, you’ll never see the same world again – you’ll instead find a completely different world to explore. Every new world that’s generated can present dynamic, global components that can affect your whole run or playthrough. Because of this, Hyper Light Breaker will be one of the first open world rogue-lites of its kind, and we can’t wait for Breakers to enter the Overgrowth and see for themselves the endless worlds they can explore
— Alx Preston, Hyper Light Breaker and Heart Machine creative director

Players will discover a series of biomes as they explore the world and within each one a day and night cycle will change up how it feels and what happens around them. As the sun sets and night begins, the Overgrowth will become deadlier and enemies that might have been a challenge previously will likely kick your butt going forward.

There isn’t a release date for the full release, as it will launch into early access, but there isn’t a date for that either.
