Hyper Light Breaker, the upcoming follow-up to Hyper Light Drifter, has been announced by the developers at Heart Machine. The original was a pixelated action adventure RPG in the vein of classic 16bit games, you will find that the sequel is a full 3D experience with much improved graphics. While you will be waiting until 2023 for the release, you can head over to the Steam page for the game and add it to your wishlist!

Hyper Light Drifter was a rather well-reviewed title, so hopes are high that the follow-up game is going to be able to improve upon the blueprint that the original has left for it.
