Hyper Light Breaker, the 3D co-op action game and spiritual follow-up to Hyper Light Drifter, invites players to its world via Steam Early Access tomorrow. Developer Heart Machine is ushering in the launch with a new trailer and the reveal of a limited-time bundle.

This special bundle gives players the entire Hyper Light saga by packing together Steam codes for Breakers and Drifter for 10% of its $29.99 retail price. This deal is only available during the first week of Breakers’ launch, starting January 14 and ending January 28.

While not a direct sequel to Hyper Light Drifter, Hyper Light Breaker unfolds decades earlier in the same universe, now fully realized in 3D. Players control one of three available Breakers – Lapis, Vermillion, and Goro – to explore and battle foes in the procedurally generated worlds of the Overgrowth. The third-person combat blends high-speed hack-and-slash action with ranged offense via gadgets. Hyper Light Breaker can be experienced alone or with up to two other players in online co-op. We enjoyed the game quite a bit when we played it last summer, and you can read those impressions here.

Hyper Light Breaker launches in Steam Early Access on January 14. Heart Machine promises to add new bells and whistles to the game throughout its Early Access lifecycle and plans to reveal its content roadmap in the coming weeks. This includes new Breakers, story content, gear, secrets, and more. As of now, Heart Machine expects Hyper Light Breaker to remain in Early Access for one year, but that could easily change depending on player feedback.
