Hyper Light Breaker Early Access Roadmap Revealed

As an avid fan, I’m thrilled to share that the talented team behind Hyper Light Breaker, Heart Machine, have unveiled their update strategy for the early access phase. Following a slightly bumpy debut last month, the multiplayer rogue-lite has embarked on a gradual but resilient journey towards enhancing its standing. Since its release on January 13th, the game has already incorporated some essential updates to medkits and enemy difficulty levels. For a comprehensive overview, be sure to check out our Hyper Light Breaker review for an in-depth exploration.

Hyper Light Breaker content roadmap schedules an update for next week

The update for our game, Hyper Light Breaker, due next Tuesday, February 18th, is packed with numerous modifications. Amongst these changes, what fans have been eagerly anticipating is the addition of a fresh player character. At present, the game offers only three breakers or playable characters, each with the ability to wield any weapon or gear. However, they possess unique skills that set them apart. The new Breaker we’re introducing is Ravona, a mysterious figure resembling a hooded bird with a blue mask and luminous eyes.

This upcoming update will introduce temporary weapon enhancements called holobytes, which can either be found in the Overgrowth or bought from the hub world. Additionally, there will be new passive abilities for weapons known as affixes. The update will also feature new enemies, along with general improvements to performance, bug fixes, and balancing adjustments. Heart Machine has announced that they intend to rebalance combat, as they acknowledge they may have overestimated the difficulty level in the game for players compared to their internal team standards. In an interview with GamesRadar+, the developers revealed that they had made the game too challenging for players and are now focusing on improving the largely underused parry system. They mentioned that significant changes have been made to the parry over the course of development and that some of these improvements will be visible in the February update.

Moving forward, Heart Machine has an upcoming update in March, focusing on a new assassin instead of a fresh player character. These formidable foes will pursue you if you linger too long in the Overgrowth. In April, players can anticipate the first significant update, titled “The Buried Below Update.” This expansion won’t just introduce a new playable character, but also a new boss (or Crown), fresh territories to discover, and additional features similar to those in previous updates.

heart Machine has revealed only what’s been shared for now, but there are exciting updates planned all the way up to 2025. These include new bosses, areas, playable characters, and plenty more. However, specific details will be unveiled at a later time. In the meantime, Hyper Light Breaker is steadily progressing towards its intended form.
