Heart Machine and Gearbox Publishing have released a Hyper Light Breaker world overview trailer, taking players through the vastness of the Overgrowth setting and additionally providing fans with a new look at the game’s combat and bosses.

Watch the Hyper Light Breaker world overview trailer below:

With full day-night and weather cycles and composed out of a mix of handcrafted and procedurally-generated elements, the Overgrowth includes the following biomes:

  • The Settlement, which appears to act as a hub for Breakers
  • Drowned City, which is a dilapidated, forgotten ruin
  • Acid Mire, which is an overwhelmingly-purple biome with unique vegetation
  • Jeweled Spire, which features large crystal formations and monsters
  • Shattered Fortress, a snow-covered region housing the ruins of a once-great castle

Each run through the Overgrowth will be unique as the environment is dynamically generated:

“With Hyper Light Breaker, you’ll come to find you’re exploring an open world that you’ll only see once,” said Alx Preston, Hyper Light Breaker and Heart Machine creative director. “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!”

As players explore Hyper Light Breaker’s vast, ever-changing open world, the Overgrowth, they’ll discover distinct biomes that are filled with vicious enemies and intense bosses, deep labyrinths and hidden secrets. Each biome in the Overgrowth is vastly different from the next, each presenting its own set of challenges, environments and stories.

Within every biome, players will find that the day and night cycle completely changes the world around them, and makes the Overgrowth even more deadly. As each day passes and night begins, players will discover that enemies get more powerful, foes slain during the day have a chance of respawning, and more hazards occur across the world – making each run satisfying and challenging even as players grow in skill and knowledge in this world.

Hyper Light Breaker’s Steam Early Access period will begin in Fall 2023. Those interested can wishlist the game on its Steam page here.
