Hyper Light Breaker’s development is ending, and devs Heart Machine are laying off staff
Hyper Light Breaker, 3D prequel to action-RPG Hyper Light Drifter, won’t make it out of early access. Developers Heart Machine have announced that its development is ending, with an unspecified number of layoffs at the studio having been announced at the same time.
It’s a depressingly rapid downward trajectory for the follow-up to a game which generally received strong and positive reception, tempered by some criticism of elements such as how it handled communicating the best way to keep making forward progress.
