Developer Heart Machine and publisher Arc Games have stealth-released a free update to Hyper Light Breaker. Titled "Double Down," the update was revealed as part of Future Games Show at Gamescom 2025, and it adds new content to explore in the game, which is currently in early access on PC via Steam.
A Unique Open World Roguelike
Hyper Light Breaker is an action roguelike that is part of the same franchise as indie success Hyper Light Drifter. In the new game, players must explore 3D open worlds and battle through an area called Overgrowth, which is composed of many scattered biomes.
It's possible to either face the challenges alone or count on friends to help with defeating the hordes there through online co-op. As players advance through the areas and make their builds stronger by overcoming tough situations, they'll get ever closer to beating the Crowns and the Abyss King.
The game was originally released this year on January 14 in Early Access, and it's currently still in the process of expanding according to player feedback. The update comes along with a video that shares a look at the new additions.
