It’s only natural to expect that sequels will be better, more polished versions of their predecessors. While Hyper Light Drifter was a 2D experience crafted mostly for solo players with primitive shared-screen coop, Hyper Light Breaker is supposed to take it to another level. Not only will we be thrown into a 3D world, but also the game will be more suited for the full-fledged multiplayer journey. With the Early Access debut of HLB getting closer and closer by the day, let’s take a moment to analyze how the title will be crafted in terms of sharing the fun with others.

Multiplayer, single player, and coop in Hyper Light Breaker explained

It’s always great to have options. There are people who prefer solo exploration in full concentration mode, while others take it more lightly, playing just as a pretext to engage in deep, long conversations with their friends and close ones. In Hyper Light Breaker both of those types will find something for themselves, as the title is prepared for fans of both, solo adventures, as well as multiplayer, coop enjoyers.

Just as the first production in the series, HLB will allow for a lonely journey through the world of the Overgrowth, yet it will also make it possible to cooperate with up to 2 more players. As of now, Steam page shows only “Single-player” and “Online Co-op” labels, meaning that no PvP is planned. We have to keep in mind, though, that the game will be released in Early Access first, which means that many features and ideas are subject to change.

If you would like to give coop a try, yet you have no one to share this experience with, getting on Heart Machine’s official discord server is a great idea. There you will find other people sharing the same passion for Hyper Light’s universe. Have fun!
