To say that fans have been eagerly anticipating an official sequel to Heart Machine's seminal 2016 action-adventure game Hyper Light Drifter is an understatement. While Heart Machine released the in-universe Solar Ash in 2021, the upcoming launch of Hyper Light Breaker marks the first true follow-up to Hyper Light Drifter, and it's one of 2025's most anticipated titles. To assist with transitioning from Hyper Light Drifter's 2D world to a 3D rendition in Breaker, the team at Heart Machine utilized procedural generation, albeit in a way that affords greater control.
