A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

We wanted to share an update with our community. Hyper Light Breaker will not be receiving further development for the time being. We’re incredibly grateful for the passion and support you’ve shown since Early Access. Please stay tuned to our official channels and Steam page for any future updates. - The Arc Games Team
It's a messy time over at Heart Machine, developer of the beloved Hyper Light Drifter and its ill-fated hack 'n' slash successor Hyper Light Breaker. The latter debuted to mixed Steam reviews and muted sales when it carved its way into early access back in January, resulting in layoffs at Heart Machine and work on Hyper Light Breaker ceasing prematurely... Read more.
With lofty expectations stemming from its incredible RPG Hyper Light Drifter, Heart Machine had a tough task ahead of it with Hyper Light Breaker. A co-op roguelike based in the same universe and with suitably striking visuals, the game was packed with potential, but sadly struggled to find its feet in early access. The studio has been working hard on turning things around with major updates, but it's now been confirmed that development on Hyper Light Breaker will be ending as Heart Machine goes through another round of layoffs.

Just nine months after its open-world roguelike Hyper Light Breaker hit early access, Heart Machine has hit the rocks. Per Game Developer, the studio is laying off an indeterminate number of staff and ending development on its most recent game, which encountered a rough reception when it launched into early access in January, with players lamenting performance issues, control problems, bugs, and the fact that the game might just be a smidge too hard...

Minor Update Increased Gravenheart’s stamina to two pips by default. Bug Fixes Community Report: Fixed a bug where all map items would become viewable from the menu while in the hub. Fixed issue with Vesia’s missing standing turns animation. Fixed an issue where damaging Dro during her mid fight animation at 50% health caused her to loop that animation. Improved issue where Dro would sometimes slide during combat. Fixed issue where the Infiltrator assassin was not spawning during assassin events. Fixed an issue where interacting with the soup vendor, then another vendor caused the wrong UI to
A stylish co-op roguelike base in the world of one of the all-time great indie hits, Hyper Light Breaker's elevator pitch seemed like a strong one. However, since its early access launch at the start of the year, it's really struggled. Sure, early access is designed to be a time of learning and improvement, but it failed to make a lasting impact with fans of the genre and its celebrated sibling, Hyper Light Drifter. With 1.0 coming next year, developer Heart Machine is putting in some serious graft to turn things around, and today it's shadow-dropped a new Hyper Light Breaker update that I bel
In a new trailer at the Gamescom edition of the Future Games Show, Heart Machine simultaneously revealed and launched the latest early access update to Hyper Light Breaker, which includes new systems, a playable character, a fresh boss, and floating islands in the open world. I got a chance to see the new additions in a hands-off gameplay presentation last week, and here are the topline changes:.. Read more.

Hello Breakers! Time flies when you’re having fun, and we can already reveal that our June Monthly Update will launch next Monday, June 16! As we’ve shared in our Summer Edition Roadmap, this is the second monthly update before our next major content drop. Let's take a first look at what you can expect from next week’s update! June Monthly Update Preview Update for the Amp system: Similar to how Blades and Rails work, we’re adding rarity scaling and Affixes to Amps. The higher the rarity of your Amps, the more Affixes will be on the item, and Breakers will also have their own “preferred” Amps.
Breakers! With spring about to end, the moment we've all been eagerly awaiting is finally here: the Summer Edition of our Early Access roadmap! Since Early Access launch way back in January (time flies when you’re in The Overgrowth!), we've been working hard on going out with consistent updates each month filled with content, gameplay improvements, bug fixes and more, including our first major content update in April, Buried Below, which changed things up quite a bit (ICYMI: details here!) The Breaker team is pouring that same effort into our next Major update, as we continue to make Hyper Lig
Hello Breakers! We’ve got a small hotfix today, closing up a few issues that cropped up in our last release. 🐛 Bug Fixes: Removed Corundum affix temporarily while it gets updated to function with the new armor system. This had been removed, but Crystal is too strong both in-game and in-code and announced it could not be tamed by man nor beast. Fixed an issue where the Shock Status Effect could combine with the impact implosion holobyte and allow you to damage yourself. Fixed a few issues with Root Hash Hack. White Dirk Allies no longer injure players when they die. Enemy White Dirks will stil
