In a newly released trailer during the Future Games Show at Gamescom, Heart Machine introduced the latest early access update for Hyper Light Breaker. This update, dubbed the Double Down update, includes several exciting features:

• New ramen vendor and collectible ingredients for cooking noodle dishes that provide single-run buffs.
• A “Glitch bar” difficulty system similar to Hades’ heat bar, where current modifiers focus on enemy damage and stagger.
• Introducing Sky Labs floating islands, offering platforming challenges, wave fights, and unique loot.
• A new boss fight featuring twin gunslingers, which is technically considered four bosses from a design perspective.
• A new heavy-hitter playable character who brings additional support to the game’s roster.

The update also improves traversal options, allowing players to paraglide down to the rest of the map from individual islands. For those eager to experience these enhancements, the latest update is available now. You can check out Hyper Light Breaker in early access on Steam.
