Menu Home News Hardware Gaming Mobile Finance Deals Reviews How To Wccftech Gaming Hyper Light Breaker’s First Major Update, Buried Below Arrives Next Week David Carcasole • Apr 24, 2025 at 12:00pm EDT Developer Heart Machine's Hyper Light Breaker launched at the top of the year in Early Access, and the studio has officially announced that its first major update, Buried Below, will arrive on April 29, 2025. Regarding what's new in the update, a new Breaker called Rondo will be added to the game, who comes with a new SyCom with two perks, a new crown called Maw, two new melee weapons, and new environments to run through, such as caves. The rest of the major changes are quality-of-life updates and significant changes to the run structure. In a press release, Heart Machine calls it "the most significant feature overhaul yet with a complete rework of the game's run structure." Players will now have one life per run, losing items in their inventory and resetting the Overgrowth when they die. Heart Machine says this change will allow the team to "better adjust difficulty and make the game easier to get into but harder to master." Along with this change comes a few new gameplay loops, including introducing more ways for players to leave the Overgrowth, SyComs following more of a class-like system with character customization being redesigned, and streamlining vendors and player inventory. The final significant aspect of the update is an improved onboarding path. Once the update is live, first-time players will be thrown into a tutorial that will take them through the game's core mechanics and explain a few key aspects they'll need to know with Hyper Light Breaker. Heart Machine hopes that this new tutorial will be useful to first-time players and even returning players who may just want a refresher on the basics. As part of the new update being revealed, Heart Machine is providing Wccftech 20 game keys to giveaway beginning Wednesday, May 7, 2025, a week after the update will have gone live. Make sure to follow Wccftech's and Heart Machine's social channels to be prepared for the giveaway so you don't miss it.
