There is no clear indication what the story will look like, and Heart Machine isn't calling this a sequel explicitly. It isn't the studio's first attempt at 3D, though: it was last year's Solar Ash. Fans will be hoping that the team learns the lessons of that title, which offered some fantastic movement mechanics but was let down by sterile world-building.

Hyper Light Breaker will be published by Heart Machine. The game will be available on PC, with no other platforms mentioned in the announcement.
