The lineup of items include:

Alex Preston has confirmed that an animated series is in the works based on his original game Hyper Light Drifter. Adi Shankar, known for producing the Castlevania show on Netflix, is involved.

Preston and Shankar are currently seeking writers and are thinking about how to translate Hyper Light Drifter’s gameplay to a non-interactive medium. The two are “leaning a lot more towards something that’s representative of the game on the style side,” according to Preston, but will probably end up looking more like an anime as opposed to sticking with pixel graphics.

Hyper Light Drifter made its way to Nintendo Switch last year in September as a digital download. A physical version didn’t happen at the time, but is seemingly now on its way. Publisher Abylight responded to a user on Twitter asking about a possible physical release of Hyper Light Drifter with “Working on it”. No further details, like a release date, were provided. Still, it’s good to have confirmation that a physical release is in the works.

Abylight is collaborating with Heart Machine to bring Hyper Light Drifter to Switch, the company announced today. A release is planned for this summer. Also, it’ll be launching worldwide.

Abylight says it’s working closely with GameMaker engine developer Yoyo Games since “this title pushed the technical envelope.”

During the early days of Hyper Light Drifter, Wii U was targeted as one of the game’s platforms. But sadly, that version was eventually cancelled due to technical issues.

A release of Hyper Light Drifter on Nintendo platforms seemed to have been ruled out. However, since the big N has a new, more powerful console on the market, Heart Machine is now “looking into” Switch.
