Hyper Light Drifter

Earlier this week, Abylight Studios announced yet another game for the Nintendo Switch: Hyper Light Drifter, coming this Summer. This comes as the result of a collaboration with Heart Machine, the developers of the original games.

As for why the game is only coming to the Nintendo Switch “now”, it’s because GameMaker support for the Nintendo Switch was only very recently announced. In the press release, Abylight explain that they are working with YoYo Games (developers of the engine), since the game is quite demanding.

Hyper Light Drifter is an action adventure RPG which features intense action, other-worldly environments and a captivating storyline. Our Hero is haunted by an insatiable illness, traveling further into the lands of Buried Time, hoping to discover a way to quiet the vicious disease much like its creator, Alex Preston, who suffers of a heart disease, major source of inspiration for this game.

Nindies

During a press conference held at the Game Developers Conference, Nintendo revealed the Top 10 of the best-selling indie games worldwide:

  • SteamWorld Dig 2
  • Stardew Valley
  • Kamiko
  • Celeste
  • FAST RMX
  • Golf Story
  • Enter the Gungeon
  • Overcooked: Special Edition
  • NBA Playgrounds
  • Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove

NB: the games are listed in no particular order, which means SteamWorld Dig 2 wasn’t necessarily the best-selling game in that list.
