This news has some gamers speculating that Hyper Light Drifter might also show up on Nintendo’s new console.
Angry Mob Games recently announced that not only would their SuperSmash Bros-esque fighter, Brawlout, be coming to the Nintendo Switch later this year, but that the eponymous protagonist of Heart Machine’s Hyper Light Drifter would be joining the game’s (currently) seven character roster.
In response to a fan, Preston replied, “looking into it!”, but didn’t clarify if he or the development team was currently working on an HLD port.
The game was originally planned to appear on both PlayStation Vita and Wii U, but due to difficulty in optimizing performance for those platforms, as well as health issues related to lead designer Alex Preston, both versions were of Hyper Light Drifter were canceled in September 2016.
