Heart Machine is working hard. They made the games Hyper Light Drifter in 2016 and Solar Ash in 2021. Now, they are working on a new game called Hyper Light Breaker. But that’s not all—they just announced another new game.
This game is called Possessor(s), and it looks amazing. Its visual style is similar to the games Inside and Supergiant’s Hades 2 and Pyre, with detailed anime-like characters. The trailer for Possessor(s) is very impressive and exciting.
Hyper Light Drifter Developer Announces New Platformer
The creators of Hyper Light Drifter, Heart Machine, are taking players to a dark, flooded city in their new game, Possessor(s). Just like Hyper Light Drifter and Solar Ash, Possessor(s) is a fast and stylish game that fits well with Heart Machine’s style.
I was shocked to find out that not only is Hyper Light Drifter’s studio working on a second new project, it’s a return to 2D with action inspired by ‘platform fighters’ like Super Smash Bros https://t.co/uCQntfYyTy

Heart Machine describes Possessor(s) as a “fast-paced action side scroller” with fighting inspired by platform fighters. The story involves dangerous characters in a deep, interconnected world ready to be explored.
You will play as two characters—Luca, the host, and Rehm, her uncooperative partner. They must learn to work together and survive an “interdimensional catastrophe.”
The trailer shows Luca and Rehm in a dark city, where they stand out with bright colors. The trailer has slow, soft music that contrasts with the fast, intense action on the screen.
Heart Machine’s Busy Schedule
Heart Machine is very busy. The studio is getting ready to release Hyper Light Breaker, a big online adventure game. They also just announced another game coming soon: Possessor(s). This game will be available for PC and consoles in 2025.
Possessor(s) is a fast-paced action sidescroller set in a sci-fi city taken over by monsters from another dimension. The trailer shows it looking amazing — dark, dramatic, and colorful.
The game takes place in a city under quarantine, invaded by strange forces. It has 3D backgrounds and hand-painted characters with a glowing VHS style. The combat includes a lot of close fighting with found objects, sliding down hallways, and using a grappling hook. As you play, you unlock and upgrade more weapons.
The main characters are Luca and her difficult partner, Rehm. They must learn to work together to survive and find out what caused the disaster in their city. The story is open-ended with multiple paths and many characters to meet. Each new story reveals more about the larger mystery.
The trailer’s scenes look like they could be screensavers, and the combat seems very smooth. The game is being made by Heart Machine and will be published by Devolver Digital.
