After the PlayStation Store leaked it yesterday, developer Heart Machine has confirmed to Gematsu that Hyper Light Drifter will be available on July 26 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Hyper Light Drifter launched back in March 2016 for PC at $19.99 USD, and in the most recent Kickstarter update on June 23, Heart Machine explained that the age ratings in Europe for the PS4 and Xbox One versions took “plenty of time and money and hoops to jump through depending on the ratings body.” Thanking YoYo Games for their patience, they added, “It took several weeks longer to get things running smooth on these systems since GameMaker can be a bit funky and we are pushing this engine beyond it’s limitations in many ways.”
Although we know when the PS4 and Xbox One versions of Hyper Light Drifter are coming, the PlayStation Vita version is a bit trickier. As Heart Machine reveals, there’s a lot of optimization work still to be done, meaning it won’t arrive on Vita until this fall at the earliest:
A more difficult platform, due to it’s limited processing power and memory. Much optimization must be done in order for our game to run smoothly for the entirety of the experience. Luckily, we have external support taking charge on this port so we aren’t ripping our own hair out. We’re getting closer, but again, this is a Fall release at the earliest considering the amount of effort being poured in on this port.
