| Hyper Light Drifter

Hyper Light Drifter is one of those games that everyone talks about still, even after launching several years ago - and it's finally making its way to Switch.

Launching on September 6th (that's only one week away!), the game sees you running around a gorgeous pixel art world, dashing between platforms, slashing enemies, and marvelling at all the sights to see.

The Switch version is a "special edition", featuring a shiny new blue outfit and a couple of new weapons to try out if you've played the game before.

I've always been curious about Hyper Light Drifter but never got round to playing it, so a Switch version is perfect news for me. You can pre-purchase it this very second and get it downloaded ahead of its release on September 6th.
