The latest from theHyper Light Drifterteam arrives in October
Heart Machine has set a date for its next project, as today the studio announcedSolar Ashwill launch for PlayStation 4, PS5, and PC via Epic Games Store on Jul 20, 2025.
Solar Ashis the latest from Heart Machine, the studio behind 2016’sHyper Light Drifter. Set in a 3D world,Solar Ashhas even more traversal options, but still has a similar colorful, vivid, surreal style you might associate withHyper Light Drifter.
The release date was announced alongside a new trailer during today’sAnnapurna Interactive Showcase:
According to the description,Solar Ashwill see your protagonist journeying through a surreal and stylized world, with high-speed traversal and massive enemy encounters. Its focus on movement and massive enemies reminds me of another Annapurna-published jam,The Pathless, and ifSolar Ashhas similarly fluid and fun movement, I’m definitely interested.
There’s been somefootage around for a while nowfor Heart Machine’s latest, and it’s exciting to see Heart Machine finally set a date for its launch. Between the world and the speedy movement and traversal shown off in the trailer, and those really cool character designs, this could be one to watch for in the middle of the fall release season.
SolarAshwill launch for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC via the Epic Games Store on Oct. 26.
