Quick summary
Heart Machine, the US-based makers of Hyper Light Drifter , its multiplayer spinoff Hyper Light Breaker , and last year’s Possessor(s) , have laid off "nearly everyone" on staff after an unnamed publisher pulled funding for their next, unannounced game.
What we know so far
Automatic note by LuaCat Games, built from what we know about the coverage (who reported it, how many sites, the story’s history) — not a translation or copy of the source.
So far, only Rock Paper Shotgun is talking about this — if confirmation shows up, it’ll be added here.
Bottom line: Better wait for someone else to confirm before taking it as a given.
