Wii U and Vita Versions of Hyper Light Drifter Canceled

Heart Machine’s Alex Preston announced that the Wii U and Vita ports of Hyper Light Drifter have been canceled.

In a Kickstarter update today, developer Heart Machine’s Alex Preston announced that the Wii U and Vita ports of Hyper Light Drifter are being canceled. Preston explained that the cancellation is due largely to issues with both his health and the game’s engine – in order to release the game on the two platforms, it would need to be rebuilt from scratch.

Those who backed the game on Kickstarter and selected either the Wii U or Vita option can get a code for PC, PlayStation 4, or Xbox one, or they can opt for a full refund.

Hyper Light Drifter released in March on PC, with PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions releasing in July.
