Hyper Light Drifter: Download the New Version for Windows

In a surprise move, the Epic Games Store has made Hyper Light Drifter available for free download until December 28th. This action role-playing game is a nostalgic throwback to classic 8-bit and 16-bit games like The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.

Developed by Heart Machines, Hyper Light Drifter follows the story of the Drifter, a character with access to technology long forgotten by the rest of the world. As players progress through the game, they must face increasingly challenging monsters and challenges while relying on the music and visuals to tell the story.

Despite the Epic Games Store not supporting Linux, the game is available for download on Windows-powered PCs. Interestingly, the store's system requirements only list Windows PC support, despite Hyper Light Drifter being available on Steam for both Linux and macOS.

This is not the first time that Hyper Light Drifter has been available for free on the Epic Games Store. In August 2019, the game was also given away for free as part of a promotion. Players have until December 28th at 4 PM GMT to redeem their free copy of the game, making this an excellent opportunity for PC gamers to experience this indie classic.

The '12 Days of Free Games' promotion by Epic Games Store offers players a chance to download Hyper Light Drifter and other exciting games for free. Don't miss out on this limited-time offer and get ready to embark on an epic adventure with the Hyper Light Drifter.
