    Hyper Light Breaker’s early access release has been pushed to next year.

    Early access was supposed to launch this fall, but now it’s happening “early” next year, creative director Alx Preston said in a video. The 3D, co-op, open-world roguelike looks like my absolute jam, so I’m happy to wait a bit longer until it’s ready.

    If you’re interested in learning more about Hyper Light Breaker, check out my interview with two of the game’s composers.

    Microsoft has pulled more of its poorly-written travel articles.

    Business Insider found that Microsoft removed articles that defined the terms “hamburger” and “seafood” and a photo recommendation article that suggested eating wagyu beef.

    None of those are as egregious as the one suggesting people go to an Ottawa food bank on “an empty stomach,” but they cast further doubts on Microsoft’s processes for making these articles.

    Microsoft said last week that the Ottawa article was due to “human error” and “was not published by an unsupervised AI,” but didn’t comment on the processes for the other stories to Business Insider.
