If you're a fan of the rather excellent Hyper Light Drifter, and just so happen to like collecting physical games on Switch, then this is absolutely the article for you.
The game's publisher, Abylight Studios, has revealed that a physical edition of the game may well be on the way. The news comes from an exchange on Twitter, where the studio responded to a fan's question on the matter. Publicly stating that they're "working on it" sounds very promising to us.
It was only a couple of days ago that we first heard about Hyper Light Drifter developer Heart Machine's next project, Solar Ash Kingdom. With a new game on the way and the potential for this physical release, it's definitely an exciting time for fans of the developer's work.
Have you been hoping for a physical edition of Hyper Light Drifter? Will you pick it up if it does arrive? Let us know in the comments.

Hmm, wasn't sure about this game, but I will probably get it when the physical comes out, I'm so bad at "fear of missing out" at the moment.
A physical release is what I'm waiting for here, I was very interested when I saw this in the Direct.
Physical orders are also sort of a way of managing my backlog, since they usually take a long time to be fulfilled, giving me time to play my backlog whilst I wait.
I own it digitally, and will absolutely double dip. Same for hollow knight, and a couple of others. Games that I'll wish to play indefinitely
The physical release will probably be done by iam8bit.

@Magician I own the PS4 physical version and it is very pretty. Would definitely pick up a physical copy for Switch.
Would be my fourth copy of the game.
Another backlog game hitting physical. I'm going to have to start saying GREAT things come to those who wait at this rate. Complaining about my backlog is starting to become moot now...
EDIT: At this point, I think I will start focusing on the games in my backlog that I pretty much know have no shot at a physical release, like the Arcade Archive or Johnny Turbo Arcade games.
@Bunkerneath Not hard to have that fear when it seems like half of the Switch's physical games are limited run things that'll cost 4x as much to buy if you don't pounce on them ASAP. It's a big reason why I decided not to go physical with the system in the first place.
Oooooo...... might be worth a double dip...
Good to know cause it is still on my wishlist waiting for a physical release.
