It has been confirmed that Hyper Light Drifter, the Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past and Diablo-inspired action RPG, will feature some exclusive goodies when it arrives on Switch this summer.

We've known that the title is coming to Switch for a couple of months now - after the cancellation of the original Wii U build - but further details have been pretty few and far between. Thanks to this video shared by the folks at GameXplain, though, we now have some more concrete information on the upcoming port.

The most exciting news comes in the form of exclusive content for Nintendo's handheld. Firstly, a brand new - and more powerful - double sword will be included in this version, attainable at a later stage in the game. You can see the sword in action in the video above. On top of this, the game will also feature a brand new area that will be exclusive to the Switch edition, too.

It is also worth mentioning that Abylight has confirmed that the game will run at 60fps, achieving a 1080p resolution when docked. The game's achievements will be carried over to the Switch (although these will be in-game only, of course) and the game is expected to launch at a price point consistent with other versions. Players will be able to use a single Joy-Con for local co-op play, and motion control is apparently not supported. 

Will you be keeping an eye out for this one when it launches this summer? Let us know if you'll be picking it up with a cheeky comment below.
