Hytale Latest News

 ⚫︎ Hytale has finally pinned down a release date after 11 years of development and delays.

Hytale Overview

Hytale is an open-world sandbox RPG inspired by the best-selling video game of all time and pioneer of its genre, Minecraft. Similar to its predecessor, Hytale encourages immense levels of creativity and freedom in its gameplay, allowing players to explore what it has to offer through game modes that cater to different playstyles.

Hytale is created by Hypixel Studios, which initially started out as a YouTube channel that went on to create a mega popular Minecraft server that went by the name of Hypixel. The team was later taken in by Riot Games, creators of League of Legends. Following a split in November 2025, Hypixel Studios then went on to finish development for the highly-anticipated Hytale, which would see its first early access release on January 13, 2026, 11 years after it was first unveiled.
