Pre-purchase opens December 13, 2025.
Two weeks in the past, we, the unique founders, repurchased Hytale, months after it was cancelled. We revived the venture, and we’re returning to a four-year-old legacy construct that had been deserted. We’re personally committing funding for a few years to return.
We stepped away from the newer engine, which was supposed to be a whole cross-platform rewrite, and we are actually targeted on reviving the unique model. This required selecting, selecting, and merging greater than 300 GitHub branches right into a single working department. It was a major engineering effort, however we’re now assured sufficient to launch early entry.
Hytale and Hypixel Studios are unbiased once more, and we’re returning to the unique imaginative and prescient from the 2018 trailer. As a result of we went again to an older recreation construct that was now meant for prototypes, some elements of the sport will really feel behind, however momentum is robust, and we’re working quick to make this into the sport all of us dreamed of.
Modding and artistic instruments are in a good state; nonetheless, they’re not the place we wish them long run. That being mentioned, they’re prepared for gamers who wish to create content material on day 1. This can be a good second for modders, server house owners, and creators to step in early! They may play a major position in Hytale’s future.
For the reason that cancellation, we’ve rehired greater than 40 former and new workforce members, bringing the full to 50. Reacquiring a recreation from a AAA studio and making ready an early entry launch inside weeks is uncommon, and gamers will be capable of watch the progress because it occurs.
In the event you don’t really feel comfy pre-ordering, please don’t. That is true early entry, which means it’s nonetheless very a lot unfinished and will likely be buggy for some time, however you might have my and the workforce’s dedication to make Hytale the sport we’ve at all times needed it to be.
The primary impression will likely be tough, however the path forward issues extra. Extra particulars are coming quickly. Comply with our social channels for updates, and we hope to see you on January 13, 2026.
Thanks, everybody, in your assist. Hytale has been via an extended journey, and shortly, we will likely be house.
