Hytale, the Minecraft-like adventure game that has been years in the making, is finally set to launch this week. After facing a tumultuous past, including being shut down by Riot Games and then going independent again, Hypixel Studios has secured its future with a two-year development plan.
The game's developer, Simon Collins-Laflamme, has made it clear that Hytale will be in true early access mode when it launches on January 13th, meaning it will still have its fair share of bugs. However, the team behind the game is committed to making Hytale the best version possible, with a "personal commitment" from Collins-Laflame lasting an astonishing 10 years.
Hytale promises to blend the freedom of a sandbox with the momentum of an RPG, allowing players to explore procedurally generated worlds full of dungeons, secrets, and creatures. The game's initial launch will focus on polished core systems, including exploration, responsive combat, and robust building, alongside creator-first tools for making custom content.
The game is expected to attract over 1 million players at launch, with a price tag of $19.99 starting from January 13th. While there won't be a mobile version during early access, the developers plan on releasing Hytale on consoles "at a later stage".
It's reassuring to note that Hypixel has secured two years' worth of development costs through pre-purchases, which bodes well for the game's future. Despite the rocky past of its developer, Hytale seems poised to offer an exciting experience for gamers looking for a Minecraft-like adventure.
The game is set to launch on PC, Mac, and Linux on January 13th, marking a significant milestone for Hypixel Studios after facing numerous setbacks. With a dedicated team behind it and a clear vision, Hytale has the potential to become a beloved game in its own right.

They must've been really tired when they decided to invest 10 years of their life into one project lol. Two years of dev costs is a big deal tho, it shows they're serious about getting it right 
PC players are gonna love the building mechanics, though. I'm intrigued by the RPG elements too 
Can't wait to see what kind of content the community comes up with 
. I mean, 10 years of personal commitment from Simon Collins-Laflamme is insane 
! The fact that they're going with an early access model makes me nervous (in a good way 
), but at least they're upfront about it and working to iron out those pesky bugs.
. Procedurally generated worlds, dungeons, secrets, and creatures? Count me in 
! And creator-first tools for custom content? That's a major win for players who like to get creative 
.
. But hey, if the game delivers on its promises, I'm more than happy to shell out the cash 
. Fingers crossed for a smooth launch and a loyal player base 
.
also, 19.99 seems kinda steep but i guess ur paying for quality? 
and people were talking about hypixel servers... i'm so stoked hytale is finally coming out, been waiting for ages. early access is cool, it means we'll get to see the game grow and improve with time. 1 million players at launch? that's crazy! 
and yeah, mobile version might be a ways off, but consoles are a good plan. hypixel has come a long way since riot games drama 
. And 10 yrs of commitment? That's dedication 
. But what really gets me excited is the team's commitment to the game's future. 10 years of Simon Collins-Laflame's dedication? That's a big deal! 
.
. 10 years of Simon Collins-Laflamme's personal commitment? That's dedication 
! And with a solid two-year plan, I'm low-key hyped for the early access mode 
? 1 million players at launch? Let's get this party started! 
. Fingers crossed it'll be a hit and live up to all the hype! 
10 years of development is insane
