Hytale<\/em>, a more action-packed take on Minecraft<\/em>, will be available for $20 when it relaunches in early access, Hypixel Studios announced on X<\/a>.

I\u2019m pricing Hytale as aggressively low as possible. I\u2019m taking on a considerable personal risk after repurchasing the game and getting it ready for early access for a growing team of now 50 talented individuals. I said I was all in, and I am delivering on that promise.<\/p>\n

Hypixel Studios shared footage<\/a> of Hytale<\/em> the day after it announced its deal with Riot Games. The game was originally cancelled by Riot<\/a> in June 2025, after five years of development and “a major reboot of the game engine,” Hypixel CEO Aaron Donaghey said at the time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Riot Games bought Hypixel Studios<\/a> during a period of expansion that included the launch<\/a> of the company’s publishing label Riot Forge, which was responsible for League of Legends<\/em> spinoffs like Ruined King: A League of Legends Story<\/em><\/a>. Riot eventually decided to sunset Riot Forge<\/a> in 2024, alongside mass layoffs at the studio.<\/p>\n
