"The game has a similar blocky art style that will look familiar to anyone who's ever taken a trip to the Overworld, but the 16-minute gameplay trailer also features a lot of smooth, stylish combat. lets you whack enemies around, too, but it can feel a bit stiff. Which is fine. The best parts of Mojang's game are its crafting and building mechanics, which more than make up for its simplistic combat."
", however, looks like it focuses on the inverse. A lot of what Hypixel shows off here is the player using a whole arsenal of weapons. At first, it's giving Elder Scrolls melee combat, but then the game switches to third person, and you see that you have some additional mobility options that make it look a bit more free-flowing."
"Hypixel says it wanted to release footage of the game in motion as quickly as possible to "break the curse" after disappearing for several months, so this is essentially a proof-of-life reveal while the team prepares for Early Access. There's no set date yet, but the blog post announcement says that it will be revealed "in the coming days.""
Hypixel announced a return following a previous shutdown by Riot, with an Early Access launch expected soon. Riot canceled the game and shut down the developer in June, and the two are now reconnecting. A 16-minute gameplay trailer showcases a blocky, Overworld-like art style alongside smooth, stylish combat focused on a wide arsenal of weapons. The game emphasizes fast-paced melee and added mobility in third-person, contrasting Mojang's focus on crafting and building. Hypixel released the footage as a proof-of-life to "break the curse" after months of silence. No firm Early Access date has been given.
