"Hypixel Studios restarted development after buying its IP back from Riot Games. Hytale, a more action-packed take on Minecraft, will be available for $20 when it relaunches in early access, Hypixel Studios announced on X. The game was originally cancelled by Riot in June 2025, after five years of development and "a major reboot of the game engine," Hypixel CEO Aaron Donaghey said at the time."
Hypixel Studios restarted development after reacquiring Hytale's intellectual property from Riot Games. Hytale is an action-focused sandbox title inspired by Minecraft and will relaunch in early access with a $20 Standard edition, plus $35 Supporter and $70 Cursebreaker editions that include additional cosmetics. Hypixel priced the game at $20 to reflect its unfinished state and reliance on a build that is over four years old. Footage of Hytale was shared immediately after the rights transfer. Riot cancelled Hytale in June 2025 after five years of development and a major engine reboot. Riot previously acquired Hypixel during a period that included the Riot Forge publishing label, later sunset in 2024.
