None of us expected this to be such a long project, and we’re aware that this approach brings its own risks and costs. However, this means making major changes to Hytale’s engine and our approach to launch, and this extends development time.Īrriving at this decision has been a challenging process. We think it is enormously important to avoid this-to create an ecosystem where as many players as possible can play together and share their creations. It’s always been our goal to eventually release Hytale on mobile and consoles as well as PC, but it has become apparent that we were heading for a scenario where our community would ultimately find itself split across versions and devices. The second consideration is the need to develop Hytale in a way that allows us to bring it to multiple platforms as rapidly as possible.
HYTALE ANNOUNCEMENT DATE FULL
Put simply: we’re better at making games than we used to be, but taking full advantage of this takes time. The first is that our capabilities as a studio have significantly improved and the scope of what we can do has expanded.

There are two key considerations driving this assessment. However, we no longer expect to be ready to launch Hytale before 2023 at the earliest, and it could very well take longer. We don’t want to provide another estimated launch window that turns out to be incorrect. What has become increasingly apparent is that we have several more years of work ahead of us before Hytale is ready to launch. Some parts of the game have undergone radical change, while in other areas we’ve expanded on established groundwork.Īt the core of all of this is a commitment to creating the best game we possibly can-to making a contribution to the genre that surprises and delights players while empowering creators for many years to come. At the same time, our design for Hytale has been evolving. We’ve changed the way we work, steadily moving away from the exploratory approach that has defined the project’s first few years towards more efficient, targeted production milestones. We’ve continued to recruit new team members, whose talents and unique perspectives have expanded our sense of what Hytale can be. The first half of 2021 has been a period of significant change, both for Hytale and for Hypixel Studios.

Hello everyone! In today’s post, we’re going to provide an update on the progress we’ve made in the last six months, explain how our plans for Hytale have evolved, and take a look at some new and updated aspects of the game including weapon-specific combat styles, character customization, and AI.
