ABOUT THE GAME

Hytale is a sandbox game developed and published by Canadian-Irish developer Hypixel Studios for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Set in the procedurally generated world of Orbis, it combines block-based construction with RPG-style combat and exploration, alongside support for community servers and server-side modding. Development began in 2015 among members of Hypixel's Minecraft server team, with funding from Riot Games, which purchased the studio in 2020. The game was cancelled by Riot in June 2025 and repurchased in November 2025 by its original creator, Simon Collins-Laflamme, who resumed development. Hytale was released in early access on 13 January 2026 to positive reception, surpassing one million players shortly after launch, and has since received regular updates. Its first major content expansion, Chapter 1, was previewed in July 2026.
