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>. The developer shared that it planned to relaunch Hytale<\/em> earlier this week after successfully reacquiring the rights to the game<\/a> from Riot Games.<\/p>\n Alongside its $20 “Standard” edition, Hypixel also plans to offer $35 “Supporter” and $70 “Cursebreaker” editions of Hytale<\/em> with additional in-game cosmetics. Pricing the game at $20 is an acknowledgement of how unfinished it is, according to Hypixel Studios co-founder Simon Collins-Laflamme. “I’m pricing Hytale as aggressively low as possible,” Collins-Laflamme said in an X post.<\/a> “The game is unfinished and runs on a build from over four years ago. Charging more didn’t feel right. I don’t think the game is good yet.”<\/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.<\/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<\/div>\n
