Minecraft has been core to our show from day one.

However, we’ve been hyped for #Hytale since the trailer in 2018. With the games launch just days away we have rebranded to cover both going forward.

You can support the show by using creator code TWE when purchasing @Hytale.

[Hytale @Hytale]

We need your help! To stress test our back end systems and get ready for the 13th we enabled downloads of the launcher. You can download and sign in to get ready now!

If you wish to pre-purchase the game, pre-orders open December 13, 2025.
If you don’t feel comfortable pre-ordering, please don’t. This is true early access, meaning it’s still very much unfinished and will be buggy for a while, but you have the team's commitment to make Hytale the game we’ve always wanted it to be.More details are coming soon. Thank you, everyone, for your support. Hytale has been through a long journey, and soon, we will be home.
