As we keep weekly updates rolling in Early Access for Hytale, we're also working in parallel on larger content updates, delivered as chapters, that will slowly unfold the Cursebreaker story arc. When it reaches the final chapter, Orbis will be within reach and the game will be fully released!
If you've been playing the Exploration Mode, you've probably noticed that the curse is quiet at the moment. That will change as the first chapter begins, and you'll need to make difficult choices that carry lasting consequences for the world around you, and yourself.
Keep in mind, we're not going deep on narrative for Early Access, however, the Cursebreaker arc is how you'll see the game progress, chapter by chapter. It's a journey we share with the community, and when it's done, it becomes a memory for those who were there.
Hytale has a lot of potential, and that's a responsibility we don't take lightly. We're bringing in the right people and we can finally just focus on making a great game. No funding concerns, fully independent. All that's left is to work hard, have fun and keep engaging with our amazing community.
Tweaking up everyone's favourite Magma Rhino Toad for the next patch to make it feel more interesting to fight. Neither a nerf nor a buff.
The toad spams the tongue move less now but has more mobility with this gap closer. @Hytale
Seeing all these people shitting on Hytale is genuinely insane to me.
- Game gets announced 9 years ago, one of the most hyped up games ever
- Developer makes 20 million from selling Hytale to Riot, can literally retire for the rest of his life
- Riot runs Hytale into the ground over the course of years, community gets strung along for the ride
- Riot CANCELS Hytale, community is in complete shambles
- Developer comes out of retirement when he and his wife recently started a family to try and save the game, makes a bid and reacquires the IP
- Bid gets accepted, dev spends months away from family to undo all the years of bad development so the game can become playable asap
- Sets a release date that’s super early because although he knows the game is extremely unfinished, he wants to get it out asap so the community can finally play it
- Spends WEEKS telling everyone how unfinished the game is to temper everyone’s expectations but promises consistent updates
- Game releases, half the people are shitting on it because it’s unfinished and they say it’s not worth $20
- ???
I haven’t played the game yet because I wanted to wait until it was a little more complete, but seeing all the discourse actually makes me want to play it sometime this week.
Regardless though, it’s genuinely insane to me that this game is already so ahead of its time even in early access that people are legitimately comparing it to MODDED MINECRAFT (a modded version of a finished game that’s been out for 20 years) and think that they’re valid for doing so.
Keep up the great work @Simon_Hypixel , as someone who wanted to play this game since I was 16 years old because I always loved games like Minecraft and Cube World, I’m thankful that there has come a point in my life where I actually am able to.
People are always going to look for reasons to hate on everything; don’t let the negative noise drown out the fact that starting yesterday, you were able to fulfill a dream millions of people have had for almost a decade now of finally being able to play your game.
Hey Everyone!!!
I am so glad to announce that Play Hosting is now offering FREE HYTALE SERVER HOSTING!
This makes us the first ever free hosting provider for Hytale, and I'm so excited to give you the chance to play with your friends without relying on peer-to-peer connections!
ALL OF THIS WAS FUNDED BY USING CODE TUBBO SO THANK YOU!
@Simon_Hypixel I’d really like a way to immediately put an item in my utility wheel without having to drag it over to the slot from my inventory. Similar to modern mc hitting the utility wheel button while hovering over like torches to have it automatically go into the wheel would be a godsend
I just watched the most disburbing Hytale video I have ever seen lmao, posting tomorrow 10AM EST. It can't go on the official account... You will understand👀
Don't miss it.
Tomorrow, 10 AM EST
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.
