The Release of Hytale!

Published Jan 26, 2026, 12:29 AM

Hytale is an open-world survival game created by the developers 'Simon Collins-Laflamme and Phillipe Touchette' of the Hypixel Server(April/13/2013 - Hypixel) on the well known and a nation-wide popular video game Minecraft(17/May/2009 - Mojang). Hytale was in very early development back in 2016, and has gradually upgraded over the last 10 years to were now an early access release is at the grasp of gamers around the world, and only for a sum of $23.99(£17.56) for a standard version you can acquire 3 different cosmetic looks: Forest Guardian, Voyager, and Savanna Scout, along with an exclusive standard cape with many more to come as the game develops more into its full release in the coming future!

As of yet, 2 patch notes have been released to the early access game:

Patch note 1 consisting of 'World and environment; NPCS and Creatures; Crafting, Items and Farming; Audio and Visual Effects; UI, Performance and Quality of life; Character Customization; Combat and Balance; Commands and Server; Bug Fixes and Stability'.

Patch note 2 consisting of 'Cosmetics and Customizations; Gameplay and Balance; World Generation; Farming; UI/UX; Audio and Visual Effects; Bug Fixes, Tech and Stability'.

From what I have heard from some content creators whom have reviewed Hytale on their YouTube channels, is that Hytale are working towards making the game mod-friendly, meaning for mod makers to have free will to create a wide-range of modded capabilities into the framework of Hytale, either through cosmetic means or NPC and Creature means. Straight of the bat, multiple gamers alike have shown their 'aw' factor for Hytale, showing that the game is definitely more than what they were expecting. Personally I am yet to test the game out for myself, however despite Hytale being very early access, it does not seem to have many bugging issues at this time, which is very rare in the gaming industry!

So, what does Hytale have in store for us so far? Hytale has a vast environment, scaling from high-top mountain ranges, deserted savannas, to mesmerising woodlands and underwater tunnelling caves. The Hytale creatures consist of Orcs, Spiders, Dragons, Dinosaurs, Beasts(land and aquatic), Wolves, Horses, Sheep, Cows, and more 'cattle-like' animals with most notably many boss battles with scary monsters to fight, as I would assume would be the case!

As a gamer myself, I am well and truly excited to get my hands on Hytale and experience the wonders and explore the advertures of what Hytale has to offer.
