Overview
- Riot confirmed it sold Hytale back to co-founder Simon Collins-Laflamme, restoring full ownership and independent control.
- More than 30 former developers have rejoined, supported by a 10-year personal funding pledge from Collins-Laflamme and co-founder Philippe Touchette.
- The team is abandoning the unfinished cross-platform engine and reverting to the Legacy engine to reach players sooner.
- An early access date and pricing will be announced in the coming days for a Windows PC launch, with other platforms targeted much later.
- Early access will open with Exploration, Creative, and robust modding, while Adventure Mode and official minigames follow later, with bugs and breaking updates expected.
