Overview

  • Hypixel confirmed a $19.99 standard edition alongside $34.99 Supporter and $69.99 Cursebreaker founder tiers offering cosmetics.
  • Simon Collins-Laflamme says he is locking down the release date and expects a precise answer by the end of next week, after which pre-orders, name reservations, and account creation will open.
  • Developers warn the Early Access build is four years old with many features missing, limited progression, and bugs, stating bluntly that it is "not good enough" yet.
  • The team is courting creators by taking 0% from modders and server owners for at least the first two years and by shipping now to enable community experimentation.
  • Collins-Laflamme reacquired Hytale from Riot, says he offered far above market value, is taking personal financial risk with a team of roughly 50, and has shared 16 minutes of raw gameplay to set expectations.
