Long-Awaited Minecraft-Like MMO Hytale Launches in Early Access and Seemingly Registers Big Player Numbers Right Away

Hytale is now available in early access after its creator reacquired the rights from Riot Games. Players can purchase the game from the official website with three options: Standard (), Supporter (), and Cursebreaker (9). The game has reportedly seen a high rate of new players, although initial claims of 2.8 million users were debunked due to server issues. The development team revitalized a dormant build in eight weeks, addressing core systems and bugs. Exploration Mode features an infinite, procedurally generated world with biomes, structures, and creatures, allowing players to explore, craft, and engage in multiplayer experiences. Creative Mode offers building tools and specialized entity tools. Modding support is available from day one, with partnerships for robust content creation. Hytale supports multiplayer across all modes and plans to introduce Adventure Mode, official Minigames, and social features.

Kingdom Come 2 Studio Cut This Feature Because It Was “Too Bizarre And Too Much Work”

Warhorse Studios revealed that an ambitious eating system for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, which would allow the protagonist Henry to gain or lose weight based on food consumption, did not make the final cut. This feature would have influenced Henry's wardrobe choices and the sizes of non-playable characters (NPCs) in the game. Players could alter Henry's physique through his eating habits, affecting which clothing items fit him. However, the feature was deemed too complex and not enjoyable, leading to its exclusion. The game is currently available for purchase and has received a 9/10 rating from GameSpot, being praised for its complexity and player choice.
