A ‘Minecraft’ Inspired Action RPG Just Returned From The Dead

Riot Games canceled the game Hytale in June, leading to the closure of developer Hypixel. Nearly five months later, Hypixel co-founder Simon Collins-Laflamme acquired the rights to Hytale and released a 16-minute gameplay video. The footage, described as "raw and broken," showcases a combat-oriented world reminiscent of Minecraft, with intricate combat mechanics and creation tools for player customization. Collins-Laflamme has shifted the game's vision to include robust support for mods and player-generated content. Although the game has been in development since 2015 and lacks a specific release date, there are indications that an early access launch date will be announced soon. Over 30 developers from the previous Riot Games team have been rehired, and Collins-Laflamme is looking to expand the team to expedite the early access version of Hytale.

I asked the man in charge of a major live service game if ugly crossover skins are a problem, and I didn’t care for his answer

Alex Karpazis, the creative director of Rainbow Six Siege X, discussed the impact of crossover skins on the gaming experience, noting a significant shift in the game's aesthetic since its launch. Initially focused on realistic tactical gear, the game has incorporated eclectic cosmetics influenced by franchises like The Boys, Iron Maiden, and Rick & Morty since 2018. Karpazis highlighted the new elite skin for Clash as a return to tactical roots, while also defending the Paragon skin for Valkyrie as a blend of tactical and fantastical elements. He acknowledged community concerns about the disjointed aesthetic and mentioned that the idea of an "immersion mode" allowing players to use default skins is under discussion, though no plans have been finalized.

How to get and equip capes in Minecraft

Minecraft capes have become more accessible to players due to a change in the distribution model by Mojang Studios. Players can acquire capes through various methods, including merging Mojang and Microsoft accounts, watching Minecraft content during special events, submitting custom maps, playing new updates, and receiving seasonal items in the Minecraft Marketplace. In Java Edition, players can equip capes by navigating to the Skins tab in the launcher, selecting or creating a skin, and choosing a cape from their inventory. In Bedrock Edition, players can access capes through the Dressing Room and select their desired cape from the inventory. Optifine allows players to equip custom capes visible only to other Optifine users, which require a donation to obtain. Players can view their capes in-game through the inventory screen or by switching to third-person mode. Certain capes remain exclusive to developers or contributors, making them rare and highly sought after.
