Hytale Will Launch in Early Access in January 2026 as Creators Ressurrect Minecraft-Like MMO

Hytale, a Minecraft-inspired MMO, began development in 2015 with Riot Games as an early investor and later acquired Hypixel Studios. The game was canceled in June 2025, leading to the disbandment of Hypixel Studios. Simon Collins-Laflamme, the original creator, has repurchased the rights from Riot and plans to revive development, with an early access release date set for January 13, 2026. The team has rehired over 40 members, bringing the total workforce to 50. Collins-Laflamme has advised potential players to manage their expectations regarding the game's unfinished state during early access. The team is returning to the original game version, merging over 300 GitHub branches into a single working branch to prepare for the launch. Hytale and Hypixel Studios are now independent again, with a commitment to realizing the original vision from the 2018 trailer.

Revived survival RPG Hytale already has a release date after springing back to life, but the owner is reminding everyone the game ‘isn’t good yet’

Hytale has undergone a challenging seven-year development period and faced cancellation by Riot Games, but the original owner has reclaimed the project to pursue its original vision. Developer Hypixel has released new gameplay footage and announced an early access release date of January 13, 2026. However, they have cautioned players to manage their expectations, describing the footage as "raw and broken" and stating that the game is not yet in a good state. CEO Simon Collins-Laflamme advised against pre-ordering or participating in early access for those who might feel uncomfortable, while content lead Polina Logado reminded followers that it is an alpha release. Hytale aims to be an ambitious reinterpretation of the Minecraft formula despite its challenges.

You can play the new Warhammer CRPG this year, if you open your wallet wide enough

The alpha test for Warhammer 40k Dark Heresy is set to launch on December 16, with access requiring a pre-order of either the Developer's Digital Pack for approximately £59 or the Collector's Edition for around £217. This pricing strategy has raised concerns among players, particularly due to past experiences with pre-ordering and the potential for the game to require significant post-launch fixes. Many in the gaming community feel that limiting alpha test access to those willing to pay a premium is misaligned with their sentiments, especially given the trend of disappointment associated with pre-orders.
