It’s a transformation that could be as big as other recent success stories, such as Brendan Greene’s success with PLAYERUNKNOWN's Battlegrounds arising from his Battle Royale mods, and the resurgence of ARMA II with the DayZ mod. Named after the server network which saw them soar to rising popularity, Hypixel Studios, marks this mod team’s transformation from a group of modders into a fully-fledged, proper games studio.

You can watch the Hytale announcement trailer below.Big news this week as the team behind one of the most popular mod-focused Minecraft server networks, Hypixel, announces the formation of a new games studio along with their first project. Hytale also uploads information for fans via Twitter. Fans who want to keep up with the development of this new title can do so through their blog posts. Plus, a new mysterious biome for players to explore and AI interactions have been updated. Moreover, as of March 2020, the game has had two new developers join its team for concept art and location designs. Beta signups are also available through the official website. Occasionally, Hytale hosts fan art showcases to show appreciation to its supporters.

Many players are excited about the game’s release and have begun creating fan art interpretations of its world. Hypixel plans to release the Hytale beta during some time in 2021. More information regarding the relations between the Hypixel server on Minecraft and Hytale can be found on the company’s website. Hypixel’s goal is to create a new standalone game unrelated to Minecraft. Therefore, the company has made it apparent that all player stats in the Minecraft server will not be transferred to Hytale. That server is run by Hypixel Inc., while Hytale is run by Hypixel Studios. Hypixel is also the largest public Minecraft server in the world and includes popular game modes like Bed Wars and Build Battle. We look forward to supporting the team during their development process and beyond. We’re excited to welcome Studios to Riot Games.

Riot plans to further support the development of Hytale by acquiring Hypixel Studios for future guidance. Meanwhile, Riot has been an investor for Hypixel ever since Hytale’s public development announcement back in 2018.

Game development started in 2015 at Hypixel Studios. For example, the game features block-by-block structure creating, minigame servers, dungeons with valuable loot and dangerous mobs, farming role play, in-game movie making, and much more. Hytale is an RPG sandbox block game with a wide range of opportunities for players to experience. Today, Riot Games officially acquired Hypixel Studios for the creation of Hytale.
