#WHEN WAS HYTALE ANNOUNCED MOD#
The fact that a mod team could attract attention and funding from some of the biggest names in gaming is something worth highlighting for all budding young modders with dreams of where they could take their work and skills in the future.



This allowed the team to develop the skills and attract a group of investors, including luminaries from Riot Games, Blizzard, Nexon, and more. Regardless of whether Hytale itself takes off, this announcement could be considered a true modding success story, as the formation of the developer was funded and made possibly by the team’s work on Minecraft’s Hypixel server network. Hytale will also include a suite of creation tools to encourage its own mod community All of this will be possible with the release of the very same tools to players that Hypixel is using to make Hytale themselves. Hypixel is promising not just world and quest creation tools, but also options for creating models, scripting, machinima-style filmmaking, animating, and building new worlds themselves. Hytale will also include a suite of creation tools to encourage its own mod community of all different levels of experience to form and share their content with the world. The difference here is that Hytale includes quests and adventures created by Hypixel studios to discover, as well as minigames reminiscent of those found in the Hypixel Minecraft servers. It’s called Hytale, and it’s a creation-focused sandbox akin to Minecraft, with a procedurally generated world, dungeons to explore, monsters to fight, equipment to craft, and roleplaying-style progression. The actual game that Hypixel Studios is working on continues their mod-focused approach. The acquisition follows a monumental launch for Hypixel Studios that began with the announcement of its debut title, Hytale, which has amassed over 2.5 million. "Hypixel Studios marks this mod team's transformation from a group of modders into a fully-fledged, proper games studio." The people behind Hypixel, one of Minecrafts most popular servers, are working to deliver a new experience that incorporates sandbox & RPG elements. 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. What is Hytale Hytale is a much anticipated game, release announced for the early 2020s. 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. These include combat being revamped with new metrics and effects, advancements to creature AI to have enemies make smarter decisions, and a new piece from the game's soundtrack.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. Hypixel Studios end the blog post with details about new features. In the post the team also say they will now stop releasing weekly screenshots onto the game's Twitter account, because the major technical changes will mean that, for a time, it will be more complicated to produce screenshots and clips that accurately reflect the experience that players will have. This expanse in scope means making major changes to Hytale's engine to run on more playforms, necessitating this delay. The studio want the game released on all platforms simultaneously as the community would ultimately find itself split across versions and devices if they didn't, like what has happened to the two main Minecraft editions. The second is that Hypixel Studios want the game to release on desktop, console and mobile simultaneously – previously it was only in development for PC, though a mobile and console release was planned for after release on PC. The first is that the scope of what we can do has expanded – the studio wants to do more with their game. Hypixel Studios offer several reasons for this long delay. Even before that the team had anticipated a 2019 release, but stretched this out after the game's announcement trailer received over 50 million views. The original release date for Hytale, announced in 2019, was 2021, which the team subtly rescinded last December. The blog post starts off with the important news – Hytale will not be ready until 2023 at the earliest, and it could very well take longer. In a new development update, the first this year, the team explain what they've been working on in silence over the past half year. Hypixel Studios' much-anticipated upcoming game Hytale has a new release window – and it's not soon.
