Hytale is Finally Here!
The moment has arrived - Hytale is releasing into Early Access today! When we reacquired Hytale last November and became an independent studio, we promised to launch without any delays, and we are keeping that promise. The game is currently in Early Access in its truest form - unpolished and with many bugs, but playable and feature-complete enough for you to explore Orbis.
What's Available Now
The Early Access release includes:
- Exploration Mode: Explore the procedurally generated world of Orbis, encounter diverse biomes, and discover secrets
- Creative Mode: Build anything you can imagine with Hytale's powerful creation tools
- Multiplayer: Join friends on dedicated servers and experience collaborative gameplay
- Modding Support: Full access to modding API - create custom content, scripts, and server modifications from day one
What's Coming Later
While Early Access includes substantial content, the following features are still in development:
- Official minigames and server modes
- Story-driven Adventure Mode campaigns
- Additional zones beyond Zone 1
- Enhanced social features
Development Philosophy
We're committed to rapid iteration and continuous updates based on community feedback. This Early Access period is about building the best possible experience with your help.
