Today marks one week since the early access release of Hytale<\/a>, the Minecraft-like that was famously rescued from oblivion earlier this year by original co-founder Simon Collins-Laflamme. By all appearances it’s been a very successful rebirth, and Collins-Laflamme underscored that feeling with a message on X<\/a> saying he has “no regrets” about resurrecting the game.<\/p>\n

It was a sticky situation for a while: Riot’s decision to cancel Hytale and close Hypixel Studios<\/a> after seven years of work (and for reasons that will probably never be entirely clear) seemed a definitive end to the story, but a seemingly faint hope that someone would step in to save the day became reality when Collins-Laflamme struck a deal to reacquire the whole thing<\/a> in November 2025. The reborn studio managed to get the game out the door just two months later, and while it’s still notably very early access, it’s also pretty good<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s now been 7 days since early access launch and I can confidently say that I have no regrets saving Hytale, it\u2019s been the most challenging but rewarding experience of my life,” Collins-Laflamme wrote.<\/p>\n

“Thank you everyone for the amazing support, and a big thank you for the rebuilt Hytale team for trusting me to get this to the finish line in just a few months. I haven\u2019t been involved with Hytale development for many years and coming back was a big unknown and risk for me, and my family. I fully trusted the people and it just worked. Amazing team, every single one made a big difference.”<\/p>\n

Hytale isn’t on Steam so we don’t have access to concurrent player numbers, but it sure seems like it’s going well. The day before early access release Collins-Laflamme said pre-purchases had “officially secured the next two years of development costs<\/a>,” and when it launched the following day it became the most-watched game on Twitch<\/a>, with more than 420,000 viewers. Modders are doing some amazing things with it<\/a> too.<\/p>\n

But none of that was assured in advance, and there was real risk in the venture: Riot Games, with nearly-limitless resources, couldn’t get the job done, and while there seemed to be a high level of demand for the game, there also seemed to be a high level of demand for a theatrical re-release of Morbius, and we all know how that worked out. (And in case you don’t know, it did not work out well<\/a>.) Given all that, I’d say Collins-Laflamme deserves a little bit of a victory lap, even if it is just reassuring Hytale fans that everything worked out as they’d hoped.<\/p>\n
