Hytale arrives in Early Access in January 2026 after being revived

After being cancelled by Riot Games and revived as an indie game again, Hytale is now set for an Early Access launch in January 2026. Pre-purchasing will open December 13th, with it going live January 13th.

No doubt many are excited about this since it had a lot of followers watching it in previous years, thanks to its blend of a sort-of Minecraft style but more of a proper RPG. So a bit like Minecraft and Skyrim combined you might say.

In a fresh announcement the developer makes it clear this will be a very real early access, not like a lot of the early access styled stuff we see on Steam where the game is nearly finished. This will be "very much unfinished and will be buggy for a while" and they expect the "first impression will be rough". Still, it's going to be nice to finally see it out, and with the creators actually in full control.

Just over a week ago they also put up a nice long slice of gameplay too:
