We know that Riot Games has been making a hard push to move beyond its status of just having one major game under its umbrella, but it turns out that the developer isn’t just developing new titles to expand. The team behind Hytale has announced that the studio and the in-development title has been acquired by Riot Games, although fans are assured that this does not change Hytale’s overall development goals or plans. The main changes are just that there’s a larger budget now and more overhead support because, well… Riot is involved.
For those of you unfamiliar with Hytale, it’s a stand-alone game that spun off of the popular Hypixel Minecraft server announced in 2018. The game is promising open customization, a variety of different multiplayer game elements, and the option to play on either official servers or player-run servers. The Hypixel servers will be unaffected by this acquisition and will continue to be run by the same people, but hopefully this will ultimately be a good thing for the fans eager to see Hytale arrive.
