The new owners of Hytale have uploaded a 16-minute gameplay video that showcases the current state of the MMO, and the hype among players is back immediately.
What kind of video is this? The new owners of Hytale have only recently acquired the Minecraft MMO from Riot, but they don’t want to make players wait long. They have released a new gameplay video that precisely shows what Hytale looks like in 2025 over the course of 16 minutes.
The video mainly shows exploration of the world with its diverse locations and dungeons. There are frequent combat scenes where the player character faces different enemies. During these encounters, the character uses various weapons, each with different skills to take down the opponents.
Here you can watch the gameplay video yourself:
New hype around Hytale
How is the video received? Within a day, the 16-minute video reached over 900,000 views on YouTube, demonstrating that the hype around Hytale has returned. Just like the saying “Dead men tell no tales” suggests, many viewers are celebrating the resurgence of the game and the gameplay video. They comment:
- @kweebec: “This is the moment we’ve been waiting for seven years.”
- @Utkuilguz: “‘Do you want to play Skyrim, Zelda, or Minecraft?’ — ‘Give me all three.'”
- @Kuulaakk: “It’s funny that Simon has released more content in the last 48 hours than the team has in four years.”
- @griz8744: “‘The game is incomplete’ — followed by a cinematic masterpiece.”
- @captain.kaboom: “Ironically, Simon’s new plan of ‘release now and add gradually’ is exactly what made Minecraft popular in the first place. Gradual updates over the years instead of a giant launch will exponentially extend the game’s lifespan.”
What’s the status of Hytale? After the development of Hytale was halted by Riot Games and the game was declared dead, the original creator of Hypixel Studios, Simon “Hypixel”, bought the game back.
He clearly states that Hytale is not in a release-ready version. Nevertheless, he wants to release the game in Early Access as soon as possible and, just like the big model Minecraft, take players along throughout the entire development. He believes that only this way can the project succeed.
When Hytale is released, it will be similar to the early days of Minecraft, where new features are continuously added and the game expands. However, it will take a long time until a full release in a genuine, finished version.
The rebirth of Hytale has immediately sparked a new hype around the game, which can be seen not only in the view counts on YouTube but also on social media.
