A new RPG on Steam is currently impressing many players with a new trailer. They are especially reminded of Hytale and are already calling it Hytale 2.
What game is it? Everwind is an upcoming sandbox RPG on Steam that initially resembles Minecraft at first glance. Not only do the graphics and blocks look similar, but the building of structures with blocks also looks like in the original. The game was previously known as “Skyverse,” but is now called “Everwind.”
Unlike Minecraft, the RPG focuses more on combat, technology, and exploration. Despite its sandbox nature, there are bosses to defeat, loot to collect, and vehicles to build.
This trailer is currently catching fans’ attention:
Hytale 2 before Hytale?
What do fans say about the trailer? The new trailer has generated over 330,000 views on various channels on YouTube within 5 days, bringing smiles to many viewers. They often associate what they see directly with the failed Hytale from a few months ago, which will likely never be released.
This is mainly due to the block aesthetic and the procedurally generated worlds that both games have taken from Minecraft. Both titles additionally emphasize RPG elements and a crafting and progression system for the character, offering action-packed boss fights.
Features such as character customization and a co-op and multiplayer mode, where the game can be experienced together, are also included in both games.
Everwind incorporates many elements that fans hoped for from Hytale and now inherits the fame and hype that Hytale lost due to its cancellation.
When is the game supposed to be released? Everwind has not yet been released and is currently in development. While the official Steam page for the sandbox RPG only mentions an upcoming early access release, the Kickstarter page for the project offers insights into the release timing.
There, players are expected to receive their rewards, including access to early access on Steam, starting March 2026, which could mean that the developers will also make the game available to the general public. However, there is no exact date mentioned.
That Everwind has inherited some hype due to its similarities to Hytale is likely a fortunate circumstance for the RPG. According to the developers, the development has been ongoing for 2 years and did not start only with the end of Hytale. There is also still a chance for a reunion with Hytale: Abandoned game reminiscent of Minecraft, now the creator offers 25 million to Riot to save his work
