Cancelled Minecraft-Like Game is Making a Comeback

Minecraft competitor Hytale will resume development after the original developers, Hypixel Studios, acquired the rights to the IP back from Riot Games. Development on the Minecraft-like game began back in 2015 with funding from Riot Games before it was fully acquired by the League of Legends developer in 2020. The studio had previously announced the game’s cancellation back in June 2025.
