The co-founder of Hypixel Studios announced that the development of Hytalea has been canceled. As he stated, this is a decision that no one from Hypixel Studios or Riot Games wanted. After years of work, it became clear to them that Hytale would not turn out as they promised the audience.
Noxy mentioned that developing video games is brutally hard, especially when creating something original aimed at a creative and dedicated community. As the team grew, so did the bar, and their technical ambitions became more complex; even after switching to a new engine, the team felt they were not where they wanted to be. Furthermore, in the announcement, he thanked the entire team that worked hard to bring the project to light and the owner of the studio Riot Games for their support and the opportunities they provided.
He concluded by thanking the audience who have always been there for them and who financially supported them to reach their goal and who inspired them even more.
