Hytale Wiki
11 pagesHytale is a sandbox adventure game from Hypixel Studios. Set in a colorful, blocky world called Orbis, it pairs open-world adventure with the kind of deep, accessible creation tools that built the communities around games like Minecraft. After a turbulent road that included a 2025 cancellation by Riot and a revival by its original founder, Hytale launched in Early Access on January 13, 2026 for PC. This wiki tracks the current state of the game and grows as new content lands. New here? Start with our getting started guide.
What Hytale Is Aiming For
Hytale blends two experiences. One is adventure: exploring themed zones, fighting a variety of creatures with action-oriented combat, and, in time, taking on quests and story through the planned Adventure mode. The other is creation: gathering and building in a voxel world, with tools meant to let players and server owners craft custom content, minigames, and whole new modes. In Early Access today, the playable focus is Exploration and Creative, and you can see the full picture on our game modes page.
Creation and Community
The biggest pillar is community content. Hypixel Studios grew out of the team behind one of the largest Minecraft servers, and Hytale has been designed from the start around modding, scripting, and server hosting. The ambition is a platform where the community builds as much of the experience as the developers do.
A Note on Accuracy
Because Hytale is in Early Access, details about systems, content, and timing can still change. We keep this wiki conservative and update it as official information lands, rather than repeating unconfirmed rumors. For first steps, see our getting started guide; for setup and server topics, see our Hytale guides.
