Hytale arrives in very Early Access tomorrow with Native Linux support, and the future of it is looking incredible bright thanks to strong pre-orders.
Speaking on X/Twitter, Hypixel co-founder Simon Collins-Laflamme mentioned:
Pleased to announce that we have officially secured the next two years of development costs through pre-purchases. Combined with my personal commitment of ten years, we are looking very strong for the future ❤️
Thank you all for the support.
Hytale is saved.We are almost home.
In a previous post, they also mentioned they’re expecting to see over 1 million players at the Early Access release, and they’ve put up the launcher ready for people to download on the official site. For Linux, it comes as a Flatpak package and seems to load up just fine. Not really a good stress-test though, we’ll see how their servers actually handle people downloading and logging in. I’m expecting a few fires, even AAA games fall over at release.
Here’s how the launcher looks right now anyway:
I have a copy secured and ready for testing tomorrow. Fingers crossed it works well enough on Linux.
That’s really great news. After being cancelled by Riot and then acquired back to be an indie game again, I hope it continues to see success.
A day ago they also put up another new video to go over some creative tools:
And a pretty cool gothic castle showcase too:
