“Today, the developer of Hytale, Hypixel Studios, released a development update with a lot of information about the current state of the upcoming Minecraft fantasy game.
Firstly, the game engine is being reworked in C++ as opposed to Java and C#, providing the following benefits.
It will make it easier for us to release Hytale on various platforms. This is one of the most common requests we receive, and we want to fulfill it without compromising quality. We also want to avoid situations where our community is divided based on the platform they play on. It will provide performance benefits.
It will make it easier for us to patch and maintain the game in the future, and build a stronger foundation for the future development of Hytale.
Unfortunately, this will have an impact on the development timeline. While the “engine rework is progressing rapidly” and developers “are reaching internal milestones,” this means that the game will not be ready for 2023, which was previously identified as the earliest release schedule with the best-case scenario.The development team sympathizes with fans who have been waiting for a long time, but they believe this action is the best for the game in the long run.We also know that the team has grown rapidly, and now has over 100 developers, with more joining every month.
