Hytale is an upcoming sandbox game by Hypixel Studios currently in early access. Development began in 2015 by developers from the Minecraft multiplayer server Hypixel with funding from Riot Games. Riot would purchase the studio outright in 2020. Development on Hytale was canceled by Riot in June 2025, before being revived on 17 November 2025 by its original founder, Simon Collins-Laflamme, who had repurchased it from Riot Games and recommenced development. Hytale was released in early access on 13 January 2026.

Hytale features a fantasy world composed of procedurally-generated blocks of numerous shapes arranged in a three-dimensional grid, featuring different biomes, creatures, and dungeons. Players are able to participate in minigames similar to those found on the Hypixel server and able to build and share mods and custom content using a set of browser-based and in-game tools.

Hytale features several procedurally-generated areas of the world known as "zones" made up of many biomes and mobs. This mode is planned to have RPG-styled combat with dungeon exploration and dynamic boss encounters. Hytale features block-based construction and include many different world editing and cinematic tools players can use in-game. It is also planned to feature a visual scripting system that would allow players to create or edit content without needing extensive knowledge of coding languages, as well as a dedicated Blockbench plugin for modeling and animating custom assets. It's planned to feature both official and community-run servers.
