Hytale is coming, having spent more than half a decade in limbo at Riot Games, which has now decided to divest it and turn the rights over to Hypixel's original founders. And while that's awesome, the game's newly announced price tag is bound to shake the industry and have Minecraft fear for its life.
As per the official Hypixel X account: Hytale will cost no more than $19.99 at launch, which is some 10 bucks cheaper than Minecraft, and follows a precedent set by Silksong that is bound to continue influencing indie pricing for the foreseeable future. After five years in a drawer at Riot Games, Hytale was re-purchased by its original creators, who initially sold it to Riot in 2020. Now, the game is finally coming out and for dirt cheap.
