There's been a lot of talk about resurrecting Hytale since Riot cancelled development of the Minecraft-inspired sandbox RPG last week. Most of it is originating from original Hypixel Studios founder Simon Collins-Laflamme, who recently committed to reaching out to Riot to see what can be done. But there's an unexpected name in the conversation, too: Stardew Valley creator Eric Barone.
Barone's interest in Hytale came to light through a Discord message, shared on X by YouTuber Myne. "Possibly," Barone wrote in response to a user who enquired about his interest (and suggested Barone could make some money from it). "But I would have to hear more about what the plan is, why it failed initially (behind the scenes), etc."
