After protracted development at Hypixel, a sale to Riot Games, many quiet years, and an abrupt cancellation and studio closure earlier this year, Hytale is, somehow, back. Riot has sold the Minecraft-inspired survival game back to Hypixel founder Simon Collins-Laflamme, who plans to release it in early access "as soon as possible."

Collins-Laflamme broke the news on Twitter on Monday. "We did it. Hytale is saved. We have acquired Hytale from Riot Games," he writes.
