Key Points:
- Simon Collins-Laflamme, Hytale's boss, described the recent early access launch as the most challenging yet rewarding experience of his life.
- Hytale, developed since 2015, faced cancellation by Riot Games in June 2023 after they acquired Hypixel Studios in 2020, but was re-acquired by Collins-Laflamme later that year.
- The game officially released in early access seven days ago, with Collins-Laflamme expressing gratitude to the community and the rebuilt development team for their support and trust.
- Prior to release, Hytale had already sold enough copies to fund two years of further development, bolstered by Collins-Laflamme’s personal decade-long commitment to the project.
