Riot Games shuts down Hypixel Studios and ends development of Hytale

Hypixel Studios is shutting down and ending development of Hytale. The company was purchased by Riot Games in 2020.

Hypixel CEO Aaron "Noxy" Donaghey said the decision was made when it "became clear we couldn’t bring Hytale to life in a way that truly delivered on its promise." He went on to say that the company behind League of Legends and Valorant offered the staff "generous severance" and is helping impacted employees find new opportunities. The game looked pretty darn cool and recent developer updates teased reworked biomes, improved graphics and a lot more.
